Information on detecting damage on a
parked vehicle
& WARNING Risk of distraction from oper‐
ating integrated communication equip‐
ment while the vehicle is in motion
If you operate communication equipment
integrated in the vehicle when driving, you
will be distracted from the traffic situation.
This could also cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
Only operate this equipment when the
#
traffic situation permits.
If you cannot be sure of this, stop the
#
vehicle whilst paying attention to road
and traffic conditions and operate the
equipment with the vehicle stationary.
If a collision is detected when the tow-away pro‐
tection is primed on a locked vehicle, you will
receive a notification in the multimedia system
when you switch on the ignition.
