Mobile phone interface27
Mobile phone interfaceIntroductionA mobile phone is connected to the mobile phone interface 
and operated using the multi-function steering wheel* or the 
speech control system.The mobile phone adapter is located either on the centre console or in the 
centre armrest. A special mobile phone adapter is needed in order to connect 
your mobile phone to this interface. Mobile phone adapters are available 
from your Dealer or specialist retailers.
Your mobile phone is operated using the multi-function steering wheel* 
⇒page 39 or the speech control system ⇒ page 31. You can also use the 
talk button  * on the mobile phone adapter to answer and end a call.
W he n yo ur  m obile  ph one  is i n th e m obile p ho ne  adap te r,  call si gna ls  ar e s e nt 
and received via the external car aerial. This ensures good transmission 
quality and keeps the mobile phone battery charged.
The phone's volume can be controlled during a call using the  ⇒page 8 
switch, provided that the mobile phone interface is  factory-fitted.
WARNING
•According to the health authorities, mobile phones may interfere with 
the function of pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm should therefore 
be kept between the mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.
−Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast pocket directly over the 
pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
− If you suspect interference, switch the mobile phone off immedi-
ately.
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the driver, 
you bear the responsibility for road safety. Therefore, you should only use 
the functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle 
in all situations.Caution
•Always obey the laws controlling the use of telephones in vehicles!•Always switch off your mobile phone in areas where using mobile phones 
is prohibited!•Switch off the telephone in all areas where there may be a risk of explo-
sion. Remember that these areas may not always be adequately marked. 
Such places are filling stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities or trans-
port vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking 
propane or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or large quantities of dust 
particles (e.g. from flour or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning 
also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your 
engine.Note
•In order to use the mobile phone functions, your mobile phone must be 
compatible with the mobile phone adapter in the vehicle and the functions 
must be supported by your service provider.•The range of the handset may be affected in isolated areas (such as a 
tunnel or underground garage).•Some places have no range at all. You will not be able to use the tele-
phone in these places.

Phone book
The phone book entries on your SIM card and your mobile 
phone directory are automatically stored in the mobile phone 
interface.Loading the phone book entries
Provided your mobile phone supports this function, the phone book entries 
will be automatically scanned into the memory of the mobile phone adapter 
after you have switched on the ignition and inserted the mobile phone in the 
adapter. It may take several minutes to load the entries, depending on how 
many entries are stored on the mobile phone. The message  Please wait... will 
appear on the instrument panel display during this process.
The last four phone books loaded into the mobile phone adapter remain 
stored there. When you link a fifth mobile phone to the mobile phone 
adapter, the phone book from the mobile phone which has not been used for 
the longest time is deleted from the mobile phone adapter. Up to 500 phone 
book entries per phone book can be stored in the memory.
Using the mobile phone again later
If the SIM card is identical, the phone book entries are already stored in the 
mobile phone adapter. You can use the phone book almost immediately.
The system automatically searches for changes or new entries and stores 
them automatically. This process can take several minutes. If your vehicle is 
equipped with the speech control system*  ⇒page 31, you cannot record any 
spoken names in the phone book for the speech control system while phone 
book entries are being loaded from the mobile phone.
Speech dialogue systemIntroduction
You can use speech commands to operate various functions 
of the telephone.Functions
When used in combination with the hands-free system, you can make calls 
without touching your mobile phone. The speech control system recognises 
commands and digits spoken by different people.
The speech control system allows you to do the following:•Create an acoustic phone book for the speech control system  ⇒page 32•Enter and dial a telephone number  ⇒page 35
Traffic reports are not announced during a running dialogue. The dialogue 
will be ended immediately when an incoming phone call is received. To 
answer the call, press the left thumbwheel on the multi-function steering 
wheel* or the talk button   on the mobile phone adapter.
Unclear speech commands
The system acknowledges your commands with an acoustic signal. If the 
system does not recognise a speech command, it will answer with  Pardon? 
and request you to repeat the command. After a third failed attempt the 
system will answer with  Cancel and the dialogue will be ended.
How to help the system understand you•Speak clearly in a normal volume. Speak louder if you are driving fast.•Speak in a normal tone without long pauses.•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background noise. Make 
sure that passengers are not talking when you say a command.
