Introduction
Always pay attention to traffic conditions.

tions before beginning your journey.

the various sources (mobile phone, memory
card, USB device, the phone book of the multi-
media system, navigation).
You can use the contacts to make telephone
calls, navigate and to write messages.

displayed in the address book. If you disconnect the mobile phone from the multimedia system,
these contacts are no longer displayed in the
address book.
When you import, save, edit or add contacts,
they will be saved in the multimedia system.
These contacts will remain available even when you connect the multimedia system to a differ-
ent mobile phone. You can view these contacts
even without a mobile phone.
i The address book can store a total of 5,000
contacts:
R 2000 entries are reserved for permanently
saved contacts.
R 3000 entries are reserved for contacts that
