Risk of accident
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions.
Only use COMAND or the telephone* when

50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of
nearly 14 m per second. The navigation sys-
tem* will not provide you with information

lations or road safety features. It is up to you
to pay attention to these while driving the
vehicle. Only enter a new destination when
the vehicle is stationary. G

tunnel, you should switch off LOGIC7 ®because it may otherwise switch auto-
matically between stereo and mono and
therefore distort the sound temporarily.
