General notes
The section on the multimedia system in this
manual describes the basic principles for oper-
ation. More information can be found in the Dig-
ital Owner's Manual. Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you operate information and communica-
tion equipment integrated in the vehicle when driving, you could be distracted from the traf-
fic situation. This could also cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Only operate this equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you cannot be sure of this,
stop the vehicle paying attention to road and
traffic conditions and operate the equipment
with the vehicle stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when operating the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R other road and traffic rules and regulations
The multimedia system may give incorrect driv-
ing recommendations if the actual road/traffic
situation does not correspond with the digital
map data.
For example:
R a diverted route
R the road layout or the direction of a one-way
street has been changed
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over multimedia system
driving recommendations. G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring could affect their
function and/or the operation of other net-
worked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly any-
more and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic components carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid. Function restrictions
For safety reasons, some functions are restric-
ted or unavailable while the vehicle is in motion.
You will notice this, for example, because either you will not be able to select certain menu items
or a message will appear to this effect. Operating system
