Important notes

What you need to know

Before using your new car audio system,
please read through the following informati-
on carefully.

Traffic safety

Road safety must be your top priority at all
times. Always use your car audio system so
that you remain in complete control of the
traffic situation.
Please keep in mind that you travel 44 feet
in a second when driving at just 30mph.
Should the traffic situation become particu-
larly demanding, we advise you not to use
the audio system.
Always make sure that you are still able to
hear any warning signals coming from out-
side the vehicle, such as police or fire engi-
ne sirens, so that you can react according-
ly.
Consequently, you should always select a
moderate volume for playing your car audio
system while you are driving.
