Hands-free mode
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.
Voice recognition system (SVS)
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

NOTE: Send SMS text message (Short Message Service). SMS text messages are not displayed on the display in the vehicle. An SMS text message is only received and transmitted by the mobile phone.
