AUX- and MDI inputs
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 126.
The AUX- and MDI inputs are used to connect external audio sources (e.g. iPod or
MP3 player) and to play back music from these devices via the factory-fitted radio
or navigation system.
The AUX-input is located in the storage compartment below the front armrest
and is marked with .

For a description of use, refer to the operating instructions for the relevant radio or navigation system.
127Communication and multimedia

For the sake of the environmentDo not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start your
journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this the engine reaches its operating temperature more rapidly and the pollutant emissions are lower.
Note
After switching off the ignition, the radiator fan may intermittently continue to
operate for approx. 10 minutes.
Electronic immobilizer
First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-ings
on page 131.
An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The immobiliser is deacti-
vated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the ignition lock.
The electronic immobiliser is automatically activated when the ignition key is
withdrawn from the lock.
The engine will not start if a non-authorized ignition key is used.
The following message is shown in the information cluster display.

larly important if children are left in the vehicle. Children could otherwise start
the engine for example – risk of accident or injury!■
Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running.
