WARNING

Any distraction affecting the driver in any

way can lead to an accident and cause inju-

and managing the infotainment system can

distract your attention from traffic and

cause an accident.

Position the connection cables of the audio

Introduction

WARNING

●

This is also the case if the external antenna

has not been correctly installed.

When the speakers and the vehicle com-

ponents necessary for radio reception are

damaged, do not work or do not have suffi-

cient electrical power.

The centre armrest may obstruct the driv-

er's arm movements, which could cause an

accident and severe injuries.

●

Keep a distance of at least 20 centime-

tres between the antennas of the mobile

phone device and an active medical device,

such as a pacemaker, as mobile phones

might alter the functioning of these devi-

ces.

●

When the infotainment is switched off.

●

Keep the storage compartments of the

centre armrest closed at all times while the

vehicle is in motion.

WARNING

Switch off mobile phone devices in areas

with a risk of explosion!

●

Do not carry a mobile phone switched on

regulations and local circumstances prevail

over driving recommendations and naviga-

tion system indications.

Mobile phones, external devices and acces-

sories that are loose or not properly se-

cured could move around the passenger

compartment during a sudden driving or

braking manoeuvre or an accident and

cause damage or injury.

WARNING

●

Adapt your speed and driving style to suit

visibility, weather, road and traffic condi-

tions.

Radio stations can transmit disaster or haz-

ard announcements. The following condi-

tions prevent such notices from being re-

ceived or issued:

●

Certain circumstances can significantly

tion of the trip and the route to the desti-

nation, or even temporarily prevent naviga-

tion to it, for example, if a road is closed to

traffic.

Set mobile phone devices, external devi-

ces and their accessories outside the air-

bag deployment areas or store them se-

curely.

●

When in areas with zero or insufficient ra-

dio signal. Also in tunnels, confined areas

between very tall buildings, garages, under-

passes, mountains and valleys.

When the frequency bands of the radio

station have interference or are not availa-

ception.
