attention. As the driver, you have complete re-
sponsibility for safety in traffic. Never operate
mobile devices while driving, because this in-
creases the risk of an accident.
— Disconnect the connector from the USB port
carefully to reduce the risk of damaging
them.
—Use a USB extension cable to connect devi-
ces that have an integrated USB connector
(such as a USB stick) to reduce the risk of
damage to your USB device and the USB
port.

can occur inside vehicles can damage mobile
devices and/or impair their performance.

extremely high or low temperatures.

ports will still be supplied with power until
the energy management system switches
them off.
— Do not use additional adapter cables or USB
extension cables to connect mobile devices
to USB ports that already have a cable or
that must be connected with a USB adapter
cable (® page 204, fig. 150). Using an addi-
tional adapter or US extension cable may
impair functionality.

devices that do not conform to the USB 2.0
specification.

supported on Apple devices and MTP devi-
ces (such as smartphones).
