Safety notes
WARNINGAny distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury. Operatingthe radio system could distract you from the traffic.●
Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
●
Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
●
Setting the volume too high may cause damage to your hearing. Thisalso applies if the device is set to high volumes for a short period.
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.
WARNINGThe connection, introduction or removal of data media whilst driving maydistract you from the traffic, causing an accident.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 through the interior of the vehicle during a suddendriving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident and causedamage or injury.

Functional mode description of speed-dependent volume adjustment(GALA)
The GALA function automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speedof the vehicle.
The degree to which the volume increases with speed (GALA) is set on ascale between 1 and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases only slightly as the speed of thevehicle increases. At a high setting the volume increases further. At 0,speed-dependent volume adjustment is switched off.
