SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
If the driver of the vehicle is distracted, this may lead to an accident or injury. Operating the
ZENEC system can distract attention from the general traffic situation! Equally, connecting,
changing or inserting data media can distract the driver from the general traffic situation.
CAUTION
Always choose loudspeaker settings such that acoustic signals coming from outside can always
be heard in the vehicle (e.g. signal horns or sirens).
CAUTION
Incorrect installation or commissioning of the ZENEC system may cause damage to the ZENEC
system or to the vehicle electronics. Only let qualified specialists authorized by ZENEC install the
device.
CAUTION
This ZENEC system is intended solely for operation at an on-board voltage of 12 V DC. Operating
the ZENEC system at any other voltage can cause damage to the ZENEC system or to the
vehicles electrical system.
CAUTION
Taking apart or modifying the ZENEC system can result in damage to the device or the vehicle.
Opening the device or modification by a person not authorized by ZENEC will render warranty
claims null and void.
In the event of a malfunction or defect please contact an authorized ZENEC dealer. Unauthorized
repairs will render warranty claims null and void.
CAUTION
Route recommendations and displayed traffic signs on the ZENEC system may differ from the
real situation. Traffic signs and traffic regulations have precedence over route recommendations
and indications of the ZENEC systems.
Speed data displayed in the navigation system corresponds to the permitted speed limit. Please
adjust your speed and driving behavior to the prevailing visibility, weather, road, and traffic
conditions.
CAUTION
The connection and charging leads of external mobile devices can get in the way of the driver.
Please run these so that the driver's freedom of movement is not hindered.
NOTE
The ZENEC system supports functions like multi-function steering wheel, display of air
conditioning settings or optical parking system and multi-function display support. All of them are
in dependence to the vehicle and can only be used, when they are provided by the vehicle.

Drehregler links gedrückt halten, bis sich das ZENEC-System ein- oder ausschaltet
(Abb. S/01 )
Automatische Ein-/Ausschaltung
Fahrzeuge mit CAN-Bus Anbindung: Bei Einschalten der Zündung wird das ZENEC-System
aktiviert. Der Bootvorgang kann max. 1,5 Minuten in Anspruch nehmen. Dies kann zur Folge
haben, dass das System nur mit Verzögerung einsatzbereit ist. Das Ausschalten des ZENEC-
Systems wird durch das Ausschalten der Zündung oder Abziehen des Zündschlüssels aktiviert.
HINWEIS
Für eine Nutzung des Multifunktionslenkrads sowie weiterer Fahrzeugfunktionen wird ein
fahrzeugspezifisches CAN/Stalk Interface benötigt. Weitere Informationen erhalten Sie bei einem
autorisierten ZENEC-Fachhändler.
DIEBSTAHLSICHERUNG
Das ZENEC-System ist mit einer Diebstahlschutzfunktion ausgestattet. Ist diese aktiv, werden Sie nach
Trennung der Stromversorgung bei erneutem Einschalten des ZENEC-Systems aufgefordert, das von
Ihnen hinterlegte Password einzugeben.
Um das Passwort zu ändern:
Bedienungsanleitung  Einstellungen  Geräte Konfiguration  Help  Passwort
HINWEIS
Bewahren Sie das
Passwort sorgfältig auf.
Bei einem Verlust des
Passworts muss das
ZENEC-System ausgebaut
und zur Freischaltung des
Diebstahlschutzes an den
ZENEC-Service
eingesendet werden.
Dieser Dienst ist
kostenpflichtig!
ANTI-THEFT PROTECTION
NOTE
Keep your password safe. If the password is
lost the ZENEC system must be uninstalled,
