Introduction

You can connect your mobile telephone to the Infotainment system via the mobile phone interface and then use the

Infotainment system to control the telephone functions. The audio is relayed via the vehicle loudspeakers. Depending

on equipment, you can connect up to two mobile telephones to the Infotainment system simultaneously (→ Mobile

phone interface).

The functions described below are dependent on the equipment, may not be available in all countries and also depend

on the mobile telephone and operating system being used.

High speeds, poor weather and poor road conditions, loud noise levels, also outside the vehicle, and network quality

may impair telephone calls in the vehicle.

The mobile phone interface may contain an aerial amplifier which improves the reception quality of the mobile

telephone.

As a general rule, it is only necessary to pair a device, e.g. mobile telephone, once. The device connection with

the Infotainment system via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi

can be restored at any time without having to pair the device again.

When a telephone call is made using the hands-free system or at a loud volume, a conversation can also be

heard by third parties outside the vehicle.

Areas where special regulations apply

Switch off the mobile telephone and mobile phone interface in areas where there is an explosion hazard. These areas

are not always clearly signposted. This includes, for example:

—Areas immediately around chemical pipelines and tanks.

—Lower decks of ships and ferries.

—The area around vehicles that run on liquefied petroleum gas, e.g. propane or butane.

—Places where there are chemicals or particles such as flour, dust and metal powder in the air.

—All other places where the engine or mobile telephone must be switched off.

WARNING

Switch off the mobile telephone and mobile phone interface in areas where there is a risk of explosion and in areas

where special regulations apply!

NOTICE

Your mobile telephone must always be switched off in areas where special regulations apply and when the use of

mobile telephones is forbidden. The radiation produced by the mobile telephone when switched on may interfere

with sensitive technical and medical equipment, possibly resulting in malfunction or damage to the equipment.

) for transmission. It enables the use of telephone functions via the Infotainment System and playback via the

vehicle loudspeakers.

—Comfort mobile phone interface.

Bluetooth profile.

The Comfort mobile phone interface may be equipped with a wireless charging function (→ Wireless charging

function). In order to use the wireless charging function, you must place a suitable mobile telephone correctly in

the stowage compartment. If you place a suitable mobile phone in the stowage compartment, depending on the

equipment, the mobile phone is connected to the vehicle aerial. This improves the reception and call quality.
