distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
x Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the Infotainment System,
when using your cell phone, or when operating the cell phone controls.
x Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your cell phone,
and the cell phone controls only if road, traffic, and weather conditions permit and you will
not be distracted from your driving.

exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
x Your call may be cut off or you may be unable to make calls if you are in an area with no
cell phone network coverage, an area where the network is very weak or, in some cases, in a
tunnel, garage or underpass. This also means that no emergency calls can be made.
x In some countries, an emergency call is supported only if the cell phone is connected to
the telephone control containing an “unlocked” SIM CARd with sufficient credit or if a valid
SIM CARd is in the SIM CARd reader.
.WARNING

occupants.
x Never attach a cell phone to, or place it on, a door, the windshield, or above or near the
areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the instrument panel, and the seat backrests,
or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. The cell phone could cause serious injury
in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.
.WARNING
Always switch off the cell phone when refueling and in areas with a risk of explosion. The
electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
x The cell phone can automatically log itself into the cell phone network again when the
Bluetooth® connection to the telephone control is interrupted.
.WARNING
If a cell phone not connected to an external aerial is used in the vehicle, electromagnetic
radiation in the interior could exceed limit values. This also applies if the outside antenna is
not installed properly.
x Heart specialists advise that cell phones can adversely affect the way pacemakers work.
Always keep the cell phone and its integrated antenna at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from a
pacemaker.

pacemaker.
x If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical device, switch
the cell phone off immediately.
.NOTICE
x Your cell phone and the telephone control must always be switched off in areas where
special regulations apply and when the use of cell phones is forbidden. Radiation from a
switched-on mobile phone can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices,
potentially causing malfunctions or damage to the devices.
x High speeds, poor weather and road conditions as well as the network quality may impair
telephone calls in the vehicle and lead to loss of connection.
General information
When pairing a cell phone with the telephone control using the hands-free profile (HFP) observe the
information for use of a cell phone in the vehicle without connection to the external aerial .
