The device allows for a wireless connection to the telephone. Your telephone
can be operated from the device.
The Telephone menu is available when the following conditions are met.
The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function on the device is switched on.
WARNING■ The national legal regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must
be observed.■
The operation of mobile phones without connection to the external an-
tenna can lead to an increase in the strength of the electromagnetic field
inside the vehicle.
■
No objects such as mobile phone mounts, etc. must be attached to the
covers of the airbag modules or be located within their immediate vicinity.
■
Never leave a telephone in the deployment area of an airbag, on a seat,
on the dash panel or in another area, from which it can be thrown during a
sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - there is a risk of in-
jury. There are storage compartments with lids and if necessary there is the
multimedia storage compartments to hold this » Vehicle owner's manual ,
chapter Transport and practical equipment .
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
CAUTION■ In areas with no signal and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways a tele-
phone conversation can be interrupted and no telephone connection can be
established - not even in an emergency!■
We recommend that the installation of communication equipment in a vehi-
cle be carried out by a specialist firm.
Note
■ The range of the telephone connection to the device using the Bluetooth ®
profile is limited to the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local condi-
tions, e.g. obstacles between the devices and mutual interferences with other
devices. If your telephone is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to
difficulties when establishing a connection with the device or transferring da-
ta.■
The functionality of the telephone is dependent on the telephone service op-
erator and the phone being used. Further information is available from the tel-
ephone service operator or can be taken from the telephone manual.
