You can operate a mobile phone or the handset* conveniently via the MMI system. The mobile phone can be connected either to the car telephone kit or the phone pre-installation. The basic operation via the MMI control console is always the same.
Many telephone functions that you are familiar with from your mobile phone are available in your vehicle: You can answer and end calls, place calls on hold and go back and forth between two separate calls (switching calls). In addition, you can access the MMI directory, the phone book on your mobile phone and the phone book on your SIM card.
When you place or receive telephone calls, the audio source is muted automatically and the current media drive is paused
Link . After the call the audio source will return to its previous volume.
You can set the system so that it will switch off the navigation voice guidance during phone calls if desired Link.
Caution!
- You must switch off the telephone system via the MMI menu (Setup Telephone) in areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited. Please observe all relevant caution notices and regulations.
- Switch off the car telephone kit, the handset* and any other mobile phones in all areas where there may be a risk of explosion. Remember that these areas may not always be adequately marked. High-risk areas include filling stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities or transport 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, wood or metal) could accumulate in the air. This warning also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your engine.
Note
The telephone functions will depend on the mobile network service provider and the mobile phone used. For more information, contact your service provider.
