tion to any relevant tra
c signs. If you want
to drive into one of these regions, inform
yourself in advance whether radar sensors
are installed in your vehicle.
WARNING
Sensors are subject to physical system
limits. E
xternal sources of interference,
e.g. from other vehicles, can impair func-
tioning of the sensors and restrict the
functions of the assistance systems. If the
system does not function as expected,
this can lead to accidents and serious or
fatal injuries.
·
Always pay attention to the trac sit-
uation and the area around the vehicle.
·
Ensure that your speed and driving style
are always appropriate for the current
visibility, weather and road/trac con-
ditions.
Infotainment system and an-
t
ennas
The aerials for the Infotainment system are
installed at dierent points in the vehicle:
— In the exterior mirrors.
— On the roof of the vehicle.
— On the inside of the rear window.
— On the inside of the rear side windows.
Aerials on the interior of the windows can
be identified as thin wires.
If the vehicle equipment includes aerials in-
stalled in the exterior mirrors, subsequent
metal chrome-plating of the exterior mir-
rors, e.g. with chrome-plated design caps,
can cause significant interference or loss of
the receive and transmit properties of ra-
dio, mobile communications and navigation
services.
NOTICE
Aerials located on the inside of the win-
dows c
ould be damaged by corrosive or
acidic substances or if hard objects rub
against the window.
·
Never ax stickers over metal wires.
·
Never clean the a
erials with corrosive or
acidic agents.
NOTICE
A retrofitted Infotainment system tha
t is
not compatible with the aerial amplifier in-
stalled as standard may damage the aerial
amplifier.
·
Consult a suitably qualified workshop
before retrofitting an Infotainment sys-
tem.
Component protection
Some electronic components and con-
trol units are fitted with c
omponent
protection as standard, e.g. the Info-
tainment system.
The component protection permits a suita-
bly qualified workshop to legitimately in-
stall or replace components and control
units.
The component protection prevents the
factory-supplied components from being
operated without restrictions outside the
vehicle in the following situations:
— Installation in other vehicles, e.g. aer
the.
— Operation of components outside the ve-
hicle.
If a text message about component pro-
tection appears in the display of the instru-
ment cluster or the screen of the Infotain-
ment system, go to a suitably qualified
workshop.
