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 de-

vice, such as a pacemaker, as mobile

phones might alter the functioning of these

devices.

●

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
