WARNING
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should enter
system settings with the vehicle at a
standstill and operate the system only when
road and traffic conditions permit. Always
pay full attention to traffic conditions
first before operating system controls
while driving.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet
(approximately 14 m) every second. G
WARNING
Always select a volume that allows you to
still
hear ambient sound in your immediate
vicinity (e.g. horns, emergency rescue
vehicles, police vehicles, etc.). You could
otherwise cause an accident. G
WARNING
If you wish to have an audio system other
than an original smart audio system fitted
in your vehicle, please always have the
necessary work performed at an authorized
smart center.
This is particularly important if your
vehicle is fitted with a radio
preinstallation. Improper connection can
result in the failure of important vehicle
functions, thereby endangering the
operating safety of your vehicle and thus
your own safety and that of other people.

description

of the audio systems available

Notes on HVAC

WARNING
Follow the recommended settings for
heating
and cooling given on the following
pages. Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
Air conditioning with climate control* The air conditioning improves the level of
comfort when driving at high outside
temperatures by cooling and
dehumidifying the air.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants, are
filtered out by an integrated particle
filter before outside air enters the
passenger compartment through the air
distribution

system. It also operates when
the air conditioning is switched off and
you have switched on the blower.
The air conditioning only works when the
engine is running and the blower is
switched on. Maximum effectiveness is
achieved if you drive with the windows
closed.
i In warmer weather, ventilate the
passenger compartment for a short
period of time before utilizing the air
conditioning. 102
