The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
Using the FM, AM or DAB radio
functions, you can register a great
number of stations on various
favourites pages.
You can even register music tracks,
telephone numbers, destination
addresses or tone settings on the
favourites pages.
The CD player will entertain you with
audio CDs and MP3/WMA CDs.
You can connect external data
storage devices to the Infotainment
system as further audio sources;
either via a cable or via Bluetooth ®
.
The navigation system with dynamic
route planning will reliably guide you
to your destination, and, if desired,
automatically avoid traffic jams or
other traffic problems.
In addition, the Infotainment system is equipped with a Phone portal that
allows comfortable and safe use of
your mobile phone in the vehicle.Using the phone projection function,
you can operate specific applications
on your smartphone via the
Infotainment system.
Via the shop application, you may
download additional apps to the
Infotainment system.
Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using controls on the steering wheel or via the speech
recognition system.
The well-thought-out design of the
control elements, the touch screen
and the clear displays enable you to
control the system easily and
intuitively.
Notice
This manual describes all options
and features available for the
various Infotainment systems.
Certain descriptions, including those
for display and menu functions, may
not apply to your vehicle due to
model variant, country
specifications, special equipment or
accessories.
Introduction7Important information on
operation and traffic safety9 Warning
Drive safely at all times when
using the Infotainment system.
If in doubt, stop the vehicle before operating the Infotainment
system.
9 Warning
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic.The related traffic
regulations must always be
followed.
Only make entries (e.g. addresses) with the vehicle
stationary.
If a navigation instruction
contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
9 Warning
In some areas one-way streets
and other roads and entrances
(e.g. pedestrian zones) that you
are not allowed to turn into are not marked on the map. In such areas
the Infotainment system may
issue a warning that must be
accepted. Here you must pay
particular attention to one-way
streets, roads and entrances that
you are not allowed to drive into.
Radio reception
Radio reception may be disrupted by
static, noise, distortion or loss of
reception due to:
● changes in distance from the transmitter
● multi-path reception due to reflection
● shadowing
Theft-deterrent feature
The Infotainment system is equipped
with an electronic security system for
the purpose of theft deterrence.
The Infotainment system therefore
functions only in your vehicle and is
worthless to a thief.
