The concept
Mobile phones can be connected with the vehi‐
cle via Bluetooth.
After these devices are paired once, they are
recognized automatically when the ignition is
switched on as soon as they are in the vehicle
and can then be operated via the radio, the but‐
tons on the steering wheel, and via voice acti‐
vation.
After a suitable mobile phone is paired with the
vehicle once, you can operate the mobile phone
via the radio, the buttons on the steering wheel,
and via voice activation.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue‐
tooth® SIG, Inc.
Using the mobile phone while driving
Make entries only when traffic and road
conditions allow. Do not hold the mobile phone
in your hand while you are driving; use the
hands-free system instead. If you do not ob‐
serve this precaution, you can endanger the ve‐
hicle occupants and other road users.◀Snap-in adapter
The snap-in adapter is used to:▷Hold the mobile phone.▷Recharge the battery.▷Connect the mobile phone to an outside an‐
tenna of the vehicle.
This provides for better network reception
and consistent sound quality.
Avoid operating a mobile phone that has been
detected by the vehicle on the keypad of the
mobile phone, as this may lead to malfunctions.
