Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is arisk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pullo ver toasafe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the lega lrequirements for the
country in which you are driving when operating
the system.
The multimedi asystem calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R other road and traffic rule sand regulations
The multimedi asystem may provid eincorrect
driving recommendations if the surroundings do
not correspond to the data on the digital map
(for example, aroute may have been diverted or
the direction of aone-wa ystreet may have
changed).
For this reason, you must alwayso bserve road
and traffic rule sand regulations during your
journey .Roada nd traffic rule sand regulations
alwaysh ave priority over the system' sdriving
recommendations. GPS reception
Positio nfinding and route guidance take place
using GPS ( GlobalPositioning System). Correct
functioning of the navigation system depends,
amongst other things, on GPS reception. In cer-
tain situations, GPS reception may be impaired, there may be interference or there may be no
reception at all,e .g. in tunnels or multi-storey
car parks. Navigat
