» Fig. 1 on page 5 which
can only be operated by the touch of a finger.
CAUTION
■ The screen can be operated by a slight touch of a finger. Do not apply pres-
sure to the screen - risk of damage!■
Do not use any objects to operate the screen - risk of damage!
■
Do not use solvents such as benzene or turpentine for cleaning, since they
may damage the screen surface.
Note
■ Use a soft cloth and, if necessary, methylated spirits, to remove fingerprints
from the screen. When doing so, ensure that you do not cause damage to oth-
er parts of the interior.■
It is not possible to operate the screen with your fingernails or while wearing
gloves.
■
Do not affix anything to the area of the unit below the screen. This could af-

The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
Radio reception DAB allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single fre-
quency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also allows for the transmission
of additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather, warnings,
etc.).
CAUTION
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can interfere with the radio
signal even causing it to fail completely.■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the AF and RDS settings. Otherwise, these settings can af-
fect the functionality of the radio.
■
For vehicles with window antennas, if the windows have foil stuck to them
or metal-coated stickers this may cause you to experience some interference.
