Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the
country in which you are currently driving
regarding the use of mobile phones in the
vehicle.
If it is permitted to use mobile phones while
the vehicle is in motion, you should only use
them when the road and traffic conditions
allow. You may otherwise be distracted
from the traffic conditions, cause an acci-
dent and injure yourself and others.

fication on/off
The "cooling with dehumidification" function
is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selec-
ted. This prevents the windows from misting
up. G
Risk of accident
If the "cooling with air dehumidification"
function is deactivated, the air inside the
vehicle will not be cooled (during warm
weather) or dehumidified. The windows
could mist up more quickly. This may pre-
vent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident. H
Environmental note
The cooling system uses the refrigerant
R134A. This refrigerant does not damage
the earth's ozone layer.
i Condensation may drip from the under-
side of the vehicle when Thermatic is in
cooling mode.

The mobile phone is connected to the
hands-free system and to the multi-func-
tion steering wheel.
The battery is charged depending on the
charge status and the position of the key in
the ignition lock. The charging process is
shown in the mobile phone display. i
The system reads the phone book stored
on the SIM card and in the mobile phone
memory. If the same entry is stored in both
of the phone books, both of these entries
will be shown in the multi-function display.
You can make a call using the sand
t buttons on the multi-function steering
wheel. You can control other mobile phone
functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 141).
i When you remove the key from the igni-
tion lock, the mobile phone remains
switched on for approximately ten minutes
(run-on time). If you make a call during this
time, the mobile phone will be switched off
approximately ten minutes after you have
ended the call.
Run-on time:
You can change the run-on time by making
an additional phone book entry on the SIM
card. For the name, enter "Idletime" and for
the number, enter a figure between "1" and
"30" (minutes). If you have not entered a
number or have entered a different num-
ber, the run-on time of ten minutes will still
apply. For information on how to create a phone
book entry, refer to the mobile phone oper-
ating instructions.
Own number sending:
The hands-free system does not recognise
whether own number sending is enabled or
disabled in the mobile phone. The phone
number is therefore always sent by default.
By creating an additional phone book entry
on the SIM card, you can switch the own
number sending function on and off. For
the name, enter "CALLID" and for the num-
ber, enter a "0" or a "1". Entering "0" will
prevent the telephone number from being
sent; entering "1" will allow it to be sent.
For information on how to create a phone
book entry, refer to the mobile phone oper-
ating instructions.Controls
