  The automatic service request is made when the service interval indicator changes from green to yellow. A manual service request can be made at any time on the CID (Central Information Display). The service provider is informed about an inspection being due and receives information about any wear or faults. The following vehicle data are transmitted to the service provider by SMS text message:

  1. Vehicle identification number
  2. Service Call identifier
  3. Model code
  4. Mileage reading
  5. Registration date
  6. Date and time
  7. Color code
  8. Battery voltage

  10. Coolant temperature
  11. Condition Based Service (e.g. maintenance requirements of brakes, engine oil, etc.)

In some countries, it is against the law for the driver to use a hand-held mobile phone while he is driving. It is however permissible to make a call in hands-free mode.

When a call is accepted using the transmit/receive button on the MFL (multi-function steering wheel), the telephone switches to hands-free mode. The call is then conducted with full duplex transmission (simultaneous speaking and hearing) via the hands-free microphone and the loudspeakers in the vehicle.

The voice recognition system (SVS) integrated in the TCU is used to operate the mobile phone with voice commands. The following inputs are possible using voice commands:

• Call up and dial name from telephone directory
• Enter and dial phone number
