Using the telephone
Applies to vehicles: with Bluetooth car telephone kit or phone pre-installation
Introduction
You can operate a mobile phone* or the handset conveniently via
the MMI system. It does not matter whether the mobile phone is
connected to the Bluetooth car telephone kit or the phone pre-
installation. The basic operation via the MMI control console is
always the same.
Many telephone functions that you are familiar with from your land
line or your mobile phone are available in your vehicle: You can
answer and end calls, place calls on hold and go back and forth
between two separate calls (switching calls). In addition, you can
access the MMI directory, the phone book on your SIM card and the
phone book on your mobile phone.
When you place or receive telephone calls the audio source is
muted automatically and the current media drive is paused. A
crossed-out loudspeaker will appear in the display when the system
is muted. After the call the audio source will return to its previous
volume.
You can set the system so that it will switch off the navigation* voice
guidance during phone calls if desired
page 119.
Caution
•You must switch off the telephone system via the MMI menu
(Setup Telephone) in areas where the use of mobile telephones is
prohibited. Please observe all relevant caution notices and regula-
tions.
•Switch off the car telephone kit, the handset*
page 140 and
any other mobile phones in all areas where there may be a risk of
explosion. Remember that these areas may not always be
adequately marked. Such places are filling stations, fuel and chem-
ical storage facilities or transport vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking propane or fuel vapours in vehi-
cles or buildings) or large quantities of dust particles (e.g. from
flour, wood or metal) could accumulate in the air. This warning also
applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your
engine.
Note
The telephone functions will depend on the mobile network service
provider and the mobile phone used. For more information, contact
your service provider.
