Introduction Saf ety
in
structions relating to the In-
fotainment system Travelling on today's roads requires the driv-
er's f
u

ll attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● Bef or

e starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to y
ou and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
distin
guish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the
car is
stopped or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident

and cause injuries. Operating the
Infotainment system can distract your atten-
tion from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
eas
ily hear signals from outside the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
● He arin

g may be impaired if using too high a
volume settin
g, even if only for short periods
of time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y ou sw it

ch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Lower the base volume before connecting
or switc
hing audio sources. WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
cation s

shown on the navigation system may
differ from the current traffic situation.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority ov
er the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the navigation system.
● Adjust your vehicle speed and driving style
to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whil e driv

ing can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
ob s

truct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not ob
struct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are loose or not proper-
ly sec ur

ed could move around the passenger
compartment during a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never place or fit external devices to the
doors, wind
screen, steering wheel, dash pan-
el, the backs of the seats, on top of or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” or between these
areas and the occupants. External devices
can cause serious injury in an accident, espe-
cially when the airbags inflate. WARNING
The armrest may obstruct the driver's arm
mov ement

s, which could cause an accident
and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicl
e is in motion. WARNING
Opening a CD player's housing may lead to
injuries fr

om invisible laser radiation.
● Have CD players repaired only by a quali-
fied workshop

Introduction
CAUTION
The Infotainment system can be damaged by
the incorr ect
insertion of a data storage de-
vice or the insertion of an incompatible data
storage device.
● When inserting a data storage device, make
sure it
is correctly positioned ››› page 23.
● Applying force may irreparably damage the
memory c
ard slot locking mechanism.
● Only use compatible memory cards.
● When inserting and ejecting CDs, always
hold them at
right angles to the front of the
CD drive without tilting so as not to scratch
them.
● If a CD is inserted while another is already
in the unit or bein
g ejected, the CD drive may
be irreparably damaged. Always wait until
the data medium is completely ejected. CAUTION
Any foreign objects stuck to a data storage
devic e and non-r

ound media may damage the
CD player.
● Only clean 12 cm standard CDs should be
used!
–Do not affi

x stickers or other items to the
data medium. Stickers may peel off and
damage the drive.
– Do not use printable data media. Printed
labels and coverings may peel off and
damage the CD drive. –
Do not in ser

t 8 cm single CDs or non-
round CDs (shaped CDs).
– Do not insert DVD-Plus discs, Dual Discs

ssing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the Infotainment system.
● Not all listed function buttons and func-
tions de

Due t o c

ountry-specific legislation, certain
functions may not be available on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle
may
cause noise from the vehicle loudspeak-
ers.
● Restrictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
tec

hnology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities.
● On some vehicles with ParkPilot, the vol-

Restrictions and instructions
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Please observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers can lead to
problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws. The unit may be unable to read individual
track
s or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion about the best ways to create audio files
and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag
etc.) can be found on the Internet.
The reading time may vary considerably de-
pending on the condition of the data medium
(copying and deleting actions), folder struc-
ture and file type. Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der.
There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
stored on the data medium at the locations
referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
