Mobile phone system*
Introduction
A mobile phone can be connected to the on-board phone
system and operated via the navigation system, the multi-
function steering wheel*, the telephone speech control
system* or the speech dialogue system*.
The mobile phone adapter is located either on the centre console or in the
centre armrest. A special mobile phone adapter
page 69 is needed in
order to connect your mobile phone to this adapter. Mobile phone adapters
are available from your Dealer or specialist retailers.
You can then operate your mobile phone using the navigation system, the
multi-function steering wheel*
page 12 or the speech dialogue system*
page 86. You can also use the talk button
* on the mobile phone
adapter to answer and end a call.
When your mobile phone is in the mobile phone adapter, call signals are sent
and received via the external car aerial. This ensures good transmission
quality and keeps the mobile phone battery charged.
WARNING
•
According to the health authorities, mobile phones may interfere with
the function of pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm should therefore
be kept between the mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.
−
Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast pocket directly over the
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
−
If you suspect interference, switch the mobile phone off immedi-
ately.
•
Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver,
you bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, you should only use
the functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle
in all situations.
Caution
•
Always obey the laws controlling the use of telephones in vehicles!
•
Always switch off your mobile phone in areas where using mobile phones
is prohibited!
•
Switch off the telephone in all areas where there may be a risk of explo-
sion. Remember that these areas may not always be adequately marked.
Such places are filling stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities or trans-
port vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking
propane or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or large quantities of dust
particles (e.g. from flour or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning
also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your
engine.
Note
•
In order to use the mobile phone functions, your mobile phone must be
compatible with the mobile phone adapter in the vehicle and the functions
must be supported by your service provider.
•
The range of the handset may be affected in isolated areas (such as a
tunnel or underground garage).
•
Some places have no range at all. You will not be able to use the tele-
phone in these places.
