This Owner's Manual describes all possible device functions without identify-
ing them as special equipment, model variants or market-dependent equip-
ment. Consequently, the device in your vehicle does not need to contain all of
the functions described in this Owner's Manual.

system, the menu points
CANTON Optimisation
,
CANTON Surround
and
CANTON Equalis-er
are not shown.

on the type of external devices (for example, telephone, music player, etc.).
The illustrations in this Owner's Manual are for illustrative purposes only. The
illustrations can differ in minor details from your vehicle; they are only inten-
ded to provide general information.
