the functions.

The system enables you to quickly and easily operate the

electronic features of your vehicle from a central control
console. The following functions can be operated on
correspondingly equipped vehicles:

However, this quick reference guide is not meant to

replace the Operating Instructions, since there you can
find more detailed information and notes about operating
the system.
