Introduction11
Adjusting the base volumeAt “0” the unit is muted (display:
) and any media source currently being
played will be stopped.
Changes to the volume are indicated by a “bar” on the screen.
It is possible to preset certain volume settings and adjustments ⇒ page 34.
Caution
If the volume is too high or the sound is distorted, the vehicle speakers may
be damaged.
Note
If the base volume has been considerably increased on the radio system to
play a certain audio source (e.g. due to very quiet audio output from an
external audio source), lower the volume again before switching audio
source.

Text information, known as radio text, can also be broadcast. It is possible to
adjust the display to show radio text ⇒page 34. Radio text will then be
shown instead of the station name. Not all stations support radio text. The
individual radio station is responsible for the texts displayed.
RDS also allows “automatic station tracking”. This means that the unit always
switches to the frequency that offers the best reception of the current radio
station as the vehicle travels from one area to the next. It is possible to
suppress automatic frequency changing ( ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY

⇒ page 34.
On some units it is possible to switch off the RDS function for travel in areas
where RDS is not used ⇒page 34.

Some stations that do not have their own traffic news support the TP function
by broadcasting traffic announcements from other stations (EON). Traffic
announcements broadcast by the linked traffic stations interrupt the current
Audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off•Press the unit button ⇒ page 8, fig. 1.•If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the
TP function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK ).•The TP function is switched off by pressing the unit button.
TP function activated
While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active, TP is displayed at the
top left of the screen ⇒page 16, fig. 9 .
In FM mode , the selected station must support the TP function. If a station
selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TP
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 search using the
rocker switch ⇒ page 13.
During a station search with the arrow buttons or the scan function (SCAN),
the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will always
automatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided the
reception of said station is good. This may take some time depending on the
situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selected traffic news
station is displayed next to TP ⇒ page 16, fig. 10 .
Incoming traffic announcement (INFO)An incoming traffic announcement (display: TP-INFO) will interrupt the active
Audio mode.•If required, the radio is switched to the traffic news station (EON) for the
duration of the traffic announcement.•The Media mode will be paused and the volume will be adjusted to the
preset level.•During a traffic announcement, the traffic announcement volume setting
can be adjusted with the volume control
 . The adjusted setting will be
applied to subsequent announcements.
•Interruption by a traffic announcement can be stopped by pressing the
unit button. The TP function remains active and the next traffic announce-
ment will again interrupt the current Audio mode.Media modeIntroduction“ Media sources ” are audio sources containing audio files on various different
data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be played by
the radio system from its corresponding players or audio input sockets
(internal CD player , external CD changer, AUX-IN multi-media socket).
