Safety notes
WARNING
Any distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury. Operating
the radio system could distract you from the traffic.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● Setting the volume too high may cause damage to your hearing. This
also applies if the device is set to high volumes for a short period.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting
a new audio source.
WARNING
The connection, introduction or removal of data media whilst driving may
distract you from the traffic, causing an accident.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung through the interior of the vehicle during a sudden
driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never fit external units on the doors, windscreen, on or near the area
marked with the word “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the dash panel,
seat backrests or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. In the
case of an accident, external units can cause serious injury, particularly
when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
Opening the housing on a CD player can lead to injuries from invisible la-
ser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a Specialised workshop.
