Safety notes
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can distract your attention from the
traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● Setting the volume too high may damage your hearing. This also ap-
plies if you are exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting
a new audio source ⇒ page 8.
WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data medium while the vehicle is in
motion can distract you from the road and lead to accidents.
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 se-
cured could be flung though the interior and cause injuries during a sud-
den driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
● You should never position or attach an external device on a door, on
the windscreen or above or near to the areas marked “AIRBAG” on the
steering wheel, the dash panel and the seat backrests, or between these
areas and the vehicle occupants. External devices can cause serious in-
jury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.
