tions

necessarily available in your car, e. g., due to
the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. The respectively applicable country provi‐
sions must be observed when using the respec‐
tive features and systems.

when the ignition is switched on. As soon as
they are inside the vehicle they can be oper‐
ated via the radio and via the buttons on the
steering wheel.
