Technical information should always be available to the foremen and mechanics, because their
careful and constant adherence to the instructions is essential to ensure vehicle road-worthiness and
safety. In addition, the normal basic safety precautions for working on motor vehicles must, as a
matter of course, be observed.

These control units communicate with each other via different bus

How audio output functions:
Depending on the equipment and the actively selected source,
the digital audio signal can be generated by different control units.
If the DVD changer, for example, is selected as the source, it
reads out the audio signal on the CD.

The background noise is recorded by the interior microphone -
R74- , which is built into the roof console and is directly connected
to the digital sound package control unit -J525- or the radio -R- .
The degree of noise compensation can be adjusted. The input is
evaluated by means of the information electronics control unit 1 -
J794- and is then sent via the optical bus to the digital sound
package control unit -J525- or the radio -R- .
On the basis of these values, the digital sound package control
unit -J525- or the radio -R- adjusts the volume in the vehicle.
As the travelling speed increases, the volume of quite music in
creases more than the volume of loud music.
This process of adaptation always takes place on the basis of the
volume set by the customer. The volume is not reduced to a level
lower than that set by the customer.
2.2 Anti-theft component protection

When control devices of the radio/navigation system are re
placed, it is necessary to train the replaced control devices to
match the vehicle. If this is not done, component protection is ac
tivated for these control devices. Then, they do not function or
their functioning is severely restricted.
The following components of the radio/navigation system have
component protection:
Display unit for control device of front display and information
control panel -J685-
Information electronics control unit 1 -J794-
Radio -R-
DVD changer -R161-
2. Radio navigation system RNS 850 3

The multifunction steering wheel allows some functions of the
communication system and the cruise control system to be se
lected from the steering wheel.

transmitter and receiver unit.
Remote controls (e.g. garage door opener) and cordless units

(e.g. keyboard) may only be used in the vehicle if the trans
mitted output is max. 100 mW.
An e identification is required for mobile two-way radios (ap
plies for Europe only).
Mobile telephones or other transmitting equipment (business
equipment) which are not original vehicle equipment parts
must have CE identification (applies to Europe only).
It is absolutely necessary to observe the manufacturer's op
erating and installation instructions for mobile telephones, two-
way radios and aerials.
The optimum unit range can be attained only by using an ex
ternal aerial.
When telephone and two-way radio systems are properly in
stalled, there is no danger to safety systems like, for example,
ABS or airbags. However, it is a prerequisite that there has
been no modification of their installation. Routing wiring par
allel to such systems must be avoided.
When mobile telephones or two-way radios are used, exces
sive electromagnetic fields may occur in the vehicle interior
whether or not the external aerial has been properly installed.
In this case, detrimental effects to health as well as malfunctions
of vehicle electronics cannot be ruled out.

13.1.2 The installation and operation of two-

way radios (transmitting power above
10 watts) for the radio communication
services listed in the table are permitted
only under the following conditions:
The transmitting power at the point of the aerial base (see unit
manufacturer's specifications) must not exceed the relevant
maximum values.
No deviation from aerial locations listed in the table is permit
ted.

Batteries must be disconnected before repair work is begun!
Electrical system; Repair Group 27; Starter, current supply; Bat

fault finding and Fitting locations.
For removing and installing trim, observe workshop manuals
"General body repairs, interior" or "General body repairs, exteri

Observe manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for
mobile telephones, two-way radios and aerials.
Secure wiring harnesses with cable ties. Wrap connectors with
foam tubes to avoid rattling noises.

14 Suppression measures
14.1 Suppression measures

All electrical consumers in the vehicle are individually suppressed
at factory.
This includes all sensors, actuators and all electrical motors in the
vehicles as well as the controllers in the control units which might
create high-frequency interference.
To suppress interference, electrical components such as capac
itors, coils and diodes are directly installed in the electrical com
ponents.
Interference-suppressing components are also installed in the
connector housings of electrical consumers.
The earth cables formerly employed for noise suppression are no
longer used because noise suppression measures need to be
applied very close to the sources of interference.
