play. Seek help from a specialist garage.WARNINGThe system is used only for support, thus the driver is not released from his

the sensor is covered by an obstacle).
CAUTION
Do not cover the sensor and keep the front screen clean - system functionality
can be impaired.

Introductory information
Important information
Introduction to the subject
WARNING
vOnly use Infotainment in such a way that you have control of the vehicle
in every traffic situation (e.g. Do not write text messages while driving, do
not link or connect the telephone, do not work with the contact list, do not
enter any destinations, do not connect WLAN or SmartLink etc.)- Other-
wise there is a risk of an accident!
v
Always route the connection cable of the external device such that is
does not restrict you when driving.
WARNING
v Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside the vehi-
cle, e.g. sirens from emergency vehicles, can be heard at all times.
v
High volumes can cause hearing damage!
CAUTION
In some countries, some Infotainment functions can no longer be selected
when the vehicle is running faster than a certain speed. This is not a malfunc- tion, but complies with the national legal regulations.
