tion package mobile phone can compensate for

tem.

From mobile phone to hands-free 
system*
You can continue calls begun outside the Blue-
tooth range of the vehicle via the handsfree sys-
tem when the engine is running or the ignition is 
switched on. Depending on your mobile phone, the system automatically switches over to the 
handsfree mode.

switch over to the handsfree mode:
Depending on the mobile phone model used, 
the conversation can be continued via the 
hands-free system if necessary. Refer to the 
display on your mobile phone and/or your 
mobile phone's operating instructions.

phone

you can also continue the call via the mobile 
phone if necessary, depending on the mobile 
phone model. Act according to what is shown 
on the mobile phone display, refer to the oper-
ating instructions of your mobile phone.

work can result in the system changing from the 
hands-free system to the mobile phone.
