Adjusting sound settings
60DSP ("Digital Signal Processing")GALA  are the German initials for the speed-dependent 
volume adjustment function.– Press the control button for the  Sound function from an audio or 
SETUP menu or
– Select DSP  ⇒ page 59, fig. 74 .
– Select GALA  ⇒ fig. 76.
– Select on of the five  levels ⇒ fig. 76  or
– Select off . The function will be switched off.The GALA  function boosts the volume level accordingly as the vehicle's speed 
increases to drown out background noise.
If you select  level 1, the volume will only be boosted slightly as speed 
increases. If you select  level 5, the volume will be boosted more strongly as 
speed increases.
Dynamic noise compensation*Dynamic noise compensation automatically adjusts the music volume so that 
the music is not drowned out by background noise. The volume will seem to 
maintain its normal decibel strength.
The dynamic noise compensation function responds to both continuous and 
transient background noise.
How does the dynamic noise compensation work?
A microphone in the interior registers the music volume and the volume of 
background noise. The background noise is then digitally analysed and proc-
essed by the system. At the same time, the sound system boosts the play-
back volume accordingly in the affected frequency range so that the music 
can still be heard clearly.
Note
Any malfunction of the AudioPilot system is indicated by a triple warning 
gong which sounds when the navigation system is switched on. If this should 
happen, please have the AudioPilot system checked by a qualified 
workshop.

Mobile phone system*
68Mobile phone system*IntroductionA mobile phone can be connected to the on-board phone 
system and operated via the navigation system, the multi-
function steering wheel*, the telephone speech control 
system* or the speech dialogue system*.The mobile phone adapter is located either on the centre console or in the 
centre armrest. A special mobile phone adapter  ⇒page 69 is needed in 
order to connect your mobile phone to this adapter. Mobile phone adapters 
are available from your Dealer or specialist retailers.
You can then operate your mobile phone using the navigation system, the 
multi-function steering wheel*  ⇒page 12 or the speech dialogue system* 
⇒ page 86. You can also use the talk button  * on the mobile phone 
adapter to answer and end a call.
When your mobile phone is in the mobile phone adapter, call signals are sent 
and received via the external car aerial. This ensures good transmission 
quality and keeps the mobile phone battery charged.
WARNING
•According to the health authorities, mobile phones may interfere with 
the function of pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm should therefore 
be kept between the mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.
−Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast pocket directly over the 
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
− If you suspect interference, switch the mobile phone off immedi-
ately.
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver, 
you bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, you should only use 
the functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle 
in all situations.Caution

is prohibited!•Switch off the telephone in all areas where there may be a risk of explo-
sion. Remember that these areas may not always be adequately marked. 
Such places are filling stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities or trans-
port vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking 
propane or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or large quantities of dust 
particles (e.g. from flour or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning 
also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your 
engine.Note
•In order to use the mobile phone functions, your mobile phone must be 
compatible with the mobile phone adapter in the vehicle and the functions 
must be supported by your service provider.•The range of the handset may be affected in isolated areas (such as a 
tunnel or underground garage).•Some places have no range at all. You will not be able to use the tele-
phone in these places.
