General information
The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
Using the FM, AM or DAB radio
functions, you may register up to 35
stations on seven favourites pages.
For the AM, FM and DAB wavebands
the radio is equipped with fifteen
automatically assignable channel
presets. Furthermore, 35 channels
can be allocated manually
(waveband-independent).
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 cable or via
Bluetooth.
Using the controls and menus of the
Infotainment system, you can operate
approved smartphone applications,
e.g. a navigation app.
In addition the Infotainment system is
equipped with a phone portal that
allows for comfortable and safe use of
your mobile phone in the vehicle.
Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using the controls on
the steering wheel.
The well-thought-out design of the
control elements, the touch screen
and the clear displays enable you to
control the system easily and
intuitively.
Important information on
operation and traffic safety
9Warning
The Infotainment system has to be
used so that the vehicle can be
driven safely at all times. If in doubt
stop your vehicle and operate the
Infotainment system while the
vehicle is stationary.

Introduction 5

Theft-deterrent feature
The Infotainment system is equipped
with an electronic security system for
the purpose of theft deterrent.
The Infotainment system therefore
