tions.
The radio, amplifier, CD changer, satellite ra-
dio, telephone*, navigation module and

When one of the components is not operati

This condition might seriously impair the
operating safety of your vehicle.
We recommend that you have any service

only by qualified personnel.

lead to an accident, the driver should enter

While the navigation system provides direc-

driving.

information on stop signs, yield signs, traffic
regulations or traffic safety rules. This al
