Controls and equipmentCommunicationIntroductionThis system allows you to connect your mobile phone to the 
vehicle and to use the hands-free mode.The hands-free device means that the telephone can be used inside the 
vehicle; the driver will not have to remove their hands from the steering wheel 
nor will be distracted from traffic.
Note
•The voice command system is only available in the following languages: 
Spanish, German, English, French, Italian and Czech. Other languages (such 
as Dutch or Portuguese) will have Spanish as the default language for voice 
instructions, and the vehicle must be taken to an Authorised Service Centre 
for the change to be made.•There are certain versions of mobile telephone software that contain 
errors. These errors may give rise to faulty operation of the vehicle hands-free 
system. In this case, consult the Authorised Service Centre for your mobile 
telephone.•Some mobile devices do not respond correctly to the orders of the keypad 
in hands-free mode. Always use the vehicle controls to interact with the 
mobile phone.

WARNING
•Please concentrate on driving. As the driver, you have the responsibility 
for your safety and that of others. For this reason, you should only use the 
functions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle in 
all situations - otherwise, you may create an accident risk!•The speech system must not be used in cases of emergency, since the 
voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed or delayed 
telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers manually!Note
•If your mobile phone allows you to store several numbers (home, mobile, 
office..) under the same name or entry, they will all be listed as independent 
entries on the instrument panel screen, but under the same name.•Depending on the mobile phone model, these entries will appear under 
the same name with one different letter or character at the end. For example: 
Antonio W, Antonio H, Antonio M.
Using the hands-free system from the steering wheel 
The hands-free system can be used from the steering wheel.As well as using the voice command system, it is possible to use the functions 
of the hands-free system from the controls on the steering wheel and the 
radio.
When connection is established between your mobile telephone and the 
hands-free device, the phonebook in your telephone and/or your SIM card 
(depending on the phone) is downloaded to the hands-free device.
The phonebook may take up to four minutes to fully download to the commu-
nication system the first time the system is used. The download process is 
indicated on the dash panel display.
Depending on the version, when the connection is established between your 
mobile telephone and the hands-free device, the phonebook in the tele-
phone is downloaded to the hands-free device as well as lost calls, received 
calls and last calls. From this moment, the phone book of the telephone as

of different functions in case the user is hesitant and unsure how to proceed.

Assistance from control commands when orders are not recognized.
If a command is not recognised by the system, it will answer with the cue 
third failure the system will answer with  
ended.
Note the following to ensure that you are properly understood:
•Speak in a normal tone and without pauses or exaggerated pronuncia-
tion.•Avoid poor articulation of words.•Keep the doors, windows and sun roof closed if possible to avoid back-
ground noises that might affect the system.•Keep the air vents directed away from the microphone (located on the 
interior light).•At high speeds, you might need to speak louder to drown out background 
noises.•Avoid other noises in the vehicle during a dialogue (e.g. other passengers 
speaking in the vehicle).•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.•The hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver, therefore, only 
the driver should try to operate the system.•To make a call when there is heavy background noise we recommend 
using the speech controlled telephone book instead of speaking individual 
digits. This will help avoid mistakes when specifying telephone numbers.
Micro off
If, at any time, you do not want to be heard by the person on the other end of 
the line during a call, the vehicle microphone can be temporarily disabled
