2014 VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG Owners Manual

Introduction
Before using

Before using the cellular telephone (mobile phone) control for the first time, carry out the following steps. This will enable you to use the mobile phone control safely and make full use of the functions it provides:
d Follow the basic safety instructions

WARNING
A mobile phone on the seat, instrument panel or in other places can be thrown around the inside of the vehicle during a sudden braking maneuver, a crash or other accident and injure vehicle occupants.
x Never attach a mobile phone to, or place it on, a door, the windshield, or above or near the areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the instrument panel, and the seat backrests, or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. The mobile phone could cause serious injury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
Always switch off the mobile phone when refueling and in areas with a risk of explosion. The electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks that can ignite fuel vapors and cause a fire.
x The mobile phone can automatically log itself into the mobile phone network again when the Bluetooth® connection to the telephone control is interrupted.
WARNING
If a mobile phone not connected to an external aerial is used in the vehicle, electromagnetic radiation in the interior could exceed limit values. This also applies if the outside antenna is not installed properly.
x Heart specialists advise that mobile phones can adversely affect the way pacemakers work. Always keep the mobile phone and its integrated antenna at least 8 inches (20 cm) away from a pacemaker.
x Never carry a mobile phone that is switched on in the breast pocket directly over a pacemaker.
x If you suspect there may be interference with a pacemaker or other medical device, switch the mobile phone off immediately.
NOTICE
x Your mobile phone and the telephone control must always be switched off in areas where special regulations apply and when the use of mobile phones is forbidden. Radiation from a switched-on mobile phone can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices, potentially causing malfunctions or damage to the devices.
x High speeds, poor weather and road conditions as well as the network quality may impair telephone calls in the vehicle and lead to loss of connection.
General information
When pairing a mobile phone with the telephone control using the hands-free profile (HFP) observe the information for use of a mobile phone in the vehicle without connection to the external aerial
Only use compatible Bluetooth® devices. Information on compatible Bluetooth products is available from your Volkswagen dealer or on the Internet.
Follow the operational instructions of the mobile phone and the accessory manufacturer.
You may experience poor reception or may be cut off in areas where the signal is weak.

Most electrical devices are shielded against RF (high-frequency) signals. In rare cases, however, electronic devices may not be shielded against high-frequency signals emitted by the telephone control. Interference may occur.
Some countries may have restrictions regarding the use of Bluetooth devices. Information can be obtained from the local authorities.
When connecting the telephone control with a device using Bluetooth, read the device's operating manual for detailed safety information. Use only Bluetooth-compatible devices.

Description

x Bluetooth remote SIM Access Profiles (rSAP)19: The mobile phone must support rSAP. The telephone control does not use its own SIM card, but rather “borrows” the SIM data of the mobile phone via a Bluetooth connection. The mobile phone logs itself out of the GSM network and logs into the telephone control using the data from the “borrowed” SIM card. The telephone is then controlled exclusively via the controls in the vehicle. The mobile phone goes into standby mode. This Bluetooth profile allows all telephone control functions and the exterior aerial to be used to the full.
x Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP): If a mobile phone is connected via HFP to the telephone control, you can make calls wireless via the hands-free system. Many other telephone control functions are not available. The vehicle's exterior aerial can thus not be used.
x Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP): Bluetooth profile for transferring audio signals
Volkswagen recommends pairing a mobile phone with the telephone control via Bluetooth-rSAP in order to use all telephone control functions.

NOTICE
To operate the telephone control, a light press of the button or light pressure on the feature keys on the screen is sufficient.
“Bluetooth audio” wireless communication interface

On a connected Bluetooth audio source, all warning and service tones, such as touch tones on a mobile phone, should be switched off to avoid interference and malfunctions.
If the device is connected to the telephone control via A2DP, no other devices can be paired. The Bluetooth visibility of the telephone control deactivated for the duration of the active A2DP connection. This is not a fault in the telephone control. In order to pair further devices, deactivate the Bluetooth audio (A2DP) feature in Telephone settings and Bluetooth settings and activate it again after completing the pairing.

with the service center of your home country. A telephone connection can only be set up if a switched-on mobile phone is paired with the telephone control via Bluetooth
