ferent country and using the online and
Internet functions on COMAND, you may
incur additional costs (roaming fees).
i While initializing the mobile phone for the
Internet connection, access data which is
already on the mobile phone may be over-
written. You should therefore check the
settings on the mobile phone (see the
