Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
To make phone calls in your vehicle using the
MMI, connect your cell phone to the MMI via
Bluetooth.
Handsfree
After you have connected your mobile device to
the MMI via Bluetooth, you can use the handsfree
system and operate telephone functions through
your MMI. You can make calls using the antenna
on your mobile device.
Z\ WARNING
— Medical experts warn that mobile devices
can interfere with the function of pacemak-
ers. Always maintain a minimum distance of
about 8 inches (20 cm) between the cell
phone antenna and the pacemaker.
— Do not carry the mobile device in a pocket
directly over the pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
— Switch the mobile device off immediately
if you suspect it may be interfering with
the pacemaker.
— Do not use the voice recognition system*
= page 104 in emergencies because your
voice may change in stressful situations. The
system may take longer to dial the number
or may not be able to dial it at all. Dial the
emergency number manually.
— Switch your mobile device off in areas where
there is a risk of an explosion. These loca-
tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle engine off.
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter > page 92,
Traffic safety information.

device name of the connected primary
phone is shown in the Telephone menu
(such as myPhone).
— If the primary phone does not connect auto-
matically to the MMI when the ignition is
switched on, for example because it is out
of the vehicle range or the Bluetooth func-
tion is switched off, then a previously paired
secondary phone is automatically connected
as the primary phone.
— You can send and receive messages on your
primary phone as well as on your secondary
phone > page 114, fig. 111. You do not
need to switch your primary phone and sec-
