Important notes
What you need to know
Before using your new car audio system, please read through the following information carefully.
Traffic safety
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your responsibility to pay attention to the traffic situation at all times. Never use your car audio system in a way that could distract you.
Please keep in mind that you travel a distance of 14 m per second at a speed of only 50 km/h.
Should the traffic situation become particularly demanding, we advise you not to use the audio system.
Always make sure that you are still able to hear any warning signals coming from outside the vehicle, such as police or fire engine sirens, so that you can react accordingly.
Consequently, you should always select a moderate volume for playing your car audio system while you are driving.
Installation
If you would like to install your new car stereo yourself or add other audio components to existing ones, then please read the enclosed instructions on installation and connection carefully.
Telephone mute
If you have installed a car telephone in your vehicle, it is possible to automatically mute the radio or CD playback when you use the telephone (telephone mute). “PHONE” will then appear in the display.
