(for certain countries only) Head-up display
General notes The Head-up Display projects information from
the navigation system and the driver assistance
systems above the dashboard into the driver's
field of vision. This way, the Head-up Display
enables drivers to see information without hav-
ing to take their eyes off the road.
A requirement for the display of the content is
that the following functions are available in the
vehicle and are switched on:
R Cruise control
R SPEEDTRONIC
R DISTRONIC PLUS
R Traffic Sign Assist
R Navigation
Important safety notes The head-up display is only an aid and is not a
substitute for attentive driving.
Speed limits and overtaking restrictions are not
always correctly displayed. Traffic signs always
have priority over the Traffic Sign Assist display.
The visibility of the head-up display is influenced by the following conditions:
R the driver's seat position
R the positioning of the display image
R the general light conditions R
sunglasses with polarisation filters
R wet road surfaces
R blocking of sunlight by objects on the display
cover
In the event of extreme sunlight, sections of the
display may fade. This can be reversed by
switching the head-up display off and on again.
i Vehicles with the head-up display are equip-
ped with a special windscreen. Should repairs
be necessary, have the windscreen replaced
at a qualified specialist workshop.

Important safety notes G
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 whenoperating the navigation system.
General notes Correct functioning of the navigation system
depends, amongst other things, on GPS recep-
tion. In certain situations, GPS reception may be
impaired, there may be interference or there
may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels or
multi-storey car parks.
Audio 20 is equipped with Garmin ®
MAP PILOT
(see the manufacturer's operating instructions).
The Garmin ®
MAP PILOT operating instructions
are stored on the SD card as a PDF file. The SD card box contains a quick guide.
