Warning

The usage of the navigation

system does not release the driver

from responsibility for a correct,

vigilant attitude in road traffic. The

related traffic regulations must

always be followed.
Only make entries (e.g.,

addresses) with the vehicle

stationary.
If a navigation instruction

contradicts traffic regulations, the

traffic regulations always apply.

Keeping the eyes on the road and the

mind on the drive is important for safe

driving. The navigation system has

built-in features intended to help with

this by disabling some features when

driving. A grayed-out function is not

available when the vehicle is moving.

All functions are available when the

vehicle is parked. Do the following

before driving:

■ Become familiar with the navigation

system operation, buttons on the

faceplate and touch-sensitive

screen buttons.

■ Set up the audio by presetting

favourite stations, setting the tone

and adjusting the speakers.

■ Set up the navigation features,

such as entering an address or a

preset destination.

■ Set up phone numbers in advance

so they can be called easily by

pressing a single button or a single

voice command for navigation

systems equipped with phone

capability.

Warning

The infotainment system has to be

used so that the vehicle can be

driven safely at all times. If in doubt

stop your vehicle and operate the

infotainment system while the

vehicle is stationary.

Use the navigation system to:

■ Plan a route.
■ Select a destination using the

various methods and choices.

■ Follow navigation route and map

guidance with voice prompts, only

if permitted by traffic laws, controls

and conditions.

■ Receive RDS broadcast

announcements.

Warning

In some areas one-way streets

and other roads and entrances

(e.g. pedestrian zones) that you

are not allowed to turn into are not

marked on the map. In such areas

the infotainment system will issue

a warning that must be accepted.

Here you must pay particular
