Contents The different functions and settings
described vary according to the version
and configuration of your vehicle.
As a safety measure and because it
requires sustained attention by the
driver, the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile
telephone with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system must be
done with the vehicle stationary
and the
ignition on.
The system is protected in such a way that
it will only operate in your vehicle.
The display of the message Energy
Economy Mode signals that a change to
standby is imminent.
The link below gives access to OSS (Open
Source Software) codes for the system.
