WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving when operating the on-board computer. G
WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or there is a malfunction, you may not know about
safety-related function restrictions. The oper-ating safety of your vehicle may be affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Immediately stop the vehicle while paying
attention to the traffic conditions and consult
a qualified specialist workshop. G
