Open or Closed, the Motorola V60 Communicates
The Motorola V60 phone also features a useful dual display when used outside the vehicle. When the phone is closed, an exterior display shows network dependent features, such as caller ID, text messages, or date and time. When the phone is open, a large interior display shows all standard functions, including the personal calendar and address book.

Feature-Rich Convenience in the Car
When docked under the center armrest, the new Motorola V60 phone automatically downloads its phonebook contents to the vehicle. With this level of integration, the phonebook contents and last dialed or received calls are viewable on the vehicle's dash. Additionally, the system automatically mutes the radio or pauses the cassette or CD player whenever calls are received or placed, and drivers can send and receive calls through integrated steering wheel controls or via a keypad on the audio system.

Hands-Free With High-Tech Voice Recognition
To help keep drivers' hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road, the Motorola V60 integrated hands-free phone system also offers voice recognition that enables drivers to use simple verbal commands to place calls. Sophisticated voice recognition software allows drivers to access speed-dial numbers from their phonebook or dial new numbers, all verbally.

"Mercedes-Benz prides itself on consistently delivering the highest level of safety and sophistication in our vehicles," said Dave Schembri, vice president of marketing for Mercedes-Benz USA. "Starting with the innovation and convenience of hands-free operation while driving the vehicle, the feature-rich technology of the Motorola V60 integrated hands-free phone system provides our customers with a new level of staying in touch."
