Introduction
Introduction Gener a
l
operating information
Safety notes Travelling on today's roads requires the driv-
er's f
u

ll attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● Bef or

e starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to y
ou and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
distin
guish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the
car is
stopped or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident

and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. ●
Select

volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● If you set the volume excessively high you
may
suffer damage to your ears. This can also
happen if you are exposed to an excessively
high volume even for a short time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y ou sw it

ch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio source or c
onnecting a new audio
source ››› page 7. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whil e driv

ing can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
ob s

truct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not ob
struct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are loose or not proper-
ly sec ur

ed could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vre, or in the ev
ent

of an accident.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the doors, on the wind
screen, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, on the dash panel, on the seat backr-
ests or between these areas and the passen-
gers. These units may cause serious injury in
the event of an accident, especially if the air-
bag is activated. WARNING
The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm mo vement

s, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicl
e is in motion. Note
● Not in ser

ting the data medium correctly, or
inserting unsuitable data media, may damage
the unit.
● When inserting the memory card, make
sure it
is in the correct position ››› page 20
● If you push too hard, you could damage the
lock on the memor
y card slot.
● Only use suitable memory cards.
● The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged
if the v
olume is too high or the sound is dis-
torted. 6

Introduction
●
Lightly pr e
ssing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the unit.
● It is possible that not all the functions and
function b
uttons are available as the software
of the unit responds to the specific character-
istics of each market. A missing function but-
ton on the screen is not the result of an error
in the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
function
s cannot be selected on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile telephone inside the vehicle
can cau
se noise in the speakers.
● There may be restrictions on the use of
Bluetooth devic
es in some countries. Infor-
mation is available from the local authorities.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking
dist
ance warning system, the volume of the
audio source is automatically lowered when
the gear is engaged.
● If the steering wheel has a voice control
button
, it will not work in this radio mod-
el, so it has no function in relation to the ra-
dio. Rotary knobs and buttons
