Introduction
This system allows you to connect your mobile phone to the 
vehicle and to use the hands-free mode.
The hands-free device means that the telephone can be used inside the 
vehicle; the driver does not have to remove his/her hands from the steering 
wheel nor is he/she distracted from driving.
Note
•The voice command system is only available in the following languages: 
Spanish, German, English, French, Italian and Czech. Other languages (such 
as Dutch or Portuguese) will have Spanish as the default language for voice 
instructions, and the vehicle must be taken to an Authorised Service Centre 
to change this.
•There are certain versions of mobile telephone software that contain 
errors. These errors may give rise to faulty operation of the vehicle hands-free 
system. In this case, please consult the Authorised Service Centre for your 
mobile telephone.
•Some mobile devices do not respond correctly to keypad orders while in 
hands-free mode. Always use the vehicle controls to interact with the mobile 
telephone.

free system, the numbers stored in the telephone SIM card are downloaded

panel. These numbers may be selected using the multi-function steering

WARNING
•Please concentrate on driving. As the driver, you are responsible for 
your safety and that of others. For this reason, you should only use the 
functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle in 
all situations - otherwise, you may cause an accident!
•The voice command system must not be used in cases of emergency, as 
the voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed or 
delayed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers manually!
Note
•If your mobile phone allows you to store several numbers (home, mobile, 
office..) under the same name or entry, they will all be listed as independent 
entries on the instrument panel screen, but under the same name.
•Depending on the model of mobile phone, these entries will appear under 
the same name but with a different letter or character at the end of the name. 
For example: Antonio W, Antonio H, Antonio M.
