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.

the function of pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm should therefore 
be kept between the mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.

ately.

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.
