General information

The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.

Using the FM, AM or DAB radio
functions, you can register a great
number of stations on various
favourites pages.

You can connect external data
storage devices, e.g. iPod, USB
devices, or other auxiliary devices to
the Infotainment system as further
audio sources; either via a cable or
via Bluetooth.

The digital sound processor provides
you with several preset equaliser
modes for sound optimisation.

In addition, the Infotainment system is
equipped with a Phone portal that
allows comfortable and safe use of
your mobile phone in the vehicle.

Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using the control
panel or the controls on the steering
wheel.

Note
This manual describes all options
and features available for the
various Infotainment systems.
Certain descriptions, including those
for display and menu functions, may
not apply to your vehicle due to
model variant, country
specifications, special equipment or
accessories.

Important information on
operation and traffic safety

9 Warning

Drive safely at all times when
using the Infotainment system.

If in doubt, stop the vehicle before
operating the Infotainment
system.

9 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

Introduction 103

marked on the map. In such areas
the Infotainment system may
issue a warning that must be
accepted. Here you must pay
particular attention to one-way
streets, roads and entrances that
you are not allowed to drive into.

Radio reception

Radio reception may be disrupted by
static, noise, distortion or loss of
reception due to:

■ changes in distance from the
transmitter,

■ multi-path reception due to
reflection,

■ shadowing.

Theft-deterrent feature

The Infotainment system is equipped
with an electronic security system for
the purpose of theft deterrence.

The Infotainment system therefore
functions only in your vehicle and is
worthless to a thief.
