distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!
x Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the Infotainment System,
when using your cell phone, or when operating the cell phone controls.
x Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your cell phone,
and the cell phone controls only if road, traffic, and weather conditions permit and you will
not be distracted from your driving.
x If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your cell phone, or the cell phone controls
safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where you can pull off the road and
park the vehicle.
x Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and other
warning sounds outside the vehicle.
x Setting the sound volume too high may damage your hearing. This applies even if you are
exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
.WARNING
The volume level may suddenly get louder change when you switch media source or connect
a new audio source.
x Always lower the base volume before switching media source or connecting a new audio

Requirements for using external data media via the MEDIA-IN multimedia jack .
Restrictions and notes
Windows Media Audio 9 Voice, Lossless and Professional as well as DRM-protected files are not
supported. Other data media with copy protection and multi-session CDs and DVDs can sometimes
not be played back or only with limitations.
Dirt, high temperatures and mechanical damage can render a data medium unusable. Please observe
data medium manufacturer information.
Quality differences between data media of different manufacturers can cause problems during
playback.
The data medium configuration or the devices or programs used for recording can cause individual
tracks or data medium to be unreadable. Information can be found on the Internet on the best ways to
create audio files, video files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium containing compressed audio
files (such as MP3, WMA) than a “normal” audio CD. Complex directory structures can also the delay
the reading process. If possible, only use data media with readable audio and video files.
Play lists only define a certain playback sequence. Play lists do not save any files. Play lists cannot
be played if the files on the data medium are not saved in the location to which the play list is referring
(relative data path). Play lists cannot be copied to the media center (HDD).
.NOTICE
Do not use memory CARd adapters.
.No liability can be accepted for damaged or lost files on the data media.

.NOTICE
Only insert or remove CDs or DVDs if the LEDs on the DVD slot are flashing green.
.NOTICE
Before closing the side compartment in the luggage compartment, check whether the CD or
DVD has been drawn in or removed completely. The DVD changer or the data medium might
otherwise be damaged.
.Playlists in the format cannot be played in the external DVD changer.
