General information on operating the unit
Introduction
Depending on the vehicle you can also change the track or station and ad-
just the volume using the multifunction steering wheel ⇒ Booklet Instruc-
tion manual, chapter Overview of the vehicle.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes ⇒ page 4
● Unit overview ⇒ page 6
Additional display information
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning set-
tings or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be dis-
played temporarily on the screen. These displays disappear automatically
when they are no longer required.
Note
● Only a small amount of pressure is needed to operate the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.
● Using a mobile phone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle
speakers.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the
volume of the current audio source is automatically lowered when reverse
gear is engaged. Rotary/push knobs, unit and function buttons
Overview
●
Rotary/push knobs.
● Labelled unit buttons (hard keys).
● Function buttons (soft keys).
Rotary/push knobs
The left-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ Fig. 1 1
is referred to as the volume con-
trol or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ Fig. 1 8
is referred to as the setting
knob.
Unit buttons and function buttons
The system labelled buttons are called “unit buttons”, e.g. SOUND
button
⇒ Fig. 1.
There are six unlabelled unit buttons below the screen ⇒ Fig. 1 7
. These
are known as “function buttons” because their function depends on the ac-
tive function mode.
The current function of a function button is displayed just above the button
in the bottom line of the screen (e.g. ⇒ Fig. 6).
Switching on and off
● To switch the unit on or off manually, briefly press the rotary/push knob
⇒ Fig. 1 rotary/push knob.
When the unit is switched on the system starts up. The last audio source
used is played at the last selected volume setting, provided this does not
exceed the preselected “switch-on volume” (ON-VOL or START-VOL
⇒ page 52).
