Bluetooth hands-free systemVehicle features and op‐
tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the
series. It also describes features that are not
necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.
The concept Mobile phones can be connected to the vehicle
via Bluetooth. After the mobile phones are
paired once, they are recognized automatically
when the ignition is switched on. As soon as
they are inside the vehicle they can be oper‐
ated via the radio and via the buttons on the
steering wheel.
Hints Using the mobile phone while driving
Make entries only when traffic and road
conditions allow. Do not hold the mobile phone
in your hand while you are driving; use the
hands-free system instead. If you do not ob‐
serve this precaution, you can endanger the ve‐
hicle's occupants and other traffic. ◀

the mobile phone can be limited under certain
circumstances, and some functions are no lon‐
ger executed.Do not operate a mobile phone that is con‐
nected to the vehicle on the mobile phone key‐
