Vehicle features and op‐
tions
This chapter describes all standard, country-
specific and optional features offered with the

necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems.
When using the features and systems described
here, adhere to local regulations.

mands. The system prompts you to make
your entries.
▷ Functions that can only be used when the
vehicle is stationary cannot be operated us‐
ing the voice activation system.
▷ The system uses a special microphone in

Manual to use with the voice activation sys‐
tem.
