Settings
When the vehicle is unlocked with a vehicle key,
the assigned driver profile is activated. All the
settings saved in the driver profile are applied au‐
tomatically.
Settings for the following systems and functions
are saved to the current driver profile. Which set‐
tings can be saved depends on the country and
equipment.
If several drivers each use their own vehicle key,

Frequently Asked Questions
For the mobile device to work correctly, the pre‐
conditions have to be met and all the necessary
steps have to be carried out in the correct order.
Even when this is done, however, there may still
be instances where the mobile device does not
function as expected.
▷ Under certain circumstances only the phone
book entries saved in the mobile telephone or
on the SIM card are transferred.
▷ It may not be possible to display phone book
entries containing special characters.
▷ It may not be possible to transfer contacts
from social networks.
In such cases, the following explanations may
provide assistance:
▷ The number of phone book entries to be
saved is too high.
Why could the mobile telephone not be paired or
connected?
▷ The data volume of the contact is too large,
for example due to saved information such as
memos.
▷ Too many Bluetooth devices are paired to
the mobile telephone or the vehicle.

Connections
OVERVIEW
Reduce the data volume of the contact.
▷ Playback of video films via USB video.
▷ Installing of software updates, see page 66.
When connecting, bear the following in mind:
▷ A mobile telephone can only be connected as
an audio source or as a telephone.
Configure the mobile telephone and connect
it with the telephone or additional telephone
function.
▷ Do not use force when inserting the connec‐
tor into the USB port.
▷ Use a flexible adapter cable.
How can the telephone connection quality be
improved?
▷ Protect the USB device from mechanical
damage.
▷ Adjust the strength of the Bluetooth signal on
the mobile telephone; the procedure varies
from mobile telephone to mobile telephone.
▷ Due to the large variety of USB devices avail‐
able on the market, operation via the vehicle
cannot be ensured for every device.
▷ Insert the mobile telephone in the wireless
charging dock.
▷ Do not expose the USB devices to extreme
environmental conditions, for example very
high temperatures; see the operating instruc‐
tions of the device.
▷ Adjust the volume of the microphone and
loudspeakers separately in the sound set‐
tings.
▷ Due to the large variety of different compres‐
sion techniques, correct playback of the me‐
dia stored on the USB device cannot be
guaranteed in every case.
If all the points on the list have been reviewed
and the desired function cannot be performed,
contact the Hotline, a Service Partner of the
manufacturer or another qualified Service Partner
or a specialist workshop.
▷ To ensure correct transmission of the stored
data, do not charge a USB device from the
12 V power socket in the vehicle when the
device is also connected to the USB port.
