General notes
The multimedia system section in this Opera-
tor's Manualdescribes the basicp rinciples for
operation. More information can be found in the Digital Operator's Manual.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
municatio nequipment integrated in the vehi-
cle when driving, you may be distracted from
the traffic situation. You could also lose con-
trol of the vehicle.T here isarisk of an acci-
dent.
Only operate this equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legalr equirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the multimedia system.
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination withoutt aking the following into
account, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rother road and traffic rule sand regulations
The multimedia system may give incorrect nav-
igation recommendations if the actual street/
traffic situation does not correspond with the
digital map's data.
For example:
Rad iverted route
Rthe road layout or the direction of aone-way
street has been changed
For this reason, you must alwayso bserve road
and traffic rule sand regulations during your
journey. Roa dand traffic rule sand regulations
alwaysh ave priority over multimedia system
driving recommendations. Navigation announcements are intended to
direct you whiled
riving withoutdiverting your
attention from the road and driving.
Please alwaysu se this feature instead of con-
sulting the map display for directions. Looking
at the icons or map display can distract you from
traffic conditions and driving, and increase the
risk of an accident.

exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equip-
ment and meets the FCC radiof requency (RF)
