>Do not write on CDs or affix labels to them
>If necessary, wipe the reflective (data) side of the CD with a suitable cleaning cloth (commercialy available), wiping in straight lines from the center outward

To save on the battery, you should always turn the radio off when
leaving the vehicle.<
Turn the knob.
As soon as you begin talking on the phone or accept a call, the radio
switches to mute.<
Adjusting the speed-dependent volume
To compensate for increasing noise in the passenger compartment with increased vehicle speed, your unit is equipped with a speed-dependent volume control (Speed Volume). This function will increase volume as speed likewise increases.
You can set the volume increase in 6 levels. The higher the level you choose, the greater the increase in volume.

VARYING THE VOLUME
Adjusting the volume for navigation*
If your vehicle is equipped with a navigation system, you can adjust the minimum volume for announcements of this system with the NAVI MIN function. You can select a level between –9 and +9, where the level 0 corresponds a moderate volume.
As the individual levels are fixed volumes, you will hear all announcements, regardless of how soft you have set the current volume for the radio, CD changer or CD.
1.Call up the current setting
Press and hold the key.
The display changes to the operating display for TONE LIN:
2. 
press repeatedly until the display changes to the operating display for NAVI MIN, e.g.:
3.Make adjustment
Turn until the desired volume is reached.
The selected level will be indicated in the display
The selected minimum volume is retained for all navigation announce-
ments.
If you have set the current volume for the radio, CD changer or CD louder than the NAVI MIN volume, then the volume does not change during an announcement.<
The volume of an announcement can be adjusted in each individual case with the volume knob. You can, for example, decrease the volume if you have set a very loud basic volume for the radio, CD changer or CD, or if you increase it when, for example, you have opened a window and the interior noise level is very high.
Turn during a navigation announcement until the desired volume is set.
4. Exit operating display
