The intelligent Dynamic Road Sign Display technology cannot overcome the laws of
physics, and functions only within the limits of the system. Do not let the extra
convenience afforded by Dynamic Road Sign Display tempt you into taking any risks when
driving, as this can cause accidents. The system is not a substitute for the full
concentration of the driver.
•Always adapt your speed and driving style to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions.
•Poor visibility, darkness, snow, rain and fog can cause road signs to be not displayed
or be incorrectly displayed by the system.
•If the camera's field of view is dirty, covered or damaged, the function of the Dynamic
Road Sign Display system may be impaired.
WARNING
Driving recommendations and traffic symbols displayed by the Dynamic Road Sign
Display system may differ from the current traffic situation.
•Not all road signs can be recognised by the system and displayed correctly.
•Road signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommendations and
displays provided by the Dynamic Road Sign Display system.

Indicator lamp
The indicator lamp in the vehicle key flashes when you press a button.
Press the buttons on the key only if the corresponding function is actually needed. Pressing
a button when the function is not required could lead to the vehicle being unlocked unintentionally
or the alarm going off. This also applies even when you are not within the effective range.
Changing the button cell
Swallowing batteries with a diameter of 20 mm, or other button cells, can result in severe
or even fatal injuries within a very short period of time.
•Always keep the vehicle key, key ring with batteries, spare batteries, round cells and
other batteries that are larger than 20 mm out of the reach of children.
•Call for medical help immediately you suspect that someone has swallowed a battery.
DANGER
Careless or unsupervised use of the vehicle key can lead to accidents or injuries.
•Always take all vehicle keys with you every time you leave the vehicle. Children or
unauthorised persons could lock the doors and the boot lid, start the engine or switch
on the ignition and operate electrical equipment such as the electric windows.
•Never leave children or people requiring assistance alone in the vehicle. They could
become trapped in the vehicle in an emergency and may not be able to get themselves
to safety. For example, locked vehicles may be subjected to very high or very low
temperatures depending on the season. This can cause serious injuries and illness or
fatalities, especially among small children.
•Never switch off the ignition while the vehicle is in motion. The steering column lock or
steering lock mechanism may be activated and you will no longer be able to steer the
vehicle.
