Important safety notes

WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems
and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pull over to a safe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating the on-board computer.

WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or mal-
functioned, you may not recognise function
restrictions relevant to safety. The operating
safety of your vehicle may be impaired. There
is a risk of an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have the vehicle checked
at a qualified specialist workshop immedi-
ately.
If the operating safety of your vehicle is
impaired, park the vehicle safely as soon as pos-
sible. Contact a qualified specialist workshop.

If a blackout lighting setting has been selec-
ted, the instrument cluster lighting is
switched off.
The instrument cluster and the display do not
show any information.
The on-board computer shows only display mes-
sages or warnings from certain systems on the
multifunction display. You should therefore
make sure your vehicle is operating safely at all
times.
