Importing data from external Bluetooth® devices

You can import vCards from external Bluetooth® devices into the address book. Please keep the following in mind: 앫 Bluetooth® is activated in COMAND (컄 page 232) and in the device con- cerned.

앫 The external device must be able to

send vCards by Bluetooth®.

앫 The external device is inside the vehi-

cle, switched on and authorized (컄 page 232).

왘 Importing: Start data transfer on the external device (see operating instruc- tions of the device concerned). If there is no address book entry with the same first name and last name, COMAND imports the data. If there is already an address book en- try with the same first name and last name, a prompt will appear asking whether the existing data should be overwritten.

왘 Select “Yes” or “No”.

The existing address book entry will be overwritten or not, depending on your selection.

Control systems COMAND address book

i There is a detailed description of how to search for an address book entry in the “Search- ing for an address book entry” section (컄 page 217). 왘 After selecting an entry, press n.

COMAND saves the data if there are fewer than four numbers assigned to the selected entry in the selected num- ber category. Otherwise, you will see a prompt asking whether one of the ex- isting numbers should be overwritten.

왘 Select “Yes” or “No”.

If you select “Yes”, a selection list will appear containing the four existing numbers.

왘 Select the number to be overwritten.

COMAND overwrites the selected num- ber with the new data.

Bluetooth® settings

Connecting Bluetooth® devices

i To connect a Bluetooth® device, the Bluetooth® function must be activated in COMAND and in the device concerned. The Bluetooth® device must also be set to “visible” or “findable” in order for COMAND to find and display it. For the setting procedures, please see the operating instructions for the Bluetooth® device.

It is possible to establish a Bluetooth® con- nection between COMAND and the follow- ing types of device: 앫 Mobile phone (only for transferring

business cards)

앫 Headset 앫 Laptop/PDA You can connect up to twelve devices to COMAND but only one device can be ac- tive at a time. The connection process includes search- ing for the device and its subsequent au- thorization.

General information about Bluetooth® Bluetooth® technology is the standard for short-range wireless technologies, suitable for transmitting voice and data. It is possi- ble to connect Bluetooth® devices wire- lessly. Bluetooth® can be used to exchange vCards or make calls using a headset. Bluetooth® technology uses the freely available ISM (Industrial Scientific Medi- cal) wireless network that works at 2.45 GHz. Ranges of up to ten meters are possible with Bluetooth®.

Activate or deactivate Bluetooth® 왘 Select “Vehicle” 씮 “System Settings”

씮 “Services” 씮 “Deactivate Blue- tooth”. You have activated or deactivated Bluetooth®. A checkmark appears when Bluetooth® is deactivated.

When you call up the list for the first time after switching on COMAND, the search for devices in the reception range starts automatically. You will see a display to this effect. The device list appears after a short while. 왘 Canceling search:

Select “Cancel”.

The second time you call up the list, and each time thereafter, the device list ap- pears immediately if COMAND has not been switched off and on again in the meantime. 왘 Starting search manually:

select “Update”.

Control systems COMAND system settings

i If the device list already contains twelve au- thorized devices, you must revoke authorization for one of the authorized devices. Then you must switch this device off and then restart the search. Any new devices for which you would like to search will otherwise not appear in the list.

i On devices which do not have an input key- pad (e.g. headsets), the passkey is predeter- mined. In this case, it is not necessary to enter the number on the device itself. You will usually find the passkey in the operating instructions for the device.

컄컄

The device list can contain the following devices: 앫 All detected devices, whether autho-

rized or not.

앫 All authorized devices, whether detect-

Warning!

The following automatic climate control functions can be operated via COMAND:

Warning!

When operating the automatic climate con- trol, the air that enters the passenger com- partment through the air vents can be very hot or very cold (depending on the set tem- perature). This may cause burns or frostbite to unprotected skin in the immediate area of the air vents.

Always keep sufficient distance between un- protected parts of the body and the air vents. If necessary, use the air distribution adjustment (컄 page 246) to direct the air to air vents in the vehicle interior that are not in the immediate area of unprotected skin.

Follow the recommended settings for heat- ing and cooling given on the following pages and pages in the “Controls in detail” part (컄 page 453) Otherwise the windows could fog up, impairing visibility and endangering you and others.

You can operate the automatic climate control via COMAND or via the buttons on the automatic climate control panel (컄 page 453). Some of the special climate control func- tions can only be set via COMAND.

A driver’s attention to the road and traffic conditions must always be his/her primary focus when driving.

For your safety and the safety of others, se- lecting features through the multifunction steering wheel should only be done by the driver when traffic and road conditions per- mit it to be done safely.

Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximate- ly 14 m) every second.

Warning!

Warning!

Never operate radio transmitters equipped with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e. with- out being connected to an external antenna) from inside the vehicle while the engine is running. Doing so could lead to a malfunc- tion of the vehicle’s electronic system, pos- sibly resulting in an accident and/or personal injury.

Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from using a cellular telephone while driving. Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety reasons, the driver should not use the cellu- lar telephone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop the vehicle in a safe location before placing or answering a call.

If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile phone while driving, please use the hands- free feature and be sure to pay attention to the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo- bile phone only when road, weather and traf- fic conditions permit.
