WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
Observe the legal requirements of the coun-
try in which you are currently driving.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of nearly 14 m
per second.
When using the device please follow:
R the safety information in these instructions
R traffic rules and regulations
R motor vehicle laws and safety standards
i Improper work on electronic components
or other systems (such as the radio and
disc slot) and their software may result in
malfunction or failure. Even systems that
have not been modified could be affected
because the electronic systems are con-
nected. Electronic malfunctions can seri-
ously jeopardize the operational safety of
your vehicle.
Always have all work on or modifications to electronic components carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop. Proper use
Audio 15 can be used to receive radio sta-
tions, to play back SD memory cards and
other data carriers and to make calls via the
Bluetooth ®

used for the playback of the image from the rear view camera and as a navigation system
in conjunction with the Becker ®
MAP PILOT
(optional).
Observe the specified requirements for data
carriers and permissible formats. Equipment

The navigation system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
The navigation system may provide incorrect
navigation announcements if the surround-
ings do not correspond to the data on the
digital map. For example, a route may have
been diverted or the direction of a one-way
street may have changed.
For this reason, you must always observe
road and traffic rules and regulations during
your journey. Road and traffic rules and reg-
ulations always have priority over the sys-
tem's driving recommendations. Becker
