l operating information
Safety notes Travelling on today's roads requires the driv-
er's
f

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

ore starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to
you and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
dis
tinguish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the
car i
s stopped or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an ac c

ident and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. ●
Sel ect

volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● If you set the volume excessively high you
ma
y suffer damage to your ears. This can also
happen if you are exposed to an excessively
high volume even for a short time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y ou sw

itch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio sourc
e or connecting a new audio
source ››› page 7. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whi l

e driving can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
o b

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

ured could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vr
e, or in the ev

ent of an accident.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the doors, on the w
indscreen, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, on the dash panel, on the seat backr-
ests or between these areas and the passen-
gers. These units may cause serious injury in
the event of an accident, especially if the air-
bag is activated. WARNING
The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm mo v

ements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehic
le is in motion. Note
● Not in

serting the data medium correctly, or
inserting unsuitable data media, may damage
the unit.
● When inserting the memory card, make
sur
e it is in the correct position ››› page 21
● If you push too hard, you could damage the
lock
on the memory card slot.
● Only use suitable memory cards.
● The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged
if the
volume is too high or the sound is dis-
torted. 6

Introduction
●
Lightly pr
essing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the unit.
● It is possible that not all the functions and
fu

nction buttons are available as the software
of the unit responds to the specific character-
istics of each market. A missing function but-
ton on the screen is not the result of an error
in the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
fu

nctions cannot be selected on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile telephone inside the vehicle
can c
ause noise in the speakers.
● There may be restrictions on the use of
Bluetooth dev
ices in some countries. Infor-
mation is available from the local authorities.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking
dis
tance warning system, the volume of the
audio source is automatically lowered when
the gear is engaged.
● If the steering wheel has a voice control
butt
on , it will not work in this radio mod-
el, so it has no function in relation to the ra-
dio. Rotary knobs and buttons

Restrictions and instructions
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a data medium unusable. Please observe the
manuf

acturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
anomalies during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Informa-
tion can be found on the internet regarding
the best ways to create audio files and data
media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Depending on the size, its condition due to
use (copy and delete processes), the folder
structure and file type, the read time of the
data media used can vary considerably.
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
on the data medium at the locations referred
to by the playlist (relative file paths). Note
● Do not u

se adaptors for memory cards.
● We will not accept any responsibility for
fil

● Deactivate the service and warning sounds
of a c

anomalies in the operation.
● To play music, do not link the external me-
