All communication between a mobile phone and your vehicle's hands-free systemis established with the help of Bluetooth ®
technology.
Phone Phonebook
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 85.
A phone phonebook is part of the hands-free system. This phone phonebook can
be used depending on the type of mobile phone.
After the first connection of the telephone, the system begins to load the phonebook from the phone and the SIM card into the memory of the control unit.
Each time the telephone has established a new connection with the hands-free
system, an update of the relevant phone book is performed. The updating can
take a few minutes. During this time the phone book, which was stored after the last update was completed, is available. Newly stored telephone numbers are on-ly shown after the updating has ended.
The update is interrupted if a telephone event (e.g. incoming or outgoing call,
voice control dialogue) occurs during the updating procedure. After the telephone
event has ended, the updating starts anew.
The internal phonebook provides 2 500 free memory locations. Each contact can contain up to 4 numbers.
If the number of contacts loaded exceeds 2 500, the phone book is not complete.

Dialogue – version 1Fig. 83
Multifunction steering wheel: Voice control
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 90.
The period of time during which the system is ready to receive voice commands and to carry them out is called "dialogue". The system gives audible feedback and
guides you through the relevant functions if necessary.
Optimum understanding of the voice commands depends on several factors.
› Speak at a normal volume without intonation or excessive pauses.
› Avoid poor pronunciation.
› Close the doors, windows and sliding roof in order to reduce or eliminate dis-
turbing noise from outside.
› It is recommended to speak louder at higher speeds, so that your voice is louder
than the increased surrounding noise.
› During the dialogue, limit background noise in the vehicle, e.g. passengers talk-
ing at the same time.
› Do not speak when the system is making an announcement.
The microphone for voice control is housed in the moulded headliner and directed
towards the driver and front passenger. Therefore, the driver and the front pas-
senger can operate the equipment.

On vehicles fitted with the Amundsen+ navigation system, this function can be accessed via the navi-
gation system menu; refer to the » operating instructions for the Amundsen+ navigation system .

Entering a phone number
The telephone number can be entered as a continuous sequence of numbers spo-
ken one after the other (the whole number at once) or in the form of digit blocks
(separated by short pauses). After each string of digits (separated by a brief pause
in speaking), all of the digits detected up to now are repeated by the system.
The digits 0-9 and symbols +, , # are permitted. The system does not recognize
any combination of connected numbers, e.g. "twenty-three".
Switching on voice control
Briefly press the button 1

97WARNING■ When driving, hold the steering wheel with both hands firmly on the outer
edge in the 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock position. Never hold the steering wheel in
the 12 o'clock position or in any other way (e.g. in the middle or inner edge of
the steering wheel). In such cases, you could severely injure the arms, hands
and head when the driver airbag is deployed.■
Never adjust the steering wheel when the vehicle is moving only when the
vehicle is stationary!
WARNING (Continued)■ Adjust the steering wheel so that the distance A » Fig. 88 between the
steering wheel and your chest is at least 25 cm. Not maintaining this minimum
distance will mean that the airbag system will not be able to properly protect
you - hazard!■
If the steering wheel is adjusted further towards the head, the protection
provided by the driver airbag in the event of an accident is reduced. Check
that the steering wheel is aligned to the chest.

›
Push the lever upwards to the stop.
WARNINGThe lever for adjusting the steering wheel must be locked whilst driving so
that the steering wheel cannot accidentally change position during the jour-
ney – risk of accident!

Power steeringFirst read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 96.
The power steering enables you to steer the vehicle with less physical force.
The power steering only works when the engine is running. It is still fully possible to steer the vehicle if the power steering fails or if the en-gine is not running (e.g. when towing). However, greater physical effort is re-
quired to turn the steering wheel.
Starting and stopping the engine
Introduction

Ignition switch

Starting the engine

Switching off the engine
99
The engine can only be started using a correctly coded original key. The engine running noises may louder at first be louder for a short time afterstarting the cold engine. This is quite normal and is not an operating problem.
WARNING■ When driving without the engine running, the ignition key must always be in
the position 2 » Fig. 90 on page 98 (ignition switched on). This position is
indicated by the illumination of certain indicator lights in the instrument clus-
ter. ■ If the key is not in position 2
, this could lead to unexpected the steering
locking - risk of accident!
■
Only pull the ignition key from the ignition lock when the vehicle has come
to a complete stop (by applying the handbrake). Otherwise, the steering could
be blocked – risk of accident!
WARNING (Continued)■ When leaving the vehicle, the ignition must always be removed. This is par-
ticularly important if children are left in the vehicle. Children could otherwise
start the engine for example – risk of accident or injury!■
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running.
■
Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-
dent!
WARNING■ Never leave the engine running in unventilated or closed rooms. The ex-
haust gases from the engine contain substances such as odourless and col-
ourless carbon monoxide (a poisonous gas) – risk to life! ■ Carbon monoxide can cause unconsciousness and death.
CAUTION
■The starter must only be operated when the engine is not running and the vehi-
cle is at a standstill. The starter or engine may be damaged if the starter is activa- ted when the engine is running 3
» Fig. 90 on page 98.
■
Do not tow start the engine – there is a risk of damaging the engine and the
catalytic converter. The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-start
aid » page 189 , Jump-starting .
CAUTION
■
Avoid high engine revolutions, full throttle and high engine loads before the en-
gine has reached its operating temperature – risk of damaging the engine!■
Do not switch the engine off immediately at the end of your journey after the
engine has been operated over a prolonged period at high loads but leave it to
run at an idling speed for about 1 minute. This prevents any possible accumulation
of heat when the engine is switched off.
For the sake of the environment
Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start your
journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this the engine reaches its
operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emissions are lower. 97Starting-off and Driving
Page 101 of 226

NoteAfter switching off the ignition, the radiator fan may intermittently continue to
operate for approx. 10 minutes.
Electronic immobiliser
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 97.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deacti-
vated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock.
The electronic immobiliser is automatically activated when the ignition key is
withdrawn from the lock.
The engine will not start if a non-authorized ignition key is used.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display. Immobilizer active.

If the steering is locked and it is impossible or difficult to turn the key into posi-
tion
2
» Fig. 90 , move the steering wheel back and forth to unlock the steering.
Note
We recommend locking the steering wheel whenever leaving the vehicle. This
acts as a deterrent against the attempted theft of your car.
Starting the engine
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings
on page 97.
Vehicles with a diesel engine are equipped with a glow plug system. The glow
plug warning light
illuminates after the ignition has been switched on. Start
the engine after the warning light
has gone out.
You should not switch on any major electrical components during the heating pe- riod otherwise the vehicle battery will be drained unnecessarily.
Procedure for starting the engine
›
Firmly apply the handbrake.
›
Move the gearshift lever into neutral or move the selector lever into position P
or N.
