WARNING
The Infotainment system central computer is networked with the control units installed in the vehicle. Therefore,
improper repair or improper removal and installation of the central computer increases the risk of accidents and
injuries.
● Never replace the central computer with a used central computer taken from an end-of-life vehicle or a recycling
facility.
● Only have the central computer removed, installed or repaired by a specialist company qualified to perform this
work.
WARNING
The factory-fitted radio with integrated hardware is networked with the control units installed in the vehicle.
Therefore, improper repair or improper removal and installation of the radio increases the risk of accidents and
injuries.
● Never replace the radio with a used radio from end-of-life vehicles or from recycling.
● Only have the radio removed, installed or repaired by a suitably qualified workshop.
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Reading information on the screen, operating the
Infotainment system, and connecting, inserting or removing data media or audio sources while the vehicle is in
motion can distract you from the road and cause accidents.
● Always drive with your full attention and responsibly.
WARNING
Unfavourable light conditions and a damaged or soiled screen may result in displays and information not being read
or not being read correctly from the screen.
● Displays and information on the screen must never cause you to take any safety risks. Always drive with your full
attention and responsibly.
WARNING
If the volume is too high, you may not hear acoustic signals from outside the vehicle. Excess volume can also
damage your hearing. This is the case even if you are only exposed to high volumes for short periods.
● Set the volume so that you can still always hear acoustic signals from outside the vehicle(e.g. emergency service
sirens).
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch the audio or media source or connect a new source.
