CONNECTING YOUR BLUETOOTH EQUIPPED

mode for five minutes.

be necessary on your specific device).

WARNINGS:
Accidents and injuries can occur if the driver is distracted. Speaking on or using a phone while driving can distract
the driver from traffic.
• Use of Bluetooth technology requires a compatible phone.
• Select the volume settings so that the acoustic signals from the outside are still audible (for example, the sirens
of emergency rescue vehicles). Observe legal regulations.
• In areas with no or poor mobile network coverage and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways, phone
conversations may be interrupted, and it may be impossible to make phone calls—even emergency calls!
• In some countries, emergency calls may only be supported when the mobile phone is connected to a mobile phone
package which has a SIM card that is “not blocked” and/or has sufficient credit on it.
• Unmounted or improperly mounted mobile phones can fly around in the event of a sudden driving or braking
maneuver or an accident. This may cause injuries.
• Never place or mount a mobile phone on doors, on the windshield or on or near the area on the steering wheel
marked “AIRBAG,” the instrument panel, the seat backrests or the areas between these points and the
driver/passengers. Mobile phones can lead to serious injuries in cases of accidents, especially when the airbags
are inflated.
• Always switch off your mobile telephone at gas stations or wherever there is a fire or explosion hazard.
Electromagnetic radiation can cause sparks which can start fires.
• The mobile phone will automatically connect to the mobile network when the Bluetooth connection to the mobile
phone package is disconnected. Using a radio device in the vehicle without a connection to an external antenna
might exceed electromagnetic radiation thresholds. This also applies if the external antenna is not installed properly.
• Keep a distance of at least 8 inches between the antennas of the mobile phone and a pacemaker, since mobile
phones can affect the functionality of a pacemaker.
• Do not carry a mobile phone on standby mode in the breast pocket directly on top of a pacemaker.
• If interference is suspected, immediately switch off the mobile phone.
• The center armrest can interfere with the driver’s elbow movement and thus cause accidents and severe injuries.
Always keep the armrest closed while driving.
CLIMATRONIC SYSTEM WARNINGS:
Poor visibility increases the risk of collisions and other accidents that cause serious personal injuries.
• Always make sure all windows are clear of ice, snow, and condensation for good visibility to the front, sides, and rear.
• Maximum heating output and defrosting performance are not possible until the engine has reached operating
temperature. Wait until you have good visibility before driving off.
• Always make sure you know how to properly use the heating and ventilation systems as well as the rear window
defogger that you will need for good visibility.
• Never use air recirculation for long periods of time. When the air conditioner is off and recirculation mode is on,
condensation can quickly form on the windows and greatly reduce visibility.
• Always switch off recirculation mode when it is not needed. Stale air causes driver fatigue and reduces driver
alertness, which can cause accidents, collisions and serious personal injury.
• Never switch off the fan for a long period of time and never use air recirculation for a long period of time because
no fresh air will enter the passenger compartment.
KEY FOB WARNINGS:
Improper use of vehicle keys can result in serious personal injury.
• Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. It can be used to start the engine and operate vehicle
systems such as the power windows, leading to serious personal injury. Children or other unauthorized persons
could also lock the doors and the luggage compartment.
• Never leave children, disabled persons, or anyone who cannot help themselves in the vehicle. The doors can
be locked with the remote control key. This could result in people being trapped in the vehicle in an emergency.
For example, depending on the time of year, people trapped in the vehicle can be exposed to very high or very
low temperatures. Heat build-up in the passenger and luggage compartment of a parked vehicle can result in
temperatures in the vehicle that are much higher than outside temperatures, particularly in summer. Temperatures
can quickly reach levels that can cause unconsciousness and death, particularly to small children.
• Never remove the key from the ignition switch while the vehicle is moving or rolling to a stop. The steering wheel
will lock and you will not be able to steer or control the vehicle.
