er 3 format.

Tips on creating MP3 tracks
i
In everyday speech, this format has
been replaced by the designation
“MP3”.
i
It is recommended to use MP3 tracks
with a bit rate of 128 kbps or higher
and with a scan rate of 44.1 kHz or
higher. Lower rates may impair qual-
ity. This is particularly true if the
Sound function has been activated.

Warning
G
In order to avoid distraction which could
lead to an accident, the driver should in-
sert CDs with the vehicle at a standstill and
operate the audio system only when road,
weather and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approxi-
mately 14 m) every second.
