Android Auto
Introduction to the subject
The Android Auto- connection can be set up under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
Infotainment is switched on.
The external device to be connected is switched on.
Some applications require the data connection in the connected external de-
vice to be turned on.
If Infotainment is connected to an external device via Android Auto then all the
phones currently connected, as well as the Bluetooth ®
players are disconnec-
ted.
The external device to be connected will automatically establish a telephone
connection via Bluetooth ®
as a main phone. Connecting an additional tele-
phone and using telephone services of the SIM card in the external module are
not possible for the duration of the connection. A possible data connection us-
ing the SIM card inserted in the external module remains operational
» page 164 .
An external device connected using Android Auto cannot be used as an audio source in the menu Media.
If route guidance is taking place at this moment in Infotainment, then there is
the option to start the route guidance in the Android Auto application. This is
also true reciprocally.
A list of devices and applications that the Android Autoconnection supports
can be found on the Google websites. Functionality is not guaranteed outside
of the supported regions.

Introductory information
Navigation - Function sequence
Applies to Infotainment Columbus, Amundsen.
Route guidance is started as follows.
›
Search for/ enter a new destination or Select one of the stored destinations.
›
Confirm the route calculation in the destination details or if necessary, adjust
the route options.
›
Select the preferred route type, if this is requested by Infotainment.
A route calculation occurs and route guidance starts.
The route guidance is provided by graphical driving recommendations and nav. announcements.
The is an option to add additional destinations during route guidance, or to
adapt the route.
If a traffic radio station is available, information concerning traffic delays is
evaluated by Infotainment and, if necessary, an alternative route is offered.
If you deviate from the route, then a new route calculation is carried out.
GPS satellite signal
Infotainment uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for
route guidance.
Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun-
nels, parking garages, etc.), Infotainment navigates only with restrictions using
vehicle sensors.
Infotainment offers the option to show in the split screen display the following

WARNING (Continued)■Under certain circumstances, surfaces of certain objects and types of
clothing cannot reflect the system signals. There is a danger that such ob-
jects or people may not be recognised by the system sensors.■
External noise sources may affect the signals of the system sensors.
There is a danger that obstacles may not be recognised by the system sen-
sors.
■
Before reversing, you should satisfy yourself that there are no small ob-
stacle, such as a rock, thin post etc., in front or behind your vehicle. Such
obstacles may not be recognised by the system sensors.
CAUTION
■ Keep the system sensors » Fig. 243 on page 205 clean, snow-and ice-free
and do not cover with any objects of any kind, otherwise the system function-
ing may be impaired.■
In adverse weather conditions (heavy rain, water vapour, very low or high
temperatures, etc.), the functioning of the system may be impaired - “incorrect
recognition of obstacles”.
■
Accessories additionally installed on the vehicle rear, such as bicycle carriers,
can impair the system function.

205Assist systems

The longer insect residues, bird droppings, road salt and other aggressive de-
posits remain on the paintwork of your vehicle, the more detrimental their de-
structive effect can be. High temperatures, such as those caused by intensive
sun's rays, accentuate this caustic effect.
It is also essential to thoroughly clean the underside of the vehicle at the end
of the winter.
Washing by hand
Wash the vehicle from top to bottom, with a soft sponge or a wash mitt and
plenty of water, and, if necessary, with the appropriate detergents. Wash out
the sponge or washing glove thoroughly at short intervals.
For wheels, door sills and lower areas of the vehicle use a different sponge.
Give the vehicle a good rinse after washing it and dry it off using a chamois
leather.
Automatic Car Washes
The usual precautionary measures must be taken before washing the vehicle
(e.g. closing the windows and the tilt/slide roof etc.).
If your vehicle is fitted with any particular attached parts (e.g. spoiler, roof rack system, two-way radio aerial etc.) it is best to consult the operator of the car
wash system beforehand.
After an automatic wash with wax treatment, the wiper blades should be
cleaned with cleaning agents specially designed for the purpose, and then de-
greased.
Pressure Washers
When washing the vehicle with a high-pressure cleaner, the instructions for
use of the equipment must be observed. This particularly applies to instruc-
tions regarding the pressure and spraying distance from the vehicle surface.WARNING■
When washing your vehicle in the winter: Water and ice in the braking
system can affect the braking efficiency – risk of accident!■
Take care when cleaning the underbody or the inside of the wheel wells -
there is a risk of injury from sharp metal parts!
CAUTION■ Do not wash the vehicle in direct sunlight, do not exert pressure on the body
while washing. The temperature of the washing water should be no more than
60 °C max. - otherwise there is a risk of damaging the vehicle paint.■
Before driving through a car wash fold in the exterior mirrors - There is a risk
of damage.
CAUTION
Washing the vehicle with high-pressure cleaners■Films should not be washed with any high-pressure cleaners - risk of dam-
age.■
Do not aim the water jet directly at the lock cylinders or the door or opening
joints when washing the vehicle in the winter – there is a risk of freezing.
■
During cleaning, always keep a sufficiently large spraying distance to the
parking sensors, the rear camera lens, to external decorative and protective
plastic parts (e.g. Roof racks, spoilers, protective strips) and other vehicle parts
made of non-metallic materials such as rubber hoses or insulation materials.
■
The sensors of the parking aid can be sprayed only for a short time and there
must be a minimum distance of 10 cm - there is a risk of damage.
