DVDs with the vehicle at a standstill and
operate the audio system only if permitted
by road, weather and traffic conditions.

(approximately 50 km/h), your car covers a
distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m)
every second.
WarningG
The CD/DVD drive is a Class 1 laser pro-
ducts. There is a danger of invisible laser ra-
diation when you open or damage the cover.
Do not remove the cover. The CD/DVD drive

to play CDs/DVDs which correspond to
the IEC 60908 standard.
If you insert thicker data carriers, e.g.
ones that have data on both sides (one
side with DVD data, the other side with
audio data), they cannot be ejected and
will damage the drive.
