You can use the text message (SMS) function
(receiving and reading) if the mobile phone
supports the MAP (Message AccessProfile)

G
WARNING
The driver must always concentrate on the
road. For your safety and the safety of others,
we recommend that you pull over to a safe
location and stop before placing or taking a
telephone call. If you choose to use the mobile phone while driving, please use the hands-
free device and only use the mobile phone
when weather, road and traffic conditions
permit.
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers
a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) per
second.
G
WARNING
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
constitute a health hazard to yourself and
others.
There is scientific discussion surrounding the
possible health risks posed by
electromagnetic fields. You can reduce this
risk by using an exterior aerial.
Therefore, only use mobile communication
equipment if it is connected to the exterior
aerial of the vehicle. Call disconnection while the vehicle is
in motion
A call may be disconnected if:
R there is insufficient network coverage in
certain areas.
R you move from one transmitter/receiver
area (cell) into another and no channels are
free.
R you use a SIM card which is not compatible
with the network available. Operating options
You can operate the telephone by:

General notesTelephone

This visibility is for restricted periods of
time on some mobile phones.
R Bluetooth ®
device name
Every Bluetooth ®
device has its own
Bluetooth ®
device name. This device name
is freely definable, but can be identical for
all devices from the same manufacturer. It
is therefore recommended that you change
this name so that you can easily recognize
your mobile phone (see the mobile phone
operating instructions).
i Not all mobile phones available on the
market are equally suitable. You can obtain
more detailed information about suitable
mobile phones and about connecting
Bluetooth ®
