The navigation data for frequently driven regions is automatically updated in the background.

While and after updating the navigation data, no message appears in the Infotainment system.

If you update the navigation data manually, the USB data carrier must remain permanently connected. You will not

receive a notification when the update is complete.

Do not disconnect the USB data carrier from the Infotainment system for a few days until the navigation data for visited

regions has been fully downloaded and installed. The installation will start automatically in the background during the

journey. Doing so will cancel the update process. If you disconnect the data carrier and visit a new region, the navigation

data is not updated due to the lack of a USB data carrier.

Mobile phone interface

Introduction

Using the phone interface, you can connect your cell phone to the Infotainment system and control the phone functions via the

Infotainment system. The sound is played back via the vehicle speakers. Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can

connect up to two cell phones to the Infotainment system at the same time ⇒ Coupling, connecting and managing.

369

The functions depend on the vehicle equipment, are not available in all countries and depend on the cell phone used and its

operating system.

High speeds, poor weather and road conditions, a lot of background noise, even outside the vehicle, and the network quality

can impair phone calls in the vehicle.

The phone interface may contain an antenna ampliﬁer that improves the reception quality of the cell phone.

You generally only need to pair a device like a cell phone once. The connection of the device with the Infotainment system

via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi can be restored at any time without re-pairing the device.

For a phone call via the hands-free system or at a high volume, a conversation may also be heard by third parties outside

the vehicle.

Locations with special regulations

Switch off the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions. These locations are not always

clearly identiﬁed. These include, for example:

Areas near pipes and tanks containing chemicals

Lower decks in ships and ferries

Areas near vehicles powered by liqueﬁed petroleum gas, such as propane and butane.

Areas with chemicals or particles in the air, such as ﬂour, dust, or metal powder

All other locations where the engine or the cell phone must be switched off.

WARNING

In potentially explosive environments, e.g. in the vicinity of gas stations and at other similar locations with speciﬁc

regulations, ignition sparks caused by electrostatic discharge or cell phones, for example, can cause an explosion or a ﬁre

and lead to serious or fatal injuries.

Switch off the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions, e.g. in the vicinity of

gas stations, and locations with speciﬁc regulations.

Do not use the cell phone and phone interface at locations where there is a risk of explosions, e.g. in the vicinity of

gas stations, and locations with speciﬁc regulations.

NOTICE

Radiation from cell phones that are switched on can interfere with sensitive technical and medical devices, potentially

causing malfunctions or damage to the devices.

Always switch off the cell phone in areas with special regulations relating to or prohibiting the use of cell phones.

Types of phone interface

Depending on the country and vehicle equipment, your vehicle may have the following mobile phone interfaces:

Phone interface basic conﬁguration.

The phone interface uses the Hands-Free Proﬁle (HFP) Bluetooth proﬁle for transmission. This enables the use of phone

functions via the Infotainment system and played back via the vehicle speakers.

Convenience phone interface.

Just like the basic conﬁguration of the phone interface, the Convenience phone interface uses the HFP Bluetooth proﬁle.

370

The Convenience phone interface can be equipped with the wireless charging function ⇒ Charging Options for Mobile

Devices. In order to use the features of the wireless charging function, you need to place a suitable cell phone correctly i

the storage compartment. Depending on the vehicle equipment and cell phone compatibility, the cell phone connects to

the vehicle antenna when you place it in the storage compartment. This improves reception and call quality.

Wireless Charging Function and Connection to the Vehicle Aerial

Depending on the vehicle equipment and model, and also in some countries, a connection to the vehicle aerials is

automatically established on the driver's side for using the wireless charging function by using the storage compartment

⇒ Charging Options for Mobile Devices. This can reduce interfering signals in the cell phone reception, if necessary. If the

reception or the quality of the conversation is not improved or there are still audible interfering signals in the mobile phone

reception, the cell phone must be positioned the other way around, with the screen facing up, in the storage compartment for

the wireless charing function for an improved connection.

Depending on the vehicle equipment and in some countries, the wireless charging function can charge several cell phones

simultaneously. In this case, the connection to the outside antenna can only be established if only the storage compartment o

the driver's side is used.

Coupling, connecting and managing

Please read the introductory information and heed the Warnings and Notice ⇒

To use the phone interface functions, pair a cell phone with the Infotainment system.

and Safety instructions.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, you can connect up to two cell phones to the Infotainment system at the same time.

However, only one device is active at a time and can be used to make calls. The second connected device can receive calls

via the Infotainment system and be used to play media.

The available functions depend on the cell phone used and its operating system.

The following listed functions may not be available in all Infotainment systems in some countries and depending on the vehicle

equipment.

Pairing a cell phone

Before connecting for the ﬁrst time, you need to pair the cell phone with the Infotainment system. A user proﬁle is then

automatically saved in the Infotainment system. The coupling process may take a few minutes.

Requirements:

Bluetooth is activated on the cell phone.

Bluetooth is activated on the Infotainment system.

1. Open the list of available Bluetooth devices on your cell phone and select the device name for the Infotainment system.

2. Pay attention to messages on the cell phone and in the Infotainment system and conﬁrm these if necessary.

If the pairing is successful, the data on the cell phone will be saved in the user proﬁle.

3. Optional: Conﬁrm the message for transferring the data on the cell phone.

WARNING

If you carry out the coupling when driving, this may cause accidents or injuries.

Only carry out the coupling when the vehicle is stationary.

When pairing some cell phones, a PIN may be displayed on the cell phone screen. Type this PIN into the Infotainment

system to finish pairing.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, pairing and connecting is also possible in some vehicles via quick access on the
