General operating information Introduction Note
● Lightly pressing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the unit.
● It is possible that not all the functions and
function buttons are available as the software
of the unit responds to the specific character-
istics of each market. A missing function but-
ton on the screen is not the result of an error
in the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
functions cannot be selected on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile phone inside the vehicle
can cause noise in the speakers.
● There may be restrictions on the use of
Bluetooth devices in some countries. Infor-
mation is available from the local authorities.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking
distance warning system, the volume of the 4
5
6 audio source is automatically lowered when
the gear is engaged.
● If the steering wheel has a voice control
button  , it will not work in this radio mod-
el, so it has no function in relation to the ra-
dio. Rotary knobs and buttons

in stops being received, TP will also be dis-
pl

ayed crossed out, and you must search for
a station manually.
During operation in

traffic report station is always set automati-
cally in the background, provided there is
one that can be tuned in. Depending on your
location, this process can take some time.

PHONE mode*
PHONE mode* Introduction to telephone
management The telephone functions described below can
be managed through the infotainment sys-
tem provided a mobile phone is paired and
connected to the infotainment system.
● Linking and connecting a mobile phone to
the infotainment system.
The requirement for establishing a connec-
tion between a mobile phone and the info-
tainment system is that the mobile phone
has Bluetooth ®
.
When there is no mobile phone linked to the
infotainment system, telephone manage-
ment is not available.
Please refer to the notes on how to use mo-
bile telephones in vehicles without connec-
tion to the exterior antenna ›››
Booklet In-
struction Manual, chapter Accessories and
technical modifications .WARNING
Making calls and managing the preinstalla-
tion for mobile phones while driving can dis-
tract you from the traffic and cause an acci-
dent.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly. ●
Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● In areas with no or poor network coverage,
under certain circumstances in tunnels, ga-
rages and underpasses, telephone conversa-
tions may cut out or it may be impossible to
make calls, even in an emergency. WARNING
A loose or incorrectly secured mobile phone
could be thrown inside the vehicle and cause
injury in the event of sudden manoeuvres,
braking or accidents.
● While driving, the mobile phone must al-
ways be correctly secured, outside of the
working radius of the airbag. WARNING
If you carry a mobile phone that is switched
on directly over a pacemaker, this may cause
interference in its functioning.
● Between the antenna of the mobile phone
and the pacemaker there must be a minimum
distance of 20 centimetres for the mobile
phone not to affect the functioning of the
pacemaker.
● Do not carry your mobile phone in your
breast pocket, directly over the pacemaker,
when it is switched on.
● If you suspect your mobile phone is causing
interference, switch it off immediately. Note
● Telephone conversations inside the vehicle
can be affected by high speed, poor atmos-
pheric conditions and the road surface, as
well as by the quality of the network.
● The instructions that appear on the screen
related to the menu of each phone depend on
the mobile phone used. There may be differ-
ences.
● Take into account the instruction manuals
of the mobile phone and the supplier of the
accessories, and any instructions for using
the headset.
● In areas with poor coverage there may be
anomalies in the reception and calls may be
interrupted.
● Consult the compatibility list to ensure
your mobile phone will work properly.
● If you detect any strange behaviour be-
tween your mobile phone and the radio, re-
start your mobile by switching it off and on
again.
● Most electronic devices are shielded
against high-frequency radio signals. On cer-
tain occasions, nevertheless, electronic
equipment might not be protected against
the radio frequency signals of the telephone
management (Phone). This may produce in-
terference. 24

●
If necessary, confirm the pairing request in
the mobile phone.
● Use your mobile phone to enter and con-
firm your PIN code, as indicated in the dis-
play of the infotainment system.
● ALTERNATIVELY: Compare the PIN code
sho wn in the di

splay of the infotainment sys-
tem with the PIN code that appears on the
mobile phone. If they coincide, you must con-
firm it on both
devices.
Once pairing is complete, the PHONE
main
menu will be shown.
Linking and connecting mobile telephones
You can pair up to 20 mobile phones to the
infotainment system, but only one mobile phone can be connected as hands-free, and
another device as a Bluetooth audio profile.
When you turn on the infotainment system
the connection is automatically established
with the mobile phone that was last connec-
ted. If it cannot establish a connection with
that mobile phone, the phone manager will
automatically try to establish a connection
with the next mobile phone that appears on
the list of linked devices.
The working radius of the Bluetooth connec-
tion is
a maximum of 10 metres . If this work-
ing radius is exceeded, the connection estab-
lished through Bluetooth will be interrupted.
The connection is automatically re-establish-
ed as

soon as this device comes back into
the Bluetooth working radius.
If the maximum number of linked devices is
reached and you wish to link another one to
the system, it will automatically replace the
one that has recently been used the least. If
you wish to replace it with another one, the
user must erase it beforehand. To do so:
● Press the unit button Setup within the tele-
phone context.
● Press the function button Bluetooth setup .
● Press the function button My devices .
● In the list of paired devices, press the func-
tion button remove after the mobile phone to
be deleted and then press Delete to confirm
the process. Note
● The behaviour may vary depending on the
device connected.
● For some android mobile devices you must
accept the request to access the PBAP phone-
book after linking, to be able to access the
phonebook. It is recommended to activate
the option “always” so as not to have to ac-
cept it every time you connect. General information
