Note
● Restrictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities.
● If you wish to connect a device to the tele-
phone management system via Bluetooth ®
technology, consult the safety warnings in its
instruction manual. Only use compatible
Bluetooth ®
devices. Areas where special regulations apply
Switch off the mobile telephone and the mo-
bile telephone provision in places with a risk
of explosion. In the majority of cases, these
places are signposted, but not always clearly
››› in General information on page 56. They
include, for example:
● the vicinity of chemical pipelines and tanks
● The lower decks of boats and ferries.
● In the proximity of vehicles that run on liq-
uid gas (such as propane or butane).
● places where the air is laden with chemi-
cals or particles such as flour, dust or metal
powder.
● all other places where the vehicle engine
must be switched off WARNING
Switch off the mobile phone in areas with a
risk of explosion! The mobile telephone can
automatically connect to the mobile tele-
phone network again if it loses the Blue-
tooth ®
connection to the telephone manage-
ment system. CAUTION
In areas where special regulations apply or
the use of mobile telephones is prohibited,
both the telephone and the telephone man-
agement system must be switched off. The
radiation produced by the mobile telephone
when switched on may interfere with sensi-
tive technical and medical equipment, possi-
bly resulting in a malfunction or damage to
the equipment. Bluetooth
® Bluetooth
®
Bluetooth ®
technology allows a mobile tele-
phone to be connected to your vehicle's tele-
phone management system. In order to use
the telephone management system with a
mobile telephone with Bluetooth ®
technolo-
gy, it is first necessary to pair them.
Some Bluetooth ®
mobile telephones detect
and automatically connect when turning on
the ignition if a connection has been previ-
ously established. For this to take place the telephone must be switched on and its Blue-
tooth
®
function activated, and there must be
no active Bluetooth ®
connection with other
devices.
Bluetooth ®
connections are free.

Bluetooth profiles ®
When a mobile telephone is connected to the
telephone management system, a data ex-
change takes place via one of the Bluetooth ®
profiles.
● Hands-free Bluetooth profile (HFP) : If a mo-
b i
le telephone is connected to the telephone
manager through the HFP, calls can be made
wirelessly through the hands-free device.
This function also requires other Bluetooth
profiles such as the phonebook download
and instant messaging.
● Advanced audio profile (A2DP): Bluetooth
profile for transmitting audio signals with
stereo quality. This function can also connect
other additional Bluetooth profiles for view-
ing tracks and for controlling playback on the
mobile device.

ties may have access to this communication
w ith the
System via WLAN without Mirror-
Link ®
. MirrorLink™
Introduction MirrorLink™ is a protocol which enables the
communication between a portable device
and the Infotainment system via USB.

rectly secured in the vehicle, it could move
around the passenger compartment in the event of a sudden driving manoeuvre, emer-
gency stop or accident, resulting in injury.
●
While driving, mobile terminals must be se-
curely fastened in position, outside the air-
bag deployment zones, or safely stowed
