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

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 navigation system.
General notes Correct functioning of the navigation system
depends, amongst other things, on GPS recep-
tion. In certain situations, GPS reception may be
impaired, there may be interference or there
may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels or
multi-storey car parks.
Audio 20 is equipped with Garmin ®
MAP PILOT
(see the manufacturer's operating instructions).
The Garmin ®
MAP PILOT operating instructions
are stored on the SD card as a PDF file. The SD card box contains a quick guide.

hitch. You could otherwise damage the vehi-
cle.
! Observe the following points when towing
with a tow rope:
R Secure the tow rope on the same side on
both vehicles.
R Make sure that the tow rope is not longer
than legally permitted. Mark the tow rope in the middle, e.g. with a white cloth
(30 x 30 cm). This will make other road
users aware that a vehicle is being towed.
R Only secure the tow cable to the towing
eyes or, if available, to the trailer tow hitch.
R Observe the brake lamps of the towing
vehicle while driving. Always maintain a dis-
tance a distance so that the tow rope does not sag.
R Do not use steel cables or chains to tow
your vehicle. You could otherwise damage
the vehicle.
! Do not use the towing eyes for recovery pur-
poses as this could damage the vehicle. If in
doubt, recover the vehicle with a crane.
! Pull away smoothly when towing away or
tow-starting a vehicle. If the tractive power is too high, the vehicles could be damaged.
! You may tow the vehicle for a maximum of
50km. A towing speed of 50 km/h must not
be exceeded.
For towing distances over 50 km, the front
axle or the entire vehicle must be raised and
transported.
! To tow vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, use the
key instead of the Start/Stop button. The
automatic transmission may otherwise
switch to position Pwhen you open the driv-
er's or front-passenger door which could

! Vehicles with automatic transmission must
not be tow-started. The transmission may
otherwise be damaged.
Observe the legal requirements for the relevant countries when towing and tow-starting.
It is better to have the vehicle transported than
to have it towed.
If the vehicle can no longer be driven because of an accident or breakdown, you have the follow-
ing options:
R transporting the vehicle As a rule, you should have the vehicle trans-
ported.
R towing the vehicle with a tow rope or tow bar
