Introduction
Always pay attention to traffic conditions.
Familiarize yourself with the address book
functions before beginning your journey.

traffic conditions permit. You could otherwise become involved in an accident in which you
or others could be injured.
The address book displays all the contacts
from the various sources (mobile phone,
memory card, USB device, COMAND phone
book, navigation).
You can use the contacts to make telephone
calls, navigate and to write messages.
If a mobile phone is connected to COMAND
and automatic calling up is activated
(Y page 167), the mobile phone's contacts
are displayed in the address book. If you dis-
connect the mobile phone from COMAND,
these contacts are no longer displayed in the address book.
When you import, save, edit or add contacts,they will be saved in COMAND. These con-
tacts will remain there even when you con-
nect COMAND to a different mobile phone. 162
