Changing between mobile

phone and hands-free system

From mobile phone to hands-free

system*

You can continue calls begun outside the Blue-
tooth range of the vehicle via the handsfree sys-
tem when the engine is running or the ignition is
switched on. Depending on your mobile phone,
the system automatically switches over to the
handsfree mode.
For mobile phones that do not automatically
switch over to the handsfree mode:

>

Depending on the mobile phone model
used, the conversation can be continued via
the hands-free system if necessary. Act
according to what is shown on the mobile
phone display, refer to the operating
instructions of your mobile phone.

>

Press the

button above the storage

compartment. Switching over may take
several seconds.

From handsfree system to mobile
phone

When you telephone via the handsfree system,
you can also continue the call via the mobile
phone if necessary, depending on the mobile
phone model. Act according to what is shown
on the mobile phone display, refer to the oper-
ating instructions of your mobile phone.
As an alternative, you can deactivate the Blue-
tooth link.
Depending on your mobile phone model, poor
reception of the wireless communications net-
work can result in the system changing from the
hands-free system to the mobile phone.

Operation by voice*

The concept

You can operate your mobile phone without
having to remove your hands from the steering
wheel. When making your entries, you will be

supported by announcements or questions in
many cases.
The same prerequisites as for operation via
iDrive apply, refer to page
