Switching between the 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 hands-free system when the motor is running or the igni- tion is switched on. Depending on your mobile phone, the system automatically changes over to the hands-free mode. For mobile phones that do not automatically change over to the hands-free 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.
From hands-free system to mobile phone When you telephone via the hands-free 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. Alternatively, you can deactivate the Bluetooth link, refer to page 180. 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.

Important for voice commands For voice commands, keep the following in mind: > Say the commands, numbers and letters
smoothly and with normal volume, empha- sis and speed.
> Always say commands in the language of
the voice activation system.

Refueling
Switch off the engine before refueling; otherwise no fuel can be filled into the
tank and a message is displayed.<
When handling fuel, always observe all applicable precautionary measures and regulations. Never transport reserve fuel con- tainers in the vehicle. These could become leaky and cause an explosion or a fire in an acci- dent.<

verter will result. Do not use E85, i.e., fuel that consists of 85% ethanol, or Flex Fuel. Otherwise permanent damage to the engine and the fuel supply sys- tem will result.<
Required fuel
Super Premium Gasoline/AKI 91
This gasoline is highly recommended. However, you may also use gasoline with less AKI. The minimum AKI Rating is 87. If you use gasoline with this minimum AKI Rat- ing, the engine may produce knocking sounds when starting at high outside temperatures. This has no affect on the engine life.Do not use gasoline below the specified minimum quality, otherwise engine dam-
age can result.<
Use high-quality brands Field experience has indicated significant dif- ferences in fuel quality: volatility, composition, additives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. Fuels contain- ing up to and including 10% ethanol or other oxygenates with up to 2.8% oxygen by weight, that is, 15% MTBE or 3% methanol plus an equivalent amount of co solvent, will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.
The use of poor-quality fuels may result in drivability, starting and stalling problems especially under certain environmental condi- tions such as high ambient temperature and high altitude. Should you encounter drivability problems which you suspect could be related to the fuel you are using, we recommend that you respond by switching to a recognized high-quality brand such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. Failure to comply with these recommendations may also result in unscheduled maintenance.<

Place the fuel filler cap in the bracket attached to the fuel filler flap. When refueling, insert the filler nozzle com- pletely into the filler pipe. Avoid raising the filler nozzle during refueling; otherwise this leads to > premature pump shutoff > a reduced efficiency of the fuel-vapor
