Switching between mobile
phone and hands-free system
From mobile phone to hands-free
system*
You can continue ongoing calls outside of the
vehicle's Bluetooth range via the hands-free
system as long as the engine is running or the
ignition is switched on. Depending on your
mobile phone, the sy stem automatically
switches to hands-free mode.
With mobile phones that do not automatically
switch to hands-free mode:

versation via the hands-free system. Refer to
the display on your mobile phone and/or your

From hands-free system to mobile
phone

tem, it may be possible to continue the call via
the mobile phone, depending on your mobile
phone model. Refer to the display on your
mobile phone and/or your mobile phone's oper-
ating instructions.
Alternatively, you
can deactivate the
Bluetooth link.

using, it may occur that calls are switched from
the hands-free system to the mobile phone if
reception of the wireless network is poor.
