does are also known as twisters.
-cyclone:
storm cells from which a tornadic storm
can develop
-hailstorm
-the likelihood of a hailstorm

Legend: weather fronts
Weather frontExplanation
Cold front
(blue line with blue trian-
gles)If a cold front moves in, the weather remains changeable and there
are often rain showers and thunderstorms. The air temperature
decreases.
Warm front
(red line with red semi-cir-
cles)A warm front may cause more prolonged steady rain, more cloud
cover and a slow rise in temperature.
Stationary front
(red and blue line with red
semi-circles and blue trian-
gles)The weather front moves minimally. The weather remains change-
able in this area.
Occlusion
(purple line with purple
semi-circles and triangles)An occlusion arises when the faster cold front catches up and joins
the warm front ahead of it. The weather remains changeable and
rainy within an occlusion.

Your multimediasystem equipment
These operating instructions describe all the
standard and optional equipment of your multi-
media system, as available at the time of going
to press. Country-specifi cdifferences are pos-
sible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not
feature all functions described here. This also
applies to safety-relevant systems andfunc-

Important safety notes
GWARNING
The CD/DVD drive is a class1 laser product.
If you ope nth e 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-
tenanc e and repair work carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If objects such as headphones/headsets or
external audio/video sources are not secured
in the passenger compartment, they can be
flung around and hit vehicle occupants. There
is a risk of injury, fo r example in the event of
sudden braking or a sudden change in direc-
tion .
Always stow these items or similar objects
carefully so that they cannot be flung around,
fo r example in a lockable vehicle stowage
compartment.
Components
The Rear Seat Entertainment System includes:
Rtwoscreens fo rth e rear behind the front-seat
head restraints
Rtw oremot econtrols fo rth e rear compart -
ment
Ra CD/DVD drive in th e rearcompartmen t
RAUXjack s
RtwoUS B ports
Rtwo sets of cordless headphones
General notes
RYou can only adjust the volume forth e head-
phone s supplied, directly on the headphones.
RIf media from differentsources are used,they
can be used separately from each of theoper-
ating positions. Example: a film from theDV D
drive is played on the rear right-hand operat-
ing position. This means that another film
from th e same DVDcanno t be played sepa-
rately on the rear left-hand operating position. However, all other media sources (e.g. radio,
Media Interface ) or the online and Internet
function s can be used.
RIf you use th e same medium on both sides,
you can both carry out the respective set-
tings. The "last one wins" principle applies
here, i.e. the last setting activated is favored.
RThe Internet can be used separately at all
operating positions.
RThe Internet can only be used if it is set up and
connecte d via a telephone(Ypage 142).
