Setting the volume too high may damage your hearing. This also ap-plies if you are exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
WARNINGThe volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source orconnect a new audio source.●
Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connectinga new audio source ⇒ page 8.
WARNINGConnecting, inserting or removing a data medium while the vehicle is inmotion can distract you from the road and lead to accidents.WARNINGConnecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.●
Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.WARNINGExternal devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-cured could be flung though the interior and cause injuries during a sud-den driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
