The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
The radio can easily be used by
registering a large number of FM, AM
and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radio stations with the 1...6 preset
buttons.
You can connect external data
storage devices, e.g. iPod, USB
devices, or other auxiliary devices to
the Infotainment system as further
audio sources; either via cable or via
Bluetooth.
Using the controls and menus of the Infotainment system, you can operate
approved smartphone applications.
In addition, the Infotainment system is equipped with a phone application
that allows for comfortable and safe
use of your mobile phone in the
vehicle.Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using the instrument panel controls, the controls on thesteering wheel or the speech
recognition function.
The well-thought-out design of the
control elements and the clear
displays enable you to control the
system easily and intuitively.
Notice
This manual describes all options
and features available for the
various Infotainment systems.
Certain descriptions, including those for display and menu functions, may
not apply to your vehicle due to
model variant, country
specifications, special equipment or
accessories.
Important information on operation and traffic safety9 Warning
The Infotainment system must be
used so that the vehicle can be
driven safely at all times. If in

Introduction7doubt, stop the vehicle and
operate the Infotainment system
while the vehicle is stationary.9 Warning
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic.The related traffic
regulations must always be
followed.
Only make entries (e.g. addresses) with the vehicle
stationary.
If a navigation instruction
contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
9 Warning
Areas such as one-way streets
and pedestrian zones are not
marked on the navigation system map. In such areas, the system
may issue a warning that must be
accepted. Therefore, pay
particular attention to one-way
streets and other roads and
entrances that must not be driven
into.
Radio reception
Radio reception may be disrupted by
static, noise, distortion or loss of
reception due to:
■ changes in distance from the transmitter,
■ multi-path reception due to reflection,
■ shadowing.
Theft-deterrent feature
The Infotainment system is equipped
with an electronic security system for the purpose of theft deterrence.
The Infotainment system therefore
functions only in your vehicle and is
worthless to a thief.
