General information
The phone portal provides you with
the possibility of having mobile phone
conversations via a vehicle
microphone and the vehicle
loudspeakers as well as operating the most important mobile phone
functions via the Infotainment system
in the vehicle. To be able to use the
phone portal, the mobile phone must
be connected to the Infotainment system via Bluetooth.
Not all phone functions are supported by every mobile phone. The usable
phone functions depend on the
relevant mobile phone and network
provider. You can find further
information on this in the operating
instructions for your mobile phone, or
you can enquire about them with your network provider.Important information for

In some networks it may be
necessary for a valid SIM card to
be properly inserted in the mobile
phone.
9 Warning
Bear in mind that you can make
and receive calls with the mobile
phone if it is in a service area with a sufficiently strong signal. Under
certain circumstances,
emergency calls cannot be made
in all mobile phone networks;
problems may occur when certain
network services and / or
telephone functions are active.
You can enquire about this with
the local network operators.
The emergency call number can
differ depending on the region and
country. Please enquire
beforehand about the correct
emergency call number for the
relevant region.

depending on the mobile phone and
the amount of data to be transferred.
During this period, operation of the
mobile phone via the Infotainment
system is possible only to a limited extent.

transmission power exceeding 10 W.
Use of a hands-free attachment
without external antenna with mobile
telephone standards GSM
900/1800/1900 and UMTS is only
permitted if the maximum
transmission power of the mobile
telephone is 2 W for GSM 900 or
1 W for the other types.
For reasons of safety, do not use the
