Seek advice on predetermined
installation points for the external
antenna or equipment holder and
ways of using devices with
a transmission power exceeding 10
watts.
Use of a handsfree 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 watts for GSM 900 or
1 watt for the other types.
For reasons of safety, do not use the
phone while driving. Even use of
a handsfree set can be a distraction
while driving. 9
Warning Operate radio equipment and
mobile telephones which fail to
meet above mentioned mobile
telephone
standards only using an
antenna located outside of the
vehicle. Caution
Mobile telephones and radio
equipment may lead to
malfunctions in the vehicle

ventilation system, the air
conditioning system has:
n
= Cooling
4 = Air recirculation Cooling n
Operated with the n button and is
functional only when the engine and
fan are running.
The air condition system cools and
dehumidifies (dries) when outside
temperature
is above a specific level.
Therefore condensation may form
and drip from under the vehicle.
If no cooling or drying is required,
switch the cooling system off to save
fuel.
Air recirculation system 4
The air recirculation mode is operated
with the 4 button. 9
Warning The exchange of fresh air is
reduced in air recirculation mode.
In

operation without cooling the air
humidity increases, so the
windows may mist up. The quality
of the passenger compartment air
deteriorates, which may cause the
vehicle occupants to feel drowsy. Air distribution to
l: Air recirculation
is deactivated.
Maximum cooling
Briefly open the windows so that hot
air can disperse quickly.
