•  Setting the volume too high can damage the hearing. This applies especially to   

volumes above around 85 decibels.

•  Select volume settings so that acoustic signals from the outside are audible (for   

example, the sirens of emergency rescue vehicles).

•  Inserting data media while driving can distract from traffic and lead to accidents.   

Always keep the storage compartment closed while driving.

PANORAMIC SUNROOF WARNINGS

Careless or unsupervised use of the Panoramic sliding sunroof may result in 

accidents and severe injuries.

• Make sure no one is in the way before opening or closing the Panoramic sunroof.

• Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.

•  Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle — particularly if they 

have access to the vehicle key. Unsupervised use of the vehicle key makes it 

possible to lock the vehicle, start the engine, turn on the ignition and operate the 

Panoramic sunroof.

•  You can still open or close the Panoramic sunroof for a short while after you switch  

off the ignition, as long as the driver or front passenger door has not been opened.

RNS 850 AUDIO WARNINGS

Driving on today’s roads demands the full attention of the driver at all times. Driver 

distraction causes accidents, collisions and serious personal injury!

•  Never let yourself be distracted when setting, adjusting, or using the Infotainment   

System, when using your cell phone, or when operating the cell phone controls.

•  Always drive attentively and responsibly. Use the Infotainment system, your cell 

phone, and the cell phone controls only if road, traffic, and weather conditions 

permit and you will not be distracted from your driving.

•  If you cannot use the Infotainment System, your cell phone, or the cell phone   

controls safely while driving, wait until later or find a safe spot where you can pull 

off the road and park the vehicle.

•  Always set sound volume levels so that you can clearly hear horns, sirens, and 

other warning sounds outside the vehicle.

SUNROOF WARNINGS

Improper use of the power sunroof can result in serious personal injury.

• Always make sure that no one is in the way of the power sunroof when it is closing.

• Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle.

•  Never leave children or disabled persons in the vehicle—particularly if they have 

access to the vehicle key. Unsupervised use of the remote control vehicle key   

makes it possible to lock the vehicle, start the engine, turn on the ignition and 

operate the sunroof.

•  You can still open or close the power sunroof for several minutes after you switch 

off the ignition, as long as the driver or front passenger door has not been opened.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WARNINGS

Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can cause sudden tire failure, loss 

of control, collision, serious personal injury or even death.

•  When the warning symbol appears in the instrument cluster, stop and inspect 

the tires. 

•  Incorrect tire pressure and/or underinflation can cause increased tire wear and  

can affect the handling of the vehicle and stopping ability.

•  Incorrect tire pressures and/or underinflation can also lead to sudden tire failure,   

including a blowout and sudden deflation, causing loss of vehicle control.

•  The driver is responsible for the correct tire pressures for all tires on the vehicle.   

The recommended tire pressure values are listed on a sticker inside the  

driver door.

•  The TPMS can only work correctly when all tires on the vehicle are filled to the   

correct cold-tire inflation pressure specified for the tires installed on the vehicle.

•  Using incorrect tire pressure values can cause accidents or other damage. Check 

the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold. Never reduce air pressure in 

warm tires to match cold-tire inflation pressure.

•  Always inflate the tires to the correct specified cold-tire pressure values for the  

tires installed on the vehicle; see the tire inflation pressure label on the driver 

door jamb.

•  Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct tire pressure before  

driving off.

•  Driving with underinflated tires causes them to flex (bend) more, letting them  

get too hot, resulting in tread separation, sudden tire failure, and loss of control.

•  Excessive speed and/overloading can cause heat build-up, sudden tire failure  

and loss of control.

•   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. 

•  The armrest can affect the elbow room of the driver and thus cause accidents  

and severe injuries. Always keep the armrest closed while driving.

MEMORY SEAT WARNINGS

Improper use of seat adjustment controls can cause severe personal injuries.

•  Before starting to drive always sit properly at all times before starting to drive and 

while the vehicle is moving. This also applies to all passengers.

•  Adjust the memory seat only when vehicle is not moving and at a safe distance 

from moving traffic.

•  Keep hands, fingers, feet and other body parts away from moving parts and  

adjustment areas of the seats.

NAVIGATION WARNINGS

Operating the radio navigation system while driving can distract from traffic and 

lead to accidents.

• Observe legal regulations.

• Always drive attentively and responsibly.

• 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.

CLIMATRONIC

 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 

for 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.

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.

IPOD

 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.

BLUETOOTH

®

 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.
