6Operation whilst the vehicle is in motion Travelling on today's roads requires the driver's full attention at all times.
WARNING
It is fundamental that you are suffic iently alert while driving. Any distrac-
tion may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•
Never lose sight of the road while using the equipment.
•
Use the equipment only when the state of the road, the weather and
traffic conditions permit.
•
When adjusting the volume, keep in mind that signals from outside the
vehicle, such as a police or fire brigade horn, must be audible at all times.Note
Depending on the country, some functions of the radio and navigation
system may not be available on the screen above a certain speed. This is not
an error, but rather compliance with the legal requirements of the country.Switching on or off– Briefly press the on/off switch ⇒page 3, fig. 1 to switch on
the unit. The system will initialise and the latest settings will
load. The most recently used audio source is activated.
– To turn off the equipment, briefly press the on/off button again.
When the unit is switched on, the last audio source used is activated at the
most recent volume setting, provided th is does not exceed the pre-selected
“ switch-on volume ” ⇒ page 12.
Switch-off delay
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the unit is switched off. You
can then switch the unit on again. The equipment automatically switches off
after 30 minutes, so as to not drain the vehicle's battery.
Convenience radio coding
If the equipment has been removed and then reinstalled in the vehicle, or if
the battery has been disconnected, it is no longer necessary to manually
deactivate the antitheft codification, since the code remains in the vehicle
memory after entering it the first time.
If the code numbers do not match, however, e.g. because the unit has been
installed in another vehicle, the electron ic lock must be released manually
⇒ page 88, “Entering the PIN”.

If the vehicle is equipped with a Rear Seat Entertainment system, audio
from a portable multi-media device connected to the AUX RSE socket can be
played through the radio-navigation system. To play audio from a device
connected to this socket, enable the "AUX2 Input" option in the Media
Settings menu (MEDIA →SETUP) . Make sure no other multi-media device or
audio cable is connected to the MEDIA-IN interface, as these take playback
priority over the AUX2 input. Refer to the Rear Seat Entertainment system
manual for further information.
WARNING
The risk of injury during a sudden braking manoeuvre or in an accident is
increased if the glove compartment cover or armrest is open.•
Always keep the glove compartment and armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion.WARNING
Loose objects inside the vehicle may obst ruct the driver and lead to serious
injuries.•
The external audio data medium must never be placed on the instru-
ment panel. A sudden driving manoeuvre could cause the device to be flung
through the vehicle interior and injure occupants.
•
The external audio source must never be placed close to an airbag. If an
airbag is triggered, the device could be flung towards the compartment and
injure the vehicle passengers.
•
Occupants must not have the data medium in their hands or placed on
their legs while the vehicle is in motion. A sudden driving manoeuvre could
cause the device to be flung through the vehicle interior and injure occu-
pants.
•
The wires connecting the external data medium must be arranged so
they do not obstruct you when driving.
Note
•
Only audio files readable through th e MEDIA-IN socket will be displayed
and played. Where a medium connected contains damaged files or files in
unreadable formats, these will not be displayed.
•
USB connection takes priority over the MEDIA-IN interface AUX socket.
Either of these, or an iPod adapter where applicable, takes priority over the
AUX RSE socket. Therefore, to play audio from a medium connected to the
AUX RSE socket, make sure there is no device or cable connected to the
MEDIA-IN interface.
•
You can disconnect the connection with the external medium whenever
required without losing data, independent to the indications of the external
data media.
External data media requirements •
The unit only supports external data media and USB mass storage devices
that comply with the USB 2.0 specifications.
•
External data media must use a FAT file system, either FAT16 (< 2 GB) or
FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table)
•
In the case of MTP players (Media Transfer Protocol), which have the
“PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista” logo, factors such as the battery status
and the quantity of data may affect the way these devices respond to commu-
nication via the MEDIA-IN multi-media in terface. It may take several minutes
before the MTP player is ready to play.
•
When playing files from large hard drive memories with many files and
complex file structures (a large numbe r of folders and subfolders, non-play-
able files, etc.), there may be delays in the reading of audio files. The
connected device may also affect the unit's response time.
•
The folder structure on the external data medium should not have more
than eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1000 items.
