MirrorLink ™
provides a function for the operation of some installed applica-
tions in the communication facility (e.g. telephone, hereinafter referred to only
as facility) by using the device.
Using this function is only for specially designed and certified applications. For
reasons of safety, the operation of some applications while driving is limited or
not possible (function keys of the applications are inactive).
WARNING■ No objects such as mobile telephone mounts, etc. must be attached to
the covers of the airbag modules or be located within their immediate vicin-
ity.■
Never leave communication facility in the deployment area of an airbag,
on a seat, on the dash panel or in another area, from which it can be
thrown during a sudden braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision -

The TMC traffic reports (Traffic Message Channel) provide a transmitted radio
data service for continuous transmission of traffic reports.
The TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance when there are traffic disruptions.
The following conditions are required for the correct TMC function.
The vehicle is within reception range of the FM RDS-TMC.
Adequate and uninterrupted signal reception of a traffic information sta-
tion.
Current navigation data in the device.
The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for the con-
tent of the TMC traffic reports.

If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listen-
ing to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be
turned off.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.
