Speech quality

If the person you are talking to cannot under-

loud background noises. The full mobile phone
preparation package can compensate for these
noises to a certain degree. To optimize the

speech quality during a call, we recommend
that you:

Reduce background noises, e.g. by closing
the windows, reducing the air volume of the
automatic climate control or pointing the
opened front vent outlets downward

>

Reduce volume of hands-free system
