Displaying incoming text messages
Using the vehicle aerial
If the function is switched on in the Messages
menu ðpage 192, new messages are displayed
in the MMI’s notification centre.
Depending on the vehicle’s equipment, the mo-
bile network coupling aerial connects your mo-
bile phone to the vehicle’s external aerial. This
reduces the radiation in the vehicle and improves
the reception quality.
Important: The vehicle must be switched on.
