4IntroductionIntroductionBefore using the unit for the first timeBefore using the unit for the first time, carry out the following steps. Thiswill enable you to use the unit safely and make full use of the functions itprovides:
Take the basic safety notes into account  ⇒ page 4.
Familiarise yourself with the unit overview ⇒ page 6.
Use suitable data media for media mode ⇒ page 19.

Safety notes
WARNINGAny distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury. Operatingthe radio system could distract you from the traffic.●
Always stay alert and drive responsibly.

Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).

Setting the volume too high may cause damage to your hearing. Thisalso applies if the device is set to high volumes for a short period.
WARNINGThe volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source orconnect a new audio source.●
Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connectinga new audio source.
WARNINGThe connection, introduction or removal of data media whilst driving maydistract you from the traffic, causing an accident.WARNINGConnecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.●
Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.WARNINGExternal devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-cured could be flung through the interior of the vehicle during a suddendriving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident and causedamage or injury.

Never fit external units on the doors, windscreen, on or near the areamarked with the word “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the dash panel,seat backrests or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. In thecase of an accident, external units can cause serious injury, particularlywhen the airbags inflate.
WARNINGOpening the housing on a CD player can lead to injuries from invisible la-ser radiation.●
Only have CD players repaired by a Specialised workshop.

11Audio modeRDS and automatic station tracking (only in FM)
RDS is a radio data service which makes it possible to receive additionalservices such as the display of station names, automatic station tracking(AF) and the TP function (Traffic Program ⇒ page 17).
With automatic station tracking, when the vehicle is in motion the stationalways changes to the frequency with the best reception in that moment. Ifthe reception is poor, the unit may be muted for a short time as it searchesfor alternative frequencies (AF).
RDS does not exist everywhere nor is it available for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is possible that the RDS and thealternative frequencies (AF) are deactivated ⇒ page 30.

Changing frequency band
The currently selected frequency band (FM or AM) is indicated above thestation display.

In Radio mode, briefly press the RADIO ⇒ Fig. 1 equipment button to dis-play the function buttons FM1, FM2, AM1, AM2, DA1* and DA2* ⇒ Fig. 2.

Press one of the FM or AM function buttons to switch to the DAB*, FM orAM frequency band.

OR: Press the RADIO unit button as often as required to switch betweenthe frequency bands and memory levels.

15Audio modeDigital radio mode* (DAB, DAB+ and DMB-
Audio)
Operation
Fig. 12
DAB radiomode
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is adigital broadcasting standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB, DAB+ and DMB-Audio broadcast-ing standards.
In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via Band III (174 MHz to 240 MHz)and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz) frequencies.
The frequencies of the two bands are referred to as “channels” and oneeach has a suitable channel name (e.g. 8A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional servicesavailable in a station “ensemble”.
The main view of DAB radio mode shows the name of the channel and thechannel's international ID, which appears above the station name in thecentre of the display.
DAB is currently not available in all areas. When in DAB radio mode in areaswith no DAB reception, it displays: .
DAB announcements
DAB announcements are additional DAB services also transmitted by radio(e.g. News, sports information, weather, warnings, etc.).
Note
The channel name, an indication that appears above the station's name,varies depending on the country, for example “FU-E”, but not the channel'sinternational ID, for example “11B” ⇒ Fig. 12.

Automatic station tracking
DAB programme tracking
Some DAB stations are broadcast in different regional ensembles.
If the current station is no longer available in your location, the unit may al-so switch to a corresponding partner station.
DAB programme tracking can be switched off in DAB settings ⇒ page 30 ifyou do not want automatic station switching because only brief receptionlosses are occurring due to the vehicle passing through tunnels, for exam-ple. The radio will be muted if reception is too weak.
Change from DAB to FM
Under DAB setup, the unit can be configured to switch to the FM frequencyband when required for automatic station tracking ⇒ page 30.
If reception of the currently selected DAB station is lost (e.g. no DAB availa-ble), the unit attempts to find the station on the FM frequency band andtune to it. Automatic station tracking between frequency bands only works ifthe DAB station and the FM station transmit the same station identifier orthe DAB signal indicates a corresponding station on the FM frequency band.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is lost and the station cannot befound on the FM frequency band, the radio will be muted.

17Audio modeTP (Traffic Program) function
Introduction
The TP function is an RDS radio data service.
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP), traffic announcements willinterrupt the current Audio mode.
On the AM frequency band, traffic news monitoring is not possible.

Monitoring traffic news stations using the TP function
Fig. 14
TP functionactive.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if the TP stationis available.
Some stations that do not broadcast their own traffic news support the TPfunction through a link to a traffic news station (EON). Traffic announce-ments broadcast by the linked traffic news stations interrupt the current au-dio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off

Press the unit button TP ⇒ Fig. 1
7
.
If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TPfunction, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TPSEEK).

Press the TP unit button to switch the TP function off again.
When in areas without TP coverage the TP function is activated, and searchis begun for a traffic news station, ending in the failure to find a station. Thesearch then returns to the station to which it was originally tuned. The TPfunction remains switched on (display: No TP). It is necessary to deactivatethe TP function, otherwise no stations will be found in the subsequentsearch using the arrow buttons.
TP function activated
While traffic news monitoring is switched on and enabled, TP is displayed⇒ Fig. 14.
In radio mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a sta-tion selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support theTP function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station searchusing the arrow buttons  ⇒ Fig. 1
10
and  ⇒ page 10.
During a station search with the arrow buttons or the scan function (SCN),the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
In Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will automatically tune toa traffic news station in the background, provided the TP station available

They are only available for radio models with DAB.
Functional mode description of speed-dependent volume adjustment(GALA)
The GALA function automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speedof the vehicle.
The degree to which the volume increases with speed (GALA) is set on ascale between 1 and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases only slightly as the speed of thevehicle increases. At a high setting the volume increases further. At 0,speed-dependent volume adjustment is switched off.
