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:
Observe the basic safety notes .⇒ page 6.
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. 

General operating information
Introduction
Depending on the vehicle you can also change the track or station and ad-
just the volume using the multifunction steering wheel ⇒ Booklet Instruc-
tion manual, chapter Overview of the vehicle.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 6
● Unit overview ⇒ page 8
Additional display information
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning set-
tings or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be tem-
porarily displayed on the screen. These displays disappear automatically
when they are no longer required.
Note
● Only a small amount of pressure is needed to operate the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions may not be availa-
ble when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.
● Using a mobile phone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle
speakers.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the
volume of the current audio source is automatically lowered when reverse
gear is engaged. Rotary/push knobs, unit and function buttons
Overview
●
Rotary/push knobs.
● Labelled unit buttons (hard keys).
● Function buttons (soft keys).
Rotary/push knobs
The left-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ fig. 1 1
is referred to as the volume con-
trol  or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ fig. 1 8
is referred to as the setting
knob.
Unit buttons and function buttons
The system labelled buttons are called “unit buttons”, e.g. SOUND
button
⇒ fig. 1.
There are six unlabelled unit buttons below the screen ⇒ fig. 1 7
. These
are known as “function buttons” because their function depends on the ac-
tive function mode.
The current function of a function button is displayed just above the button
in the bottom line of the screen (e.g. ⇒ fig. 6). 
Switching on and off
● To switch the unit on or off manually, briefly press the rotary/push knob
 ⇒  fig. 1.
When the unit is switched on the system starts up. The last audio source
used is played at the last selected volume setting, provided this does not
exceed the preselected “switch-on volume” (ON-VOL or START-VOL
⇒ page 40). 

Introduction
Depending on the unit and country in question, the unit is switched off
when the engine is turned off or the key is removed. If the unit is switched
on again, it will switch off automatically after approximately 30 minutes (de-
layed switch-off).
Energy management
If, when the ignition is switched off and the unit switched on, the battery
voltage falls below the minimum onboard power supply voltage, a signal
sounds and LOW BATTERY appears. You should switch the unit off.
If the battery voltage level continues to fall, LOW BATTERY and RADIO OFF are
briefly shown on the display. The unit will switch off automatically. 

stantially, lower the volume before changing to another audio source. 
