Risk of accident
External audio sources may have differen tvol-
umes, which can mean that system messages
such as traffic announcements and navigation
system announcements are much louder. If
necessary, please deactivate the system mes-
sages or adjust their volume manually.
i The volume of external audio sources can
vary. It may be the case that a device which
is connected as an external audio source
seems quieter or louder in the vehicle, or
that the usual maximum volume cannot be
achieved. On some devices, it is possible to
adjust the volume separately. In this case,
start with a medium-level volume and
increase it gradually. This enables you to
determine whether the system is able to
play the music at high volume without dis-
torting it. X
To increase the volume on COMAND:
select Volume.
