air mode switches off automatically after a cer‐
tain amount of time, depending on the external
temperature.
With constant recirculated-air mode, the air
quality in the car's interior deteriorates and the
fogging of the windows increases.
If the windows fog over, switch off recirculated-
air mode and increase the air flow, if needed.
Air flow, manual Turn the ring to set the desired
air volume.
The higher the rate, the more ef‐
fective the heating or cooling will

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.
Information WARNING
Operating the integrated information sys‐
tem and communication devices while driving
can distract from traffic. It is possible to lose
control of the vehicle. There is risk of an acci‐
dent. Only use the systems or devices when the
traffic situation allows. If necessary stop and
use the systems and devices while the vehicle is
stationary. ◀
Certain functions may need to be enabled by
the mobile phone provider or service provider.
At high temperatures, the charge functions of
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‐
pad, as this may lead to a malfunction.
When the mobile phone is used via the vehicle,
refer to the operating manual of the mobile
phone.
