General information on infotainment

234* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
The infotainment system consists of radio,
media player, TV* and the facility to communi-
cate with mobile phone*. Information is pre-
sented on a 5 or 7-inch* colour screen in the
upper section of the centre console. Functions
can be controlled via buttons in the steering
wheel, in the centre console under the colour
screen or via a remote control*. A mobile phone
can also be controlled with voice recognition in
certain cases.
If the Infotainment System is active when the
engine is switched off then it is automatically
activated the next time the key is inserted into
key position I or higher, and it continues with
the same source (e.g. radio) as before the
engine was switched off (the driver's door must
be closed on cars with Keyless systems*).
The infotainment system can be used for 15
minutes at a time without the remote control
key being in the ignition switch by pressing the
On/Off button.
When the car is being started the infotainment
system is switched off temporarily and contin-
ues when the engine has started.
NOTE
Remove the remote control key from the
ignition switch if the infotainment system is
used when the engine is switched off. This
is to avoid discharging the battery unnec-
essarily.
