Safety warnings regarding the Info-
tainment system
Only operate the infotainment system and its
various functions when the traffic situation
really permits this.
WARNING
Before starting the trip, you should famili-
●
arise yourself with the different infotain-
ment system functions.
High audio volume may represent a dan-
●
ger to you and to others. Hearing may be
impaired if the volume is too high, even for
short periods of time.
Changes to the Infotainment system set-
●
tings should be made when the car is stop-
ped, or by a passenger.
WARNING
Current traffic requires maximum attention
from public road users. Distracting the driv-
er in any way can lead to an accident and
cause injuries. Operating the Infotainment
Introduction
system can distract your attention from the
traffic.
Always drive carefully and responsibly.
●
Select volume settings that allow you to
●
hear sounds from outside the vehicle at all
times (e.g. emergency services sirens and
horns).
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change
when you switch audio source or connect a
new audio source.
Lower the basic volume before connect-
●
ing or switching audio sources.
WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic
indications shown on the navigation system
may differ from the current traffic situation.
Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
●
priority over the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the navigation system.
WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data
medium while driving can distract your at-
tention from the traffic and cause an acci-
dent.
WARNING
Place the connecting cables of external
equipment so that they do not interfere
with the driver's mobility.
WARNING
External devices that are loose or not prop-
erly secured could move around the pas-
senger compartment during a sharp ma-
noeuvre or accident.
Avoid placing external devices on the
●
doors, windscreen, steering wheel, instru-
ment panel, the backs of the seats, on top
of or near the area marked "AIRBAG" or be-
tween these areas and the occupants.
They could cause serious injury in an acci-
dent, especially when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
The armrest* must always remain closed
during the journey as it could restrict the
driver's movements.
CAUTION
The Infotainment system can be damaged
by the incorrect insertion of a data storage
device or the insertion of an incompatible
data storage device.
When inserting a data storage device,
●
make sure it is correctly positioned.
