The Mobile phone portal offers the opportunity to hold telephone
conversations using the mobile
phone via a vehicle microphone and vehicle loud speaker system and to
operate the most important mobile telephone functions via the
Infotainment system in the vehicle.
The Mobile phone portal is operated
via the steering wheel remote control
system, a speech recognition system
and a multifunction button on the
radio. The menu-driven operations
and status are shown via the info
display.
The fact that the most important
content on the telephone display is
shown on the info display enables you to operate the whole portal
comfortably.
When a telephone connection is active, the radio sound is switched off.
When the telephone connection has
ended, the radio sound is switched on
again.General advice on these
operating instructions
You can find detailed functional
descriptions for your Infotainment
system in the operating instructions
included with your Infotainment
system.
Not all Mobile phone portal functions
are supported by every phone. The
telephone functions possible depend
on the mobile telephone used and the
network operator. Further information
is given in the operating instructions
for the mobile telephone and can be
obtained from the network operator.9 Warning
The Infotainment system has to be
used so that the vehicle can bedriven safely at all times. If in doubt
stop your vehicle and operate the Infotainment system while the
vehicle is stationary.
Introduction159
Operating the mobile telephoneMobile telephones affect your
environment. This is the reason why
safety rules and regulations were
drawn up. You should find out about
the relevant regulations before you
use the telephone function.9 Warning
Use of the hands-free facility while
driving can be dangerous because
your concentration is reduced
when telephoning. Park your
vehicle before you use the hands- free facility. Follow the stipulations
of the country in which you find
yourself at present.
Do not forget to follow the special
regulations that apply in specific areas and always switch off the
mobile phone if the use of mobile
phones is prohibited, if
interference is caused by the
mobile phone or if dangerous
situations can occur.
Bluetooth™
The Mobile telephone portal supports
Bluetooth™ Handsfree Profile V. 1.5
and is specified to Bluetooth™
Special Interest Group (SIG).
Further information on the
specification can be found on the
interned under
http://qualweb.bluetooth.org. The Bluetooth™ qualification code of the
Mobile phone portal is B02237.
When devices are being paired, a
random PIN code of at least four digits should be selected for reasons of
safety.
Declaration of conformityWe hereby declare that the Mobile
phone portal is compliant with the
basic requirements and other
relevant stipulations of the guideline
1999/5/EC.Operating the speech
recognition system Do not use the speech recognition
system in emergencies because your voice can change so much in stressful situations that you can no longer be
sufficiently recognised in order for the
desired connection to be created
quickly enough.
Control elements
The Mobile phone portal can be
operated via a steering wheel remote
control system, speech recognition
system and a multifunction knob on
the radio.
As soon as the Mobile phone portal
has been switched on and the mobile telephone is logged in, the start pageappears on the display.

Bluetooth connection
The Bluetooth™ function on the

Bluetooth™ is a radio standard for
wireless connection of e.g. a mobile

Information such as the phone book,
call list, network operator and field
intensity can be transmitted.
Depending on type of equipment, the functions may be restricted.
Creating a connectionIn the main menu select the
telephone symbol from the headline.
164Introduction9Warning
Do not end the call until you are
requested to do so by the
emergency call centre.
Operation
Introduction As soon as a connection is created
between the mobile telephone and
the Infotainment system via
Bluetooth™, you can also operate many of the mobile telephone's
functions via the Infotainment system.
For example, via the infotainment
system you can create a connection
with the telephone numbers saved in
the mobile telephone or change the
telephone numbers.
As a rule, you can also continue
operating the system using the
mobile telephone, e.g. by accepting a call or setting the sound level.
After a connection has been created
between the mobile telephone and
the Infotainment system, data is
transferred from the mobile telephone to the Infotainment system. This may
take some time, depending on the
brand of telephone. During this period
of time, the mobile telephone can only be operated to a limited extent via the Infotainment system.
Some telephones do not support all of
the Mobile phone portal's functions.
As a result of this, these specific
telephones may work differently from
the functional content described in
the manual.
In addition to operating using the
steering wheel remote control
system, some functions can also be
operated using a speech recognition
system 3 169.Making telephone calls
Three different options where dialling
a telephone number is concerned are available:
■ dial the telephone number manually
■ select the telephone number from the phone book
■ select the telephone number from the list of calls (calls made, calls
received and missed calls)
DialDialling the telephone number
