Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● Bef or

e starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to y

● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
distin
guish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Changes to the Infotainment system set-
tings
should be made when the car is stop-
ped, or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident

and cause injuries. Operating the
Infotainment system can distract your atten-
tion from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. ●
Select

volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
● Hearing may be impaired if using too high a
volume settin
g, even if only for short periods
of time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y ou sw it

ch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Lower the base volume before connecting
or switc
hing audio sources. WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
cation s

compartment during a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never place or fit external devices to the
doors, wind
screen, steering wheel, dash pan-
el, the backs of the seats, on top of or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” or between these
areas and the occupants. External devices
can cause serious injury in an accident, espe-
cially when the airbags inflate. WARNING
The armrest may obstruct the driver's arm
mov ement

s, which could cause an accident
and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicl

Navigation
Dynamic route guidance
In or der f
or dy
namic route guidance to func-
tion, Dynamic route must be activated in
the route options ››› page 67.
If during route guidance a traffic report is re-
ceived that affects the route being travelled,
an alternative route will be searched for if the
Infotainment system calculates that time can
be saved.
If it calculates that time will not be saved us-
ing the alternative route, it will continue on
the route with the traffic congestion. An an-
nouncement will be made in each case.
Shortly before arriving at the announced con-
gested traffic, it will be announced once
again.
Avoiding congestion by following the instruc-
tions of a traffic report does not always save
time as the alternate roads may be at a
standstill. The quality of the dynamic route
guidance depends on the information con-
tained in the traffic reports.
The remainder of the route to be travelled
may be manually excluded to cause a new
route calculation ››› page 60.
