Safety notes
WARNING
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Operating the infotainment system while driving can distract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from outside the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● Setting the volume too high may damage your hearing. This also applies if you are exposed to high volumes for short periods only.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or connect a new audio source.
●
Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting a new audio source
⇒ page 8.
WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data medium while the vehicle is in motion can distract you from the road and lead to accidents.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly secured could be flung though the interior and cause injuries during a sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
● You should never position or attach an external device on a door, on the windscreen or above or near to the areas marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the dash panel and the seat backrests, or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. External devices can cause serious injury in an accident, especially when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
An armrest may obstruct the driver's arm movements, which could cause accidents and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Opening the housing on a CD player can lead to injuries from invisible laser radiation.
●
CD players should only be repaired by a qualified workshop.
CAUTION
● When inserting and removing the CD, always hold it at right angles to the front of the unit without scratching or tilting it.
● Inserting a second CD while a CD is already inserted or being ejected may damage the CD player. Always wait until the data medium is completely ejected.
CAUTION
The CD drive can be damaged by any foreign objects attached to a data medium, and by irregularly shaped data media.
● Only clean standard 12 cm CDs should be used.
– Do not affix stickers or other items to the data medium. Stickers may peel off and damage the drive.
– Do not insert 8 cm single CDs or irregularly shaped CDs or DVDs.
– Do not insert DVD Plus discs, dual discs or flip discs, as these are thicker than normal CDs.
CAUTION
The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged if the volume is too high or the sound is distorted.

General information on operating the unit
Introduction
Depending on the vehicle you can also change the track or station and ad-
just the volume using the multifunction steering wheel
⇒ Booklet Instruction manual, chapter Overview of the vehicle.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes
⇒ page 4
● Unit overview
⇒ page 6
Additional display information
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning settings or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be displayed temporarily on the screen. These displays disappear automatically when they are no longer required.
Note
● Only a small amount of pressure is needed to operate the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.
● Using a mobile phone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle speakers.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the volume of the current audio source is automatically lowered when reverse gear is engaged.
Rotary/push knobs, unit and function buttons
Overview
● Rotary/push knobs.
● Labelled unit buttons (hard keys).
● Function buttons (soft keys).
Rotary/push knobs
The left-hand rotary/push knob
⇒ Fig. 1
1
is referred to as the volume control or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob
⇒ Fig. 1
8
is referred to as the setting knob.
Unit buttons and function buttons
The system labelled buttons are called “unit buttons”, e.g.
SOUND
button
⇒ Fig. 1
.
There are six unlabelled unit buttons below the screen
⇒ Fig. 1
7
. These are known as “function buttons” because their function depends on the active function mode.
The current function of a function button is displayed just above the button
in the bottom line of the screen (e.g.
⇒ Fig. 6
).
Switching on and off
● To switch the unit on or off manually, briefly press the rotary/push knob
⇒ Fig. 1
rotary/push knob.
When the unit is switched on the system starts up. The last audio source used is played at the last selected volume setting, provided this does not exceed the preselected “switch-on volume” (
ON-VOL
or
START-VOL
⇒ page 38).
Introduction 9
Depending on the unit and country, the unit is switched off when the engine is turned off or the key is removed. If the unit comes on again without the ignition being switched on, it will switch off automatically after 30 minutes
(switch-off delay).
Energy management
If, when the ignition is switched off and the unit switched on, the battery voltage falls below the minimum onboard power supply voltage, an audible warning sounds and
LOW BATTERY
appears. You should switch the unit off.
If the battery voltage level continues to fall,
LOW BATTERY
and
RADIO OFF
are briefly shown on the display. The unit will switch off automatically.
It is possible to preset certain volume settings and adjustments
⇒ page 38.
Note
If the basic playback volume of an audio source has been increased substantially, lower the volume before changing to another audio source.
