Important information concerning the handling of your radio equipmentUse when driving
Travelling on today's roads requires th e driver's full attention at all times.
Modern radios offer many sophisticated  features providing a variety of forms 
of entertainment and a range of inform ation on traffic and road conditions 
etc.

tions really allow it.
For example, changing CDs or reading CD labels while driving has frequently 
led to dangerous situations.
The radio volume should be set so that acoustic signals from outside can also 
be heard at all times.
WARNING
Please keep your attention on driving as a priority!Soft-Clipping FunctionThe radio has an automatic volume reduction system to avoid distortion and 
possible damage to the radio and speakers.
