cle via Bluetooth.

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.
