The Telephone menu is available when the following conditions are met: The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function on the device is switched on.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most re- cently connected telephone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the connec- tion to the telephone is not lost. The connection is only lost after switching off
the ignition (for vehicles with the system KESSY after switching off the ignition
and opening the driver's door).
WARNING■ The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served.■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle without
an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incorrectly,
this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field inside the vehicle.
■
Two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts must not be installed on
airbag covers or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a telephone in the deployment area of an airbag, on a seat, on
the dash panel or in another area, from which it can be thrown during a sud- den braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - risk of injury. There are
storage compartments with lids and if necessary there is the multimedia stor-
age compartments to hold this » Vehicle owner's manual , chapter Practical
equipment.
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
CAUTION
■ In areas with no signal and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways a tele-
phone conversation can be interrupted and no telephone connection can be es-
tablished - not even in an emergency!■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is limited to
the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles be-
tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your telephone
is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when establishing a connection with the device or transferring data.

Route calculation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 67.
The route is calculated automatically according to the entered destination. The
calculation takes the settings of the route options » page 53 (route type, dynamic
route, etc.) into account.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Nav. announcements
can only then be re-transmitted.
If Demo mode is switched on » page 54, a prompt appears asking whether you
want the guidance to start in demo mode or normal mode.
Demo mode provides a travel simulation to the entered destination. It offers the
chance to travel the calculated route “virtually” on the device screen.
If an alternative route option is set, function keys are displayed, following the cal- culation, for the route types with information on the route length and the expec-ted travelling time.
Route Type
economically
quickly
short
Selecting the route type will start route guidance. After the route has been calculated, additional information specific to the selec-ted route is displayed on the function keys for the route types » page 53, e.g., use
of motorways 
, Toll roads 
and the like.
If the option for alternative routes is disabled, the route is calculated and route
guidance is started according to the preferred route » page 53.
It is possible to select a pre-calculated route before the calculation of the remain- ing routes is completed.
The unit tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data is in-
complete or there is no data at all for the given area (e.g., one-way streets, road
types, etc.).
Interrupt and continue route guidance
If the ignition is switched off and on again and the key was left in the ignition (in
vehicles with the KESSY system, when the ignition was switched off):
› within 30 minutes - route guidance is continued, taking into account the calcu-
lated route
› Between 30 and 40 min - the screen switches to “standby” mode (energy-sav-
ing mode of the screen); the route guidance continues using the calculated route
› Between 40 min and 120 min - the unit screen displays the message
Continue
route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance continues
using the calculated route;
› After 120 min - The route guidance is cancelled.
Switch ignition off and on again and remove the key temporarily (in vehicles with
the KESSY system, switch off the ignition and open the driver's door):
› Within 10 min - route guidance is continued, taking into account the calculated
route
› Between 10 min and 120 min - the screen switches to “standby mode” (energy-
saving mode of the screen); the unit screen displays the message Continue
