tooth ®
audio device that has not yet been
authorized: turn and press the controller.

is being used, the device can be authorized
either by entering a passkey or by Secure

phone" section (Y page 94).
After successful authorization, the Blue-
tooth ®

playing.
i With some Bluetooth ®
audio devices, play-
back must initially be started on the device
itself, so that the multimedia system can play
the audio data. Bluetooth ®
must also be given
as a media output location for the audio
device used.
i The Bluetooth ®
audio device must support
Bluetooth ®
version 2.1 for connection via
Secure Simple Pairing. The multimedia sys-
tem creates a six-digit code which is dis-
played simultaneously on both devices that
are to be connected.
For some Bluetooth ®
audio devices, the pair-
ing must also be confirmed within 10 sec-
onds. External authorization
If the multimedia system does not find your
Bluetooth ®
audio device (Y page 154), this may
be due to particular security settings on your

Important safety notes

WARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class 1 laser product. If you open the housing of the CD/DVD drive,
there is a risk of exposure to invisible laser
radiation. This laser radiation could damage
your retina. There is a risk of injury.
Never open the housing. Always have main-
tenance and repair work carried out at a quali- fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Handling discs while driving may distract you from traffic conditions. You could also lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Handle discs only when the vehicle is station-
ary.
Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers a
distance of 44 ft (approximately 14 m)per sec-
ond. General notes
Notes on discs !
Do not affix stickers or labels to the discs.
They could peel off and damage the drive.
The drive is designed to receive EN 60908 standard discs. Therefore, you can
only use discs with a maximum thickness of
1.3 mm.
If you insert thicker discs, e.g. those that con- tain data on both sides (DVD on one side and
audio data on the other), they cannot be ejec-
ted and can damage the drive.
Do not use discs with an 8 cm diameter, even when using an adapter. Only use round discs
with a 12 cm diameter.
The variety of data media, burners and burn
software means there is no guarantee that the
system will be able to play discs that you have
copied yourself. Video DVD mode
