WARNING
Poor visibility through the door windows,
windscreen and rear window increases the
risk of collisions and accidents which can
cause serious injuries.
x Keep all door windows, the windscreen
and the rear window free from ice, snow
and condensation to maintain perf
ect
visibility.
x Adjust the heating, air conditioning and
rear window heating to prevent conden-
sation from forming on the windows.
x Only set off once all windows are clear.
x Use air recirculation mode for a short
period only. Condensation could other-
wise form very quickly on the windows,
greatly reducing visibility.

sitiv
e to heat or cold could be either dam-
aged or rendered useless by the air flowing
out of the vents.

Cable and wireless con-
nections
Introduction to the topic
Some e xternal devices can be connected to
the Infotainment system by cable and wire-
less connections present in the vehicle (if in-
stalled).
The type and number of cable and wireless
connections differ according to country and
vehicle. The connections may also be differ-
ent within a model series or in special-edition
models.
In the case of cable connections, use only the
original device connecting cables or, if availa-
ble, the factory-supplied connecting cables
for your vehicle.
If the plug on the connecting cable cannot be
inserted, check the angle of insertion and the
connections. NOTICE
Use only suitable and undamaged connecting
cables f
or cable connections.
x When inserting the plugs of the connect-
ing cables into the appropriate connection,
ensure that they are correctly positioned
and apply only light pressure. Applying too
much pressure may damage both the unit
connection and the plug of the connecting
cable.
x Make sure that the connecting cable is not
pinched or sharply bent.
x Using unsuitable or damaged connecting
cables may damage devices and cause
malfunctions. If a connected device is not recog-
nised, disconnect all de

vices and con-
nect the device again. If necessary, check
that the connecting cable you are using is
working properly. If a connected device malfunctions, re-
start the de

vice. In some cases this will
remedy the fault. USB port
