Safety instructions
Operation of the unit is permitted only if traffic conditions are suitable and you are absolutely sure that you, your
passengers or other motorists are not endangered, obstructed or inconvenienced.
In all cases, all applicable road traffic regulations must be obeyed. Destinations may only be entered when the vehicle is
stationary.
The navigation system is only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/entries. At all times, the driver must
decide whether or not to heed the information provided. We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the
navigation system.
Due to continual changes in traffic routing or deviations in the data, it may occur that imprecise or erroneous information
is given. Therefore, actual road signs and traffic regulations must always be observed. In particular, the navigation system
cannot be used as an orientation aid at times of poor visibility.
The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the radio, navigation system and telephone should be
adjusted so that external noise is still audible.
In the case of a malfunction (i.e. smoke or other noticeable odours) the unit is to be turned off immediately.
For safety reasons, the unit must only be opened by a trained technician. Please refer to your dealer for repair.

Information regarding general road safety
This car radio device is intended and approved for installation and operation in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and
buses (vehicle classes M, N and O) whose electric system has a rated voltage of 12V.
Installation and maintenance should only be carried out by specialists. Faulty installation or maintenance can result in
the malfunctioning of the motor vehicle’s electronic systems. The vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions must be
observed.
The vehicle’s electronics (e.g. speedometer signal) must only be worked on by an authorised service garage. We assume
no liability for any impairment of the vehicle’s electronics.
This device is only intended for installation in the area provided for this purpose by the vehicle manufacturer.
The method of attachment used must ensure that the device will remain properly attached, should the vehicle be involved
in a crash.
The power supply must be properly fused.
Using mobile phones without an external antenna in the proximity of the radio unit may cause interference.
Familiarise yourself with the device and how it works before embarking on your journey. Whilst on the move, only operate
the device in appropriate traffic conditions. The volume of the device should be set at a level that enables external noises
(e.g. police sirens) to be easily heard.
