Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you operate information and communica-
tion equipment integrated in the vehicle when
driving, you could be distracted from the traf-
fic situation. This could also cause you to lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
Only operate this equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you cannot be sure of this,
stop the vehicle paying attention to road and
traffic conditions and operate the equipment
with the vehicle stationary.
Observe the legal requirements for the country
you are in.
G
WARNING
If you use mobile information systems and
communications devices while driving, you
will be distracted from traffic conditions. You
could then lose control of the vehicle. There is
a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices when the vehicle
is stationary.
G
WARNING
If you handle or operate mobile audio/video
sources while driving, your attention may be
diverted from the traffic conditions. You could
then lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk
of an accident.
Only handle or operate these mobile audio/
video sources when the vehicle is stationary.
Only operate mobile audio/video sources via
the communications devices integrated into
the vehicle when traffic conditions permit. If
this is not the case, pull over to a safe location
and make entries only while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
G
WARNING
If you handle a disc while driving, you may be
distracted from the traffic situation. This
could also cause you to lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only handle a disc when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/h
your vehicle is covering a distance of nearly
14 m per second.
G
WARNING
SD cards are small parts. They can be swal-
lowed and cause choking. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Keep the SD card out of the reach of children.
If a SD card is swallowed, seek medical atten-
tion immediately.
G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring could affect their
function and/or the operation of other net-
worked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly any-
more and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
G
WARNING
If you operate two-way radios incorrectly in
the vehicle, their electromagnetic radiation
can interfere with the vehicle electronics, for
example if:
R
the two-way radio is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R
the exterior aerial is not correctly mounted
or is not low-reflection
This could jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating two-way radios in the vehicle, always
connect them to the low-reflection exterior
aerial.
