General information
The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
Infotainment.
Using radio tuner functions, you may
register up to 25 stations on five
favourite lists.
You can connect external data
storage devices to the Infotainment
system as further audio sources;
either via 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 allows comfortable and safe use of
your mobile phone in the vehicle.
You can also operate specific
smartphone applications via the
Infotainment system.
Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using the touch
screen and buttons on the control
Infotainment system125panel, the controls on the steering
wheel, or - if provided by your mobile
phone - via speech recognition.
The well-thought-out design of the
control elements, the touch screen
and the clear display enable you to
control the system easily and
intuitively.
Note
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.
Important information on
operation and traffic safety9 Warning
The Infotainment system must be
used so that the vehicle can be
driven safely at all times. If in
doubt, stop the vehicle and
operate the Infotainment system
while the vehicle is stationary.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
● multipath 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.
