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 106), 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 5,000
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 (
