General notes
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate mobile communication equip-
ment while driving, you will be distracted from traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate this equipment when the vehicle
is stationary.
If you make a call on your mobile phone while
driving, always use hands-free mode. Only
use the mobile phone when road, weather
and traffic conditions permit. Some jurisdic-
tions prohibit the driver from using a mobile
phone while driving a vehicle.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
per second.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others.
There is scientific discussion surrounding thepossible health risks posed by electromag- netic fields. You can reduce this risk by using
an exterior antenna.
Therefore, only use mobile communication
equipment if it is connected to the exterior
antenna of the vehicle.

In preparation for telephoning via the Blue-
tooth®interface, you should check the fol-
lowing items on your mobile phone (see the
mobile phone operating instructions):
RHands-Free Profile
The mobile phone must support Hands-
Free Profile 1.0 or above.
RBluetooth®visibility
On certain mobile phones, the device itself
must be made "visible" to other devices, as
well as activating the Bluetooth
®function
(see the mobile phone operating instruc-
tions).
This visibility is for restricted periods of
time on some mobile phones.
RBluetooth®device name
Every Bluetooth
®device has its own Blue-
tooth®device name. This device name is
freely definable, but can be identical for all
devices from the same manufacturer. It is
therefore recommended that you change
this name so that you can easily recognize
your mobile phone (see the mobile phone
operating instructions).
iNot all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. You can obtain

mobile phones and about connecting Blue-
tooth
