Introduction
Before using the unit for the first time
Before using the unit for the first time, carry out the following steps. This
will enable you to use the unit safely and make full use of the functions it
provides:

Familiarise yourself with the unit overview.⇒ page 8.
Use suitable data media for Media mode.⇒ page 23.
Safety notes
WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to an accident and cause inju-
ries. Operating the infotainment system while driving can distract your
attention from the traffic.
● 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).
● If you set the volume excessively high you may suffer damage to your
ears. This can also happen if you are exposed to an excessively high vol-
ume even for a short time.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting
a new audio source ⇒ page 10.
WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data medium while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic and cause an accident.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.
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.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units on the doors, on the wind-
screen, on or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, on
the dash panel, on the seat backrests or between these areas and the
passengers. These units may cause serious injury in the event of an acci-
dent, especially if the airbag is activated.
