WARNING
External video sources may have different
volumes, which can mean that system
messages such

as traffic announcements and
navigation system announcements are much
louder. If necessary, please deactivate the
system messages or adjust their volume
manually.
i A device which is connected as an
external video source may seem quieter or
louder in the vehicle, or the usual maximum
volume cannot be achieved. On some
devices, it is possible to adjust the volume
separately. In this case, start at a medium
volume and increase it gradually. This
enables you to determine whether the
system is able to play the sound at high
volume without distorting it.

The weather map can display the following
weather data with symbols:
R rain radar
R storm characteristics
R areas of high-pressure/low-pressure,
weather fronts
R course of tropical cyclones (hurricanes,
typhoons)
R wind direction and speeds
i The rain radar cannot be displayed for
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

tropical cyclones that primarily develop in
the Atlantic, North Pacific and South Pacific
oceans. The wind speeds are above
74 mph (118 km/h). Five categories are
used to classify the strength of a hurricane.
Typhoon: term used to describe a tropical
cyclone that develops in the northwestern
Pacific. The wind speeds are in the category
of a hurricane. SIRIUS Weather
