is damaged or dirty, the indications and information  
displayed on the screen may not be readable or  
may not be read correctly.  
In places where special regulations apply or the use  
of mobile telephony devices is prohibited, the device  
in question must always remain disconnected. The  
radiation emitted by the mobile phone device when it  
is turned on can cause interference to sensitive  
technical and medical equipment, and may even  
cause it to malfunction or break down.  
· The indications and information displayed on the  
screen must never lead to taking any risk that  
compromises safety. The display cannot replace  
the driver's attention.

normal in the case of very high or very low  
temperatures.  
· When the speakers and vehicle components  
necessary for radio reception are damaged, do  
not work, or do not have sufficient electrical  
power.  
· When infotainment is off.
