vehicle is in motion will distract you. You may
not notice changing road and / or traffic con-
ditions, which may cause an accident.

(50 km / h), your vehicle is covering a dis-
tance of 44 feet (14 m) every second.
For your safety and the safety of others, pull
over to a safe location and stop before oper-
ating an external audio source.

Operating External Devices
$ Risk of accident
Due to the different volumes of the external
audio sources, system messages of the vehi-
cle may be much louder. You may need to dis-
able these system messages or adjust the
volume of these messages manually.
