The salon equipment

Heating сидений*


For heating of a pillow and a seat back it is necessary to turn preliminary the ignition key in position 2.

Consecutive pressing of a key allows to choose one of three operating modes:

Control lamps do not burn: the heating of seats is switched off.

One control lamp burns: a normal mode of heating. The heating is switched off automatically.

Two control lamps burn: fast heating. Switching on a normal mode of heating is made automatically.

Sun-protection curtain back стекла*


For inclusion of a drive of a curtain press a key. The drive works already after ignition key turn in position 1.

On an illustration the arrangement of keys is presented at a full complete set. This arrangement can be other depending on volume of a complete set of the car.

Radio receiver and audiosystem of class Hi-Fi*


Hi-Fi An audiosystem harman kardon

With each pressing of a key the system joins or, accordingly, is switched off.

At the included system there is an acoustic effect of spatial increase in salon at simultaneous improvement of effect of stereosounding on all places.

At bad quality of reception the system is often switched from a stereo mode to a mode моно and back. In this case switch off system.

Radio reception


Quality of reception and sound reproduction by an automobile radio receiver depends on remoteness of radio station, and also from car position at reception and aerial orientation.

Despite faultless protection against the hindrances created by systems of the car, in the course of reception during movement there are the extraneous noise caused by external influences which sources are high-voltage electric mains, structures or natural obstacles in a way of radio-waves. (The big intensity of a sunlight, a fog, a rain or a snowfall) also can stir natural influences to radio reception.

Automobile firm BMW automobile or portable phones also can appear sources of hindrances. These hindrances are shown in a kind низкотонального buzzes of loudspeakers.

Installation and order of the reference with a radio receiver are described in the instruction applied on them.


Ranges of average, long and short waves provide the big range of reception as radio signals extend not only as the superficial waves which are bending around the Earth, but also as the spatial waves reflected by an ionosphere.

In VHF a range (FM) better quality of reproduction of a sound, than on any other waves is provided considerably. However the radius of action of the radio stations working in this range, is limited owing to rectilinear distribution of ultra-short waves.

Certain restrictions in reception partially are compensated by "smart" systems.

System RDS (Radio Data System) provides an automatic choice of frequency with the highest quality of reception if the radio station conducts an announcement on several frequencies.

The method разнесения aerials means that some aerials are built in back glass for reception of ultra-short waves. Thus, in the car is available three aerials independent from each other. The built in processor automatically chooses that aerial which provides the best reception of ultra-short waves. Switching from the aerial on the aerial is made for считанные milliseconds and is absolutely imperceptible for the listener.

Ware box


Opening

Pull for the handle. Box illumination thus will join.

Closing


Slam a cover movement upwards.

Lock-out


For box lock-out it is necessary to take advantage of a key from the uniform lock. After that to unlock it it will be possible also only a key from the uniform lock.
