Applies to: vehicles with Integrated Toll Module
Depending on the region, you can pay toll fees in
certain countries using the Integrated Toll Mod-

tegrated in the rearview mirror housing.
To use the ITM in toll zones, you must register
and activate it.

dress and follow the instructions.
Activation
> To activate the ITM, press CD in the MMI.
Entering the number of passengers
Depending on the number of passengers and the
region, a lower toll fee may be charged. You must
either enter the number of passengers or deacti-
vate the ITM based on the laws applicable in the
area where you are driving.
> To enter the number of passengers, select the
appropriate button in the MMI.
> To deactivate the ITM, press C in the MMI.
@) Tips
— The driver is responsible for specifying the
correct number of passengers and activat-
ing or deactivating the ITM.

if both the ITM and transponder are activat-
ed. Deactivate the system not being used or
remove it as necessary.
—Ifa rearview mirror is replaced, you must
register the new ITM and remove the old
ITM from the account.
—The system complies with United States FCC
regulations and ISED regulations
> page 288.
Display

The selected number of passengers is displayed
in the MMI status bar > page 20.
The ii symbol in the status bar and a notifica-
tion in the MMI will indicate if there is a faulty
connection between the ITM and the MMI or if
the ITM is faulty. If the connection interference
continues or the ITM is faulty, drive immediately >
