WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens). ●
If you set the volume excessively high you
may suffer damage to your ears. This can also
happen if you are exposed to an excessively
high volume even for a short time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you switch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio source or connecting a new audio
source ››› page 7
. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium while driving can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not obstruct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the
vehicle or not properly secured could be flung
though the interior during a sudden driving
or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an
accident. ●
Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the doors, on the windscreen, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, on the dash panel, on the seat backr-
ests or between these areas and the passen-
gers. These units may cause serious injury in
the event of an accident, especially if the air-
bag is activated. WARNING
The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm movements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion. WARNING
Opening the housing of a CD player can cause
injury due to invisible laser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a special-
ised workshop. WARNING
The recommendations and traffic signs
shown by the navigation system may differ
from the true traffic conditions.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority over the recommendations and in-
structions given by the navigation system.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to visi-
bility, road, traffic and weather conditions. » 3
Audio mode
Media players with the AVRCP Bluetooth pro-
file, the playback of the Bluetooth audio
source can be started and stopped automati-
cally when changing to Bluetooth audio
mode, or to another audio source. In addi-
tion, it is possible to view or change the track
via the infotainment system. Note
Due to the large number of different Blue-
tooth audio sources available, it is not possi-
ble to guarantee fault-free operation of all
functions described here. Note
● Deactivate the service and warning sounds
of a connected Bluetooth audio source (for
example, the key tones of the mobile phone)
to avoid interference noise and anomalies in
the operation.
● Depending on the external player connec-
ted, the response time of the system can
vary.
● To ensure your BT player works correctly,
check the compatibility lists first. Changing tracks in the main menu

Telephone management (PHONE)
WARNING
Making calls and managing the preinstalla-
tion for mobile phones while driving can
distract you from the traffic and cause an ac-
cident.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● In areas with no or poor network coverage,
under certain circumstances in tunnels, ga-
rages and underpasses, telephone conversa-
tions may cut out or it may be impossible to
make calls, even in an emergency. WARNING
A loose or incorrectly secured mobile phone
could be thrown inside the vehicle and cause
injury in the event of sudden manoeuvres,
braking or accidents.
● While driving, the mobile phone must al-
ways be correctly secured, outside of the
working radius of the airbag. WARNING
If you carry a mobile phone that is switched
on directly over a pacemaker, this may cause
interference in its functioning.
● Between the antenna of the mobile phone
and the pacemaker there must be a minimum
distance of 20 centimetres for the mobile phone not to affect the functioning of the
pacemaker.
●
Do not carry your mobile phone in your
breast pocket, directly over the pacemaker,
when it is switched on.
● If you suspect your mobile phone is causing
interference, switch it off immediately. Note
● Telephone conversations inside the vehicle
can be affected by high speed, poor atmos-
pheric conditions and the road surface, as
well as by the quality of the network.
● The instructions that appear on the screen
related to the telephone menu depend on the
mobile device used. There may be differen-
ces.
● Take into account the instruction manuals
of the mobile phone and the supplier of the
accessories, and any instructions for using
the headset.
● In areas with poor coverage there may be
anomalies in the reception and calls may be
interrupted.
● If you detect any strange behaviour be-
tween your mobile phone and the radio, re-
start your mobile by switching it off and on
again.
● Consult the compatibility list to ensure
your mobile phone will work properly.
● Most electronic devices are shielded
against high-frequency radio signals. On cer- tain occasions, nevertheless, electronic
equipment might not be protected against
the radio frequency signals of the telephone
management (Phone). This may produce in-
terference.
Places with special regulations
Switch off the mobile phone and the prein-
stallation for mobile telephones in places
with risk of explosion. These areas are com-
mon but are not always clearly marked
››› in Introduction on page 41
. They include, for
e x
ample:
● Areas with piping and reservoirs containing
chemical products.
● Below deck, on boats and ferries.
● Near vehicles that run on liquefied gas
(such as propane or butane).
● In places where there are chemical sub-
stances or particles such as flour, dust or
metal chips in the air.
● In any other place where you must turn off
the engine of your vehicle. WARNING
Switch off your mobile phone in places with
risk of explosion! Your mobile phone will au-
tomatically connect to the mobile phone net-
work as soon as the Bluetooth connection is
cut from the mobile preinstallation. » 41
