WARNING
Using the radio system while the vehicle is in motion can distract you
from the road and lead to accidents.
● Observe legal requirements.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or brak-
ing manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always secure external devices proper-
ly outside the airbag deployment zones.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.

the airbag. If an airbag is activated it can project the device towards the
compartment and injure the vehicle passengers.

while driving. A sharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the com-
partment and injure the vehicle passengers.

tre armrest are also equipped with an additional compartment. The rubber
insert of this compartment can be removed in order to extract small objects
which may have fallen inside.
