Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
municatio nequipment integrated in the vehi-
cle whil edriving, you wil lbedistracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle .There is arisk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic

is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legalr equirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when

The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination withou ttaking the following into
account, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rother road and traffic rule sand regulations
The multimedia system may give incorrect nav-
igation recommendations if the actual street/
traffic situation does not correspond with the
digital map's data.
For example:
Rad iverted route
Rthe road layout or the direction of aone-way
street has been changed
For this reason, you must alwayso bserve road
and traffic rule sand regulations during your
journey. Roa dand traffic rule sand regulations
alwaysh ave priority over multimedia system
driving recommendations.
Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you whil edriving withou tdiverting your

se this feature instead of con-
sulting the map display for directions. Looking
at the icons or map display can distract you from
