Hands-free device Bluetooth
Overview
The concept
Mobile phones can be connected to the vehicle
through Bluetooth.
Bluetooth® is a registered trademark of Blue-
tooth® SIG, Inc.
After being paired once, when the ignition is
switched on, these devices are automatically
detected as soon as they are present in the vehi-
cle and can be controlled via the on-board com-
puter, the buttons on the steering wheel, and by
voice
*.
Up to four mobile phones can be paired.
It may be necessary for some functions to be
activated by the mobile phone provider. Only make entries when traffic conditions
permit. Do not hold the mobile phone in
your hand while you are driving; use the hands-
free system instead. If you do not observe this
precaution, your being distracted can endanger
vehicle occupants and other road users. <
Suitable mobile phones
Precise information as to which mobile phones
and hands-free devices are supported can be
found at www.mini.com/connectivity.

mobile phones support the vehicle functions
