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

ore starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to
you and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
dis
tinguish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Changes to the Infotainment system set-
ting
s should be made when the car is stop-
ped, or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an ac c

ident and cause injuries. Operating the
Infotainment system can distract your atten-
tion from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. ●
Sel ect

volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
● Hearing may be impaired if using too high a
vo
lume setting, even if only for short periods
of time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y ou sw

itch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Lower the base volume before connecting
or swit
ching audio sources. WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
c ation

s shown on the navigation system may
differ from the current traffic situation.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority o
ver the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the navigation system.
● Adjust your vehicle speed and driving style
to s
uit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whi l

from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
o b

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

compartment during a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never place or fit external devices to the
doors, w
indscreen, steering wheel, dash pan-
el, the backs of the seats, on top of or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” or between these
areas and the occupants. External devices
can cause serious injury in an accident, espe-
cially when the airbags inflate. WARNING
The armrest may obstruct the driver's arm
mo v

ements, which could cause an accident
and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehic
le is in motion. WARNING
Opening a CD or DVD player's housing can
l e

ad to injuries from invisible laser radiation.
● Have CD or DVD players repaired only by a
qualified w

Introduction
CAUTION
The Infotainment system can be damaged by
the inc orr
ect insertion of a data storage de-
vice or the insertion of an incompatible data
storage device.
● When inserting a data storage device, make
sur
e it is correctly positioned ››› page 26.
● Applying force may irreparably damage the
memory
card slot locking mechanism.
● Only use compatible memory cards.
● When inserting and removing CDs and
DVD
s, always hold them at right angles to the
front of the CD/DVD drive without tilting so as
not to scratch them.
● If a CD or DVD is inserted while another is
alr
eady in the unit or being ejected, the DVD
drive may be irreparably damaged. Always
wait until the data medium is completely
ejected. CAUTION
Any foreign objects stuck to a data storage
dev ic

e and non-round media may damage the
CD or DVD player.
● Only clean, standard 12 cm CDs or DVDs
shoul
d be used.
– Do not affix stickers or other items to the
data medium. Stickers may peel off and
damage the drive.
– Do not use printable data media. Printed
labels and coverings may peel off and
damage the CD/DVD drive. –
Do not in

sert 8 cm single CDs or irregu-
larly shaped CDs or DVDs.
– Do not insert DVD-Plus discs, Dual Discs

If the setup is changed, this may change the
display on the screen and in some cases, the
Infotainment system may behave in a manner
different to that described in this manual. Note

functions will not. Note
● Lightly pr

essing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the Infotainment system.
● Not all listed function buttons and func-
tions
described may be available due to the
device software used in your market. The
equipment is not faulty if a function button is
missing from the screen.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
fu

nctions may not be available on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle
ma
y cause noise from the vehicle loudspeak-
ers.
● Restrictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
t

echnology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities.
● On some vehicles with ParkPilot, the vol-
ume of the audio sour
