The universal telephone pre-installation GSM II makes it possible to play back
music via Bluetooth ®
from the devices such as MP3 player, mobile phone or
notebook.
To ensure that music can be played via Bluetooth ®
, you must first pair the de-
vice with the hands-free system in the Phone - Bluetooth - Media player
menu.The music playback process is performed on the connected device.
The universal telephone pre-installation GSM II ensures that the music played back via the hands-free system can be controlled with the remote con-
trol » page 94 , Voice commands .
Note
The device being connected must support the Bluetooth ®
A2DP profile; refer
to the operating instructions for the relevant device being connected.

Multifunction steering wheel: Navigation control buttons
The multifunction steering wheel features buttons for operating the basic
functions for the factory-fitted radio and navigation system » Fig. 96.
The radio and the navigation system can of course still be operated via the de- vices. A description is included in the relevant operating instructions.
If the side lights are switched on, the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel are illuminated.
The buttons apply for the respective operating mode of the current radio, au-
dio, video or navigation system.
The following functions can be completed by pressing or turning the buttons.Button /

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Traction Control System (TCS)

Electronic Differential Lock (EDL)

This chapter deals with the functions of the braking and stabilisation systems,
with the error indicator referred to in chapter » page 30, Indicator lights .
The braking and stabilisation systems are automatically activated each time
the ignition is switched on.
WARNING■ A lack of fuel can cause irregular engine running or cause the engine to
shut down. The brake assist systems would then fail to function – risk of
accident!■
The increased safety provided by the brake assist systems must not
tempt you to take safety risks – risk of accident!
■
Adjust the speed and driving style to the current visibility, weather, road
and traffic conditions.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Fig. 105
Buttons for the ESC system: Acti-
vating/deactivating TCS
Read and observe on page 106 first.
The ESC improves vehicle stability in dynamic driving situations, such as when the vehicle starts to skid.
The ESC monitors whether the desired direction of the current vehicle motion
is occurring. In case of any deviation (e.g. oversteer), the ESC automatically
brakes individual wheels to maintain the desired direction.
During an intervention in the system, the control light will blink in 
the instru-
ment cluster.
The ESC system cannot be deactivated. The AST can only be 
» Fig. 105 deacti-
vated with the symbol key » page 106.
The warning light lights up in the instrument cluster when the ASR is deactiva- ted .
The TCS should normally always be enabled. The system should be deactivated
only in the following situations, for example.
› When driving with snow chains.
› When driving in deep snow or on a very loose surface.
› When “rocking a car free” when it has become stuck.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Read and observe
on page 106 first.
ABS prevents the wheels from locking when braking. Thereby, it helps the
driver to maintain control of the vehicle.
The intervention of the ABS is noticeable from the pulsating movements of
the brake pedal which is accompanied by noises.
When the ABS system is active, do not brake periodically or reduce the pres-
sure on the brake pedal.
Traction Control System (TCS)
Read and observe
on page 106 first.
TCS prevents the spinning of the wheels of the driven axle. TCS reduces thedrive power transmitted to the wheels in the case of slipping wheels. Thereby,
for example, driving on road surfaces with low grip is made easier.
If your vehicle is fitted with the ESC system, the ASR is integrated into the ESC
system » page 106 . 
