Caution
•Inserting a new CD while an inserted CD is being ejected can destroy the 
CD drive in the unit. You must wait until the CD is ejected before trying to 
insert a new CD.•Do not press buttons or keys forcefully, otherwise an imperfection may 
occur. Light pressure is sufficient to operate the unit. The rotary/push knobs 
have breaking points to reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.•Do not use pointed or sharp objects on  the touch screen. Lightly pressing 
with your finger is enough. The screen indication that it cannot be activated 
by pressing with your finger is not available.•Please not that a defective navigation data medium can serious impair 
the speed and functions of the navigation system  page 49.•Refer to the notes on requirements for data media, folders and playlists 
 page 25.Note
•The unit can play audio files from various different data media 
 page 25.•The navigation system takes a few seconds to process complicated oper-
ations. During this time, the unit may appear not to respond to further opera-
tion of the controls. When this occurs, do not continue to operate the 
controls, as the unit “remembers” any commands and will “work through” 
them in the order they were given when the current processes have been 
completed.•Interference noise may be heard when using a mobile telephone in the 
vehicle.•In vehicles with a window aerial, the reception could be impaired if foil or 
metal-coated stickers are attached to the windows.•In some vehicles with a parking distance warning system*, the volume of 
the audio source currently playing is automatically reduced when the vehicle  is put into reverse gear so that the driver can hear the acoustic signals given 
by the parking distance warning system.
•In vehicles with an optical parking system*, a visualisation of the detec-
tion range of the parking distance warning system is also shown on the 
screen.•If changes have already been made to the basic settings, you may find 
that some aspects of the unit's operation differ from the descriptions given in 
this manual  page 11, “Resetting the unit to the factory settings”.

6Operation whilst the vehicle is in motion Travelling on today's roads requires the dri ver's full attention at all times.
WARNING
It is fundamental that you are sufficiently alert while driving. Any distrac-
tion may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.•Never lose sight of the road while using the equipment.•Use the equipment only when the state of the road, the weather and 
traffic conditions permit.•When adjusting the volume, keep in mind that signals from outside the 
vehicle, such as a police or fire brigade horn, must be audible at all times.Note
Depending on the country, some functions of the radio and navigation 
system may not be available on the screen above a certain speed. This is not 
an error, but rather compliance with the legal requirements of the country.Switching on or off– Briefly press the on/off switch  page 3, fig. 1    to switch on 
the unit. The system will initialise and the latest settings will 
load. The most recently used audio source is activated.
– To turn off the equipment, briefly press the on/off button again.
When the unit is switched on, the last audio source used is activated at the 
most recent volume setting, provided this does not exceed the pre-selected 
“ switch-on volume ”  page 12.
Switch-off delay
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the unit is switched off. You 
can then switch the unit on again. The equipment automatically switches off 
after 30 minutes, so as to not drain the vehicle's battery.
Convenience radio coding
If the equipment has been removed and then reinstalled in the vehicle, or if 
the battery has been disconnected, it is no longer necessary to manually 
deactivate the antitheft codification, since the code remains in the vehicle 
memory after entering it the first time.
If the code numbers do not match, however, e.g. because the unit has been 
installed in another vehicle, the electronic lock must be released manually 
 page 88, “Entering the PIN”.

Some functions are immediately started and stopped by pressing a button, 
for example the scan function  page 17, “Scan function”.
Other additional functions and displays can be permanently enabled or disa-
bled. These function buttons appear with a “checkbox”.
A tick in the checkbox 
 indicates that the function is enabled, and an empty 
checkbox 
 indicates that it is disabled  page 7, fig. 2 .
For instance, traffic news monitoring   or station button display in Radio 
mode   page 9, fig. 3    can be enabled or disabled  page 7, 
fig. 2 .
Any functions enabled by checkbox can only be disabled by opening the pop-
up window again and pressing the respective checkbox.

ance systems3). These displays disappear automatically when they are not 
longer required.

nation of the functions available. An explanation of the individual steps can 
be found in the following chapters.
Altered display appearance
The unit's software may have been modified with vehicle-specific updates 
since the publication of this operating manual. if this is the case, the names 
of certain function button and the display colours may differ from the descrip-
tions given in this operating manual.Resetting the unit to the factory settingsIt is possible to reset the radio-navigation system to its orig-
inal state as described in this manual.If changes have already been made to the basic settings, you may

– Press the function button  , 
,   or 
 to open the corresponding 
settings menu.
– Turn the setting knob or use the   or   function buttons to alter  the current setting. The graphic scale shows the adjustment of 
the setting  page 12, fig. 6 .
To give you an idea of the changes you are making when adjusting the volume 
settings, the current audio source is played at the adjusted settings while you 
make an adjustment.
Changes to tone, volume and volume distribution always apply to all audio 
sources.
Functional description of speed-dependent volume control (GALA)
You can set the degree to which the volume increases with speed (GALA) on 
a scale between  1 and 7. At 0, speed-dependent volume control is switched 
off (display:  Off).
The noise level in the vehicle increases with vehicle speed. The GALA function 
automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speed of the vehicle.
If a low value is set, the volume rises only slightly when the speed of the 
vehicle increases.
If a high value is set, the volume rises significantly when the speed of the 
vehicle increases.
In this way you can always adjust the GALA function in each situation in the 
most optimum manner (for example, if driving with the windows open or if the 
vehicle is equipped with a roof carrier).
The basic volume is still changed with the volume control  page 3, fig. 1

– If the currently selected station supports radio text, the text will be displayed below the station name. Note that no station 
buttons will appear while radio text is displayed.
– You can switch off radio text display by pressing the   button  again.
Adjusting station tracking settings (SETUP)
–In the RADIO  main menu, press the   button to open the 
Radio  settings menu.
– The press the   function button and press an 
option to select   or   in the pop-up window by 
pressing  page 22, “Station tracking and RDS regional”.RDS and radio text
The station names of RDS-compatible radio stations are displayed on the 
screen provided the reception is strong enough.
Some RDS-compatible stations also transmit additional text known as radio 
text. Radio text can also be displayed on the screen.
Not all radio stations support RDS and radio text.
The individual radio station is responsible for the information displayed.
Changing stored radio station names
If an RDS-compatible radio station broadcasts additional information (radio 
text) while the station is being stored, the name of the radio station may 
subsequently be incorrectly displayed.
In this case, you can change the displayed station name manually.
Select the stored station and wait until the correct name appears on the 
screen. If you then briefly press th e setting knob, the text currently displayed 
on the screen will be stored as the station name. Station tracking and RDS regional 
FM radio stations broadcast under the same name on several different 
regional frequencies. Some of these “broadcasting stations” temporarily or 
always broadcast different content according to region under the name 
name.
As the default setting, the automatic station tracking always switches auto-
matically to the radio station's frequency that offers the best reception, as the 
vehicle travels from one area to the next (setting: 
  ). 
This can, however, result in a regional radio programme being interrupted as 
the unit switches to another frequency with a better reception, on which the 
same radio station is broadcast fr om a different regional broadcasting 
station.
If you change the setting to   when travelling through the broadcasting 
range of a radio station, the radio-navigation system will attempt for as long 
as possible to tune only to alternative frequencies for the selected regional 
broadcasting station.
