network provider. You will 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
operation and traffic safety9 Warning
Mobile phones have effects on
your environment. For this reason safety regulations and directions
have been prepared. You should
be familiar with the related
directions before you use the
telephone function.
9 Warning
Use of the hands-free facility while
driving can be dangerous because
your concentration is reduced

code exchange between Bluetooth
device and Infotainment system) and
connecting of the Bluetooth devices
to the Infotainment system are carried
out.

● Only one paired device can be connected to the Infotainment
system at a time.
● Pairing normally only needs to be
carried out once, unless the
device is deleted from the list of
paired devices. If the device has

Emergency call9 Warning
Connection setup cannot be
guaranteed in all situations.For this reason you should not rely
exclusively on a mobile phone
when a vitally important
communication (e.g. a medical
emergency) is concerned.
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 on all mobile phone networks; it is possible that
they cannot be made 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.
