• The armrest can affect the elbow room of the driver and thus cause accidents
and severe injuries. Always keep the armrest closed while driving.
KEY FOB WARNINGS
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal injury.
• Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It can be used to start
the engine and operate vehicle systems such as the power windows, leading to
serious personal injury. Children or other unauthorized persons could also lock
the doors and the luggage compartment.
• Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves
in the vehicle. The doors can be locked with the remote control key. This could
result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency. For example,
depending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to
very high or very low temperatures.
• Heat build-up in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle
can result in temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than outside
temperatures, particularly in summer. Temperatures can quickly reach levels
that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
• Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle is moving or
rolling to a stop. The steering wheel will lock and you will not be able to steer
or control the vehicle.
LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT WARNINGS
Accidents and severe personal injuries can result if you unlock, open, or close the
luggage compartment lid when someone is in the way.
• Only open or close the luggage compartment lid if no one is in the way.
• After closing the luggage compartment lid, always make sure that it is properly
closed and locked so that it cannot open suddenly when the vehicle is moving.
The closed luggage compartment lid must be flush with the surrounding
auto body parts.
• Always keep the luggage compartment lid closed while driving to help keep
poisonous exhaust gas from being drawn into the vehicle.
• Never open the luggage compartment lid when a luggage rack is installed
and loaded. If, for example, there are bicycles on a carrier on the luggage
compartment lid, it is possible that the lid will not be able to open automatically.
An open luggage compartment lid may fall on its own because of the additional
weight. If necessary, prop open the luggage compartment lid. Remove the weight
from the luggage rack first.
• Close and lock the luggage compartment lid and all doors when the vehicle is
not in use. First, make sure that no one is left inside the vehicle.
• Never leave your vehicle unattended or let children play around your vehicle,
especially when the luggage compartment lid is open. A child could crawl into the
vehicle and pull the luggage compartment lid shut, becoming trapped and unable
to get out. A closed vehicle can become very hot or very cold, depending on the
season. Particularly in the summer, heat build-up in the passenger and luggage
compartment of a parked vehicle can result in temperatures in the vehicle that
are much higher than the outside temperatures. Temperatures can quickly reach
levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
• Never leave children or anyone who cannot help themselves behind in the vehicle.
They may lock the vehicle with the vehicle key or the power locking switch and
lock themselves in.
PREMIUM VIII WARNINGS
Distracting the driver from traffic can lead to collisions and injuries. Using the radio
system while driving can distract from traffic.
• Observe legal regulations.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly.
• Setting the volume too high can damage the hearing. This applies especially to
volumes above about 85 decibels.
• Select volume settings so that acoustic signals from the outside are always
audible (for example, the sirens of emergency rescue vehicles).
• Please lower the volume before changing or connecting to an audio source.
• Unmounted or improperly mounted external devices can be thrown through the
passenger compartment in the event of a sudden driving or braking maneuver
or a collision, causing injury.
• Never leave external devices in the doors, on the front windshield, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, instrument panel, seatbacks,
or between these areas and the occupants. External devices can cause serious
injury in the event of a collision, especially if the airbags inflate.
• Watch for a message in the instrument cluster display indicating whether the
roof has been properly closed.
ELECTRICAL EASY ENTRY WARNINGS
Careless or unsupervised use of the Easy Entry can cause accidents and
severe injuries.
• Never adjust the Easy Entry while driving.

ADAPTER WARNINGS
Driver distraction, including the operation of external audio devices, can cause
accidents and serious personal injury.
• Always focus your undivided attention on driving the vehicle.
• Never display video images in the display when the vehicle is moving.
• Use the radio navigation system only if road, traffic, and weather conditions
permit and you will not be distracted from your driving.
• Always obey applicable laws regarding the use of displays when the vehicle
is moving.
• Always adjust volume so that horns and warning sounds from outside the vehicle
(police and fire truck sirens, for example) can be clearly heard at any time.
• Observe legal regulations.
• Always drive attentively and responsibly.
• Setting the volume too high can damage the hearing. This applies especially
to volumes above about 85 decibels.
• Select volume settings so that acoustic signals from the outside are always
audible (for example, the sirens of emergency rescue vehicles).
• Please lower the volume before changing or connecting to an audio source.
• Unmounted or improperly mounted external devices can be thrown through the
passenger compartment in the event of a sudden driving or braking maneuver
or an accident, causing injury.
• Never leave external devices in the doors, on the front windshield, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, instrument panel, seat backs,
or between these areas and the occupants. External devices can cause serious
injury in the event of an accident, especially if the airbags inflate.
• Connecting cables of external devices may obstruct the driver. Route cables so
as not to interfere with the driver.
• If interference is suspected, immediately switch off the mobile phone.
• Always keep the armrest closed while driving. The center armrest can interfere
with the driver’s elbow movement and thus cause collisions and severe injuries.

WARNINGS
Poor visibility increases the risk of collisions and other accidents that cause serious
personal injuries.
• Always make sure all windows are clear of ice, snow, and condensation for good
visibility to the front, sides, and rear.
• Maximum heating output and fast defrosting will only be possible after the engine
has reached operating temperature. Wait until you have good visibility before
driving off.
• Always make sure you know how to properly use the heating and ventilation
systems as well as the rear window defogger that you will need for good visibility.
• Never use air recirculation for long periods of time. When the air conditioner is
off and recirculation mode is on, condensation can quickly form on the windows
and greatly reduce visibility.
• Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed. Stale air causes
driver fatigue and reduces driver alertness, which can cause accidents, collisions,
and serious personal injury.
• Never switch off the fan for a long period of time and never use air recirculation a
long period of time because no fresh air will come into the passenger
compartment.
CRUISE CONTROL WARNINGS
Using the cruise control when it is not possible to drive safely at a constant speed
can be dangerous and can lead to an accident and serious personal injuries.
• Never use cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic or when you
cannot keep a safe distance between you and the vehicles ahead of you.
• Never use cruise control on steep, winding, or slippery roads (such as gravel
roads, wet roads, or snowy or icy roads) or on roads with standing water.
• Never use cruise control when driving off-road or on unpaved roads.
• Always adjust your speed and the distance you keep between you and the
vehicles ahead of you to the road, traffic, weather and visibility conditions.
• To help prevent unintended operation of cruise control, switch the system off
when it is not being used.
• It is dangerous to use the Resume feature when the previously set speed is too
high for the existing road, traffic, or weather conditions.
• When traveling downhill, the cruise control may not be able to maintain a
constant speed. The vehicle may speed up because of its own weight. Downshift
and/or use the foot brake to slow the vehicle.
CSC ROOF WARNINGS
Serious injury may result from driving when the CSC roof has not properly
locked into place or when the process of opening or closing the convertible top
is incomplete.
• Never drive if the CSC roof is not either completely open or completely closed
and locked – unless you must move the vehicle to a safe place away from traffic.
In this case:
– Do not drive any faster than a slow walk. Even at low speeds, air resistance can
twist or deform the roof or tear it off completely, endangering vehicle occupants
and others.
• Accidents and severe injuries can result if the CSC roof is opened or closed when
someone is in the way.
• Never open or close the CSC roof unless the vehicle is parked at a safe distance
from traffic.
• Do not open or close the CSC roof unless you have made sure that nobody is in
the way of the luggage compartment lid, the roof system, or other moving parts.
• Check to make sure that the closed CSC roof is securely latched.
• If convertible top operation is interrupted, please note the following:
– The CSC roof may not stop moving immediately. Gravity may cause the CSC
roof to keep moving.
– Gradually (may take up to eight minutes), the CSC roof will automatically lower
itself into a balanced position.
– The CSC roof is, however, not latched in this position. Stop!
• If interruption of opening or closing process causes the roof to come to rest in its
forward position, the roof will not be latched.
• If you are unable to get the CSC roof to close “normally,” latch the roof using the
emergency closing procedure.

WARNINGS
• Collisions and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Speaking on or using
a phone while driving can distract the driver from traffic.
• Select the volume settings so that the acoustic signals from the outside are
still audible (for example, the sirens of emergency rescue vehicles). Observe
legal regulations.
• In areas with no or poor mobile network coverage and possibly in tunnels,
garages and subways, phone conversations may be interrupted, and it may be
impossible to make phone calls–even emergency calls!
• In some countries, emergency calls may only be supported when the mobile
phone is connected to a mobile phone package which has a SIM card that is
“not blocked” and/or has sufficient credit on it.
• Unmounted or improperly mounted mobile phones can fly around in the event
of a sudden driving or braking maneuver or a collision. This may cause injuries.
• Never place or mount a mobile phone on doors, on the windshield or on or near
the area on the steering wheel marked “AIRBAG,” the instrument panel, the seat
backrests or the areas between these points and the driver/passengers. Mobile
phones can lead to serious injuries in cases of collisions, especially when the
airbags are inflated.
• Always switch off your mobile telephone at gas stations or wherever there is
a fire or explosion hazard. Electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks which
can start fires.
• The mobile phone will automatically connect to the mobile network when the
Bluetooth connection to the mobile phone package is disconnected.
• Using a radio device in the vehicle without a connection to an external antenna
might exceed electromagnetic radiation thresholds. This also applies if the
external antenna is not installed properly.
• Keep a distance of at least eight inches between the antennas of the mobile
phone and the pacemaker, since mobile phones can affect the functionality of
a pacemaker.
• Do not carry a mobile phone on standby mode in the breast pocket directly on
top of a pacemaker.
