Introduction to the subject
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen, Bolero
This chapter deals with the operation of Infotainment with the telephone con-
nected via Bluetooth ®
as well as the use of the SIM-card in the external mod-
ule.
Depending on the Bluetooth ®
-profile used it is possible to connect to a tele-
phone or two phones simultaneously to Infotainment.
The SIM card in the external module can be used for data and telephone serv-
ices (Columbus).
If telephones are connected to Infotainment with multiple SIM cards, then calls
can be accepted by all SIM cards of the connected telephones.
For outgoing calls, it depends on the type of connected telephone, either only
the primary SIM card or one of the other SIM cards can be selected.
The Infotainment allows you to choose if you want to text messages of the
main phone (if this is supported by the phone), or work with text messages
from the SIM card inserted in the external module.
If Infotainment is connected to an external device via Apple CarPlay then the
use of the Bluetooth ®
connection is not possible and the Telephone menu is
not available. A possible data connection via the SIM card remains operational
» page 171 .

Introduction to the subject
The range of the connection to Infotainment is limited to the passenger com-
partment.
To connect a telephone with Infotainment, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The pairing process is dependent on the number of phones that are already
connected or by using the SIM card inserted in the external module (Columbus)
» page 162 .
Depending on the Infotainment model, up to 20 external devices can be paired
with the device. After reaching the maximum number, the pairing of the next
external device will replace that of the device that has not been used for the
longest period of time.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require pairing.
It is enough to find the telephone that has been paired in the list of paired
phones and make the connection.
WARNINGPair and connect a telephone to Infotainment only when the vehicle is at a
standstill - there is risk of an accident!1)
In some countries, the function may not be available.
2)
For active online services Care Connect carried out the connection to the emergency number using this
service.

Brakes and Parking
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Electric parking brake
206
Auto Hold function
207
Parking

The wear of the brake pads is dependent on the operating conditions and driv-
ing style. Under difficult conditions (e.g. urban, sporty driving style) the condi-
tion of the brakes should also be checked by a specialist garage between the
service intervals.
The performance of the brakes can be delayed if the brakes are damp, iced up
in winter or if covered in a layer of salt . The brakes are cleaned and dried by
applying the brakes several times »
.
Corrosion on the brake discs and dirt on the brake pads occur if the vehicle has
been parked for a long period and if you do not make much use of the braking
system. The brakes are cleaned by applying the brakes several times »
.
Before travelling a long distance with a steep gradient , reduce speed and
shift into the next lowest gear. As a result, the braking effect of the engine will
be used, reducing the load on the brakes. If you do have to brake, this should
be carried out at intervals.
Emergency braking display - when an emergency braking is performed, the
automatic flashing of the brake lights are used to alert the traffic behind.
New brake pads must first be “worn in” because these do not initially have the
best possible braking effect. Drive especially carefully for the first 200 km or
so.
A too low brake fluid level can cause faults in the braking system , the warn-
ing light illuminates in the instrument cluster
» page 35,
Brake system
. If
the warning light does not illuminate and an extended stopping distance is re-
quired, then driving should be adapted according to the unknown cause of
fault and restricted braking effect - seek the assistance of a specialist garage
immediately.
The brake booster increases the pressure generated with the brake pedal. The
brake booster only operates when the engine is running.
WARNING■ Greater physical effort is required for braking when the engine is switch-
ed off – risk of accident!■
During the braking procedure on a vehicle with manual transmission,
when the vehicle is in gear and at low revs, press the clutch pedal. Other-
wise, the functionality of the brake system may be impaired – risk of acci-
dent!
■
Do not press the brake pedal if braking is now required. This causes the
brakes to overheat and can also result in a longer braking distance and ex-
cessive wear - risk of accident!
■
Braking for the purpose of drying and cleaning the brake discs should be
carried out only if the traffic conditions permit. Do not place any other road
users in jeopardy.
■
Recommendations for new brake pads have to be observed.
■
When stopping and parking, the parking brake should always be on, oth-
erwise the vehicle could move off - there is the risk of an accident!
■
If a front spoiler, full wheel trim, etc. is mounted retrospectively, it must
be ensured that the air supply to the front wheel brakes is not reduced.
Otherwise, the functionality of the brake system may be impaired – risk of
accident!
