Address book
Introduction
Always pay attention to traffic conditions.
Familiarize yourself with the address book func-
tions before beginning your journey.
You can use the multimedia system when the
road and traffic conditions permit. You could
otherwise become involved in an accident in
which you or others could be injured.
The address book displays all the contacts from
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.
If a mobile phone is connected to the multimedia
system and automatic calling up is activated
(
Ypage 108), the mobile phone's contacts are
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.
iThe address book can store a total of 5000
contacts.
R2000 entries are reserved for permanently
saved contacts.
R3000 entries are reserved for contacts that
you can load from the mobile phone.
iBefore selling your vehicle, delete the con-
tacts saved in the multimedia system using
the reset function (
Ypage 43).

ing instructions). The messages are then dis-
played the next time you connect to the multi-
media system.
An e-mail account must be set up on the mobile
phone for the e-mail function (see the manufac-
turer’s operating instructions).
To read and write e-mails in the multimedia sys- tem, the e-mail account first needs to be con-
figured (

messages
Rdo not support the drafts folder for text mes- sages
Rdo not support the sending of text messages
Rdo not support the e-mail function

cation number (VIN) and is deleted if the multi-
media system is reset (
Ypage 43).
The following driving status data is transmitted:
RGear position engaged
RDifference between parked, stationary,
coasting and driving
RInstrument cluster day/night mode

RSpeed
RCompass direction
RAcceleration direction
RGyroscopic effects
These data are transmitted only when naviga-
tion is active in order to improve navigation (e.g.

transmitted, you can deactivate automatic start-
ing of Apple CarPlay™ (
