some mobile phones: e.g. using the follow-
ing menu items:
> Bluetooth switched on
> Connection must be allowed without
requiring further confirmation
> Reconnection
> Depending on the mobile phone type, the
power-saving mode setting, for example,
may result in a paired mobile phone not
being detected by the vehicle.
> For pairing purposes, define any 4 to 16-
digit number as a Bluetooth passkey,

cle also appears on the mobile phone dis-
play.
