&WARNING Risk of distraction from operat-
ing integrated communication equipment
while the vehicle is in motion
If you operate communication equipment inte-
grated in the vehicle when driving, you could
be distracted from the tra"Pc situation. This
could also cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.
Only operate this equipment when the
tra"Pc situation permits.If you cannot be sure of this, stop the
vehicle whilst paying attention to road
and tra"Pc conditions and operate the
equipment with the vehicle stationary.&WARNING Risk of accident from operating
mobile communication equipment while
the vehicle is in motion
Mobile communication devices distract the
driver from the tra"Pc situation. This can also
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
As a driver, only operate mobile commu-
nication devices when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.As a vehicle occupant, use mobile com-
munication devices only in the designa-
ted area, e.g. in the rear passenger com-

MBUX multimedia system381

and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup
holders, open stowage spaces and mobile
phone receptacles cannot always retain all
objects within.
There is a risk of injury, particularly in the
event of sudden braking or a sudden change
in direction.Always stow objects so that they cannot
be thrown around in such situations.Always make sure that objects do not
protrude from stowage spaces, parcel
nets or stowage nets.Close the lockable stowage spaces before starting a journey.Always stow and secure heavy, hard,
pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky
