you with details about the technical possibilities for retrofitting of mobile tele- phones and radio transmitters.
Operation of mobile phones or two-way radio systems may interfere with func- tioning of the electronic systems of your vehicle. The reasons for this may be:
•no external aerial,
•external aerial incorrectly installed,
•transmission power gr eater than 10 watts.
You should therefore not operate a mobile phone or two-way radio system inside the vehicle without the use of an external aerial, or with an external aerial which has been incorrectly installed.
You should also be aware of the fact that only an external aerial makes it possible to achieve the optimal range of such equipment.
WARNING
•If a mobile phone or two-way radio sy stem is operated inside the vehicle without using an external aerial, or with an external aerial which has been incorrectly installed, the result can be excessive electromagnetic fields which may cause harm to your health.
•Please always pay full attention to the traffic situation around you!
•You must not install two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts on the covers of the airbags or within the immediate deployment range of airbags. This might result in injuries to the occupants in the event of an acci-dent!
Note
Please also refer to the operating instru ctions of the mobile phones and two-way radio systems.
Input AUX-IN*
The input for external audio sources AUX-IN is located on the right next to the hand- brake and is marked with . This input serves for connecting external audio sources (e.g. portable mp3 player) to the your radio system. The input AUX-IN* is only available in combination with a radio installed in the factory. The description on how to operate AUX-IN* can be found in the relevant operating instructions of the radio.
Note
If an external audio source is connected via AUX-IN*, which has a separate power supply, this can lead to an interference of the audio signals.
