Operating safety
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi-
cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
Observe the legal requirements of the coun-
try in which you are currently driving.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only 50 km/h,
your vehicle covers a distance of nearly 14 m
per second.
When using the device please follow:
Rthe safety information in these instructions
Rtraffic rules and regulations
Rmotor vehicle laws and safety standards
iImproper work on electronic components
or other systems (such as the radio and
disc slot) and their software may result in
malfunction or failure. Even systems that
have not been modified could be affected
because the electronic systems are con-
nected. Electronic malfunctions can seri-
ously jeopardize the operational safety of
your vehicle.
Always have all work on or modifications to
electronic components carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Proper use
Audio 10 can be used to receive radio stations
and to play back SD memory cards and other
data carriers. Additionally, Audio 10 can
make calls via the Bluetooth®function.
Observe the specified requirements for data
carriers and permissible formats.

There are two ways of pairing:
RBluetooth®pairing: Audio 10 searches for
the Bluetooth®device and starts the pair-
ing process
RBluetooth®external: the Bluetooth®
