This manual describes all the standard

purchase. Country-specific differences are

possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle

here. This also refers to safety-related

systems and functions.

Overview

Operating Safety

G

WARNING

Please devote your attention first and

foremost to the traffic situation you are in.

While the system permits hands-free phone

operation, attention to traffic may be diverted

not only by physical operation of a phone, but

also by the distraction of a phone

conversation while driving. As such, for safety

reasons, we encourage the driver to stop the

vehicle in a safe place before answering or

placing a phone call.
For safety reasons, you should only select a

destination when the vehicle is stationary.
While the navigation system provides

directional assistance, the driver must remain

focused on safe driving behavior, especially

pay attention to traffic and street signs, and

should utilize the system's audio cues while

driving.
The navigation system does not supply any

information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic

regulations or traffic safety rules. Their

observance always remains in the driver's

personal responsibility. DVD maps do not

cover all areas nor all routes within an area.
Traffic regulations always have priority over

any route recommendations given.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph

(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is

covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately

14 m) every second.

G

WARNING

Navigation announcements are intended to

direct you while driving without diverting your

attention from the road and driving.
Please always use this feature instead of

consulting the map display for directions.

Consulting the symbols or map display for

directions may cause you to divert your

attention from driving and increase your risk

of an accident.

WARNING

Please do not use the Voice Control System

in an emergency, as the tone of your voice

involved in an accident.
