Safety instructions
WARNING
Your attention may be distracted from the traffic if you use the radio and
navigation system while driving, resulting in accident.
● 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).
● If the volume is too high, you could damage your hearing. Even if the
volume is too loud for a short period only.
WARNING
The recommendations and traffic signs shown by the navigation system
may differ from the true traffic conditions.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommen-
dations and displays provided by the navigation system.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to visibility, road, traffic and
weather conditions.
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung though the interior and cause injuries during a sud-
den driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
● While the vehicle is in motion, always fasten or store external devices
securely outside the airbag deployment zones.
● Arrange the connecting leads of external devices so that they do not
obstruct the driver.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.

RDS radio data and TP (Traffic Programme)
services
Introduction
The RDS (Radio Data System) offers additional information in FM such as the
visualisation of the station name, automatic station tracking (Alternative
Frequencies), text emitted by radio (Radio Text) and traffic reports (TP).
Not all units have RDS, not all the FM stations offer this service and nor can
the infrastructure of all the countries permit it.
Without RDS it is not possible to obtain radio data services .

Note
The radio station is responsible for the content of the broadcast informa-
tion. RDS and radio text

menu with station name
display and TP function
activated.
If the RDS service is available and the quality of reception is good enough,
the station name may be displayed in Radio mode ⇒ Fig. 15.
Automatic station tracking
Some FM stations broadcast different content (temporary or permanent) on
different wavelengths using the same name depending on the region.
By default, automatic station tracking always switches to the currently se-
lected radio station's frequency that offers the best reception, as the vehicle
travels from one area to the next. As a result, you may lose the regional pro-
gramme you are listening to. The automatic change of station can be de-
leted using the setting menu Radio ⇒ page 17.
Display and delete the radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text.
● In the RADIO main menu, press the 
unit button.
While radio text is switched on  is shown at the top right of the screen. 

Audio mode
TP function on
Irrespective of the currently selected station, an additional component of
the receiver ensures that a station which broadcasts traffic programmes is
always received.
While the Media mode is on, it will always try to tune in to a traffic station in
the background.
If the traffic news tracking function is available, TP is displayed on the upper
right corner of the screen ⇒ Fig. 17.
When no radio stations are received, for example, when the reception is
generally poor, No TP is displayed. 
Incoming traffic announcement

An incoming traffic announcement will interrupt the active audio mode. ●
A pop-up window opens ⇒ Fig. 18.
● If required, the radio-navigation system is switched to the traffic news
station (EON) for the duration of the traffic announcement.
● The media mode is paused and the volume is adjusted to the preset lev-
el ⇒ page 102.
● If the traffic announcement volume is adjusted with the volume con-
trol , this setting will be retained for future announcements.
● Pressing the Cancel
function button stops the current traffic announce-
ment.
● The TP off
function button permanently deactivated the TP function. 

DAB digital radio mode
Introduction
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is a
broadcasting standard for the overland reception of radio programmes

Note

Operation
In Europe, digital radio has two DAB broadcasting standards, DAB+ and
DMB radio. The digital radio broadcasts on frequencies from waveband III
(174 MHz to 240 MHz) and waveband L (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “channels”, and are abbreviated
accordingly (for example, 12 A).
In one channel, several DAB stations join together with the additional avail-
able services, forming an “ensemble” or “set”.
These additional services are used to send additional information to the ra-
dio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.). DAB is currently
not available in all areas. When the DAB radio mode is ac-
tive, in areas where DAB is not available, the symbol of an aerial crossed
out is displayed.
Depending on the settings, in DAB mode incoming DAB messages are
played (for example, news, sport, weather forecasts, warnings, etc.)
⇒ page 25.
As a general rule, while you are driving the DAB tracking function changes
to the channel of the currently playing digital station with the best recep-
tion. This permits additional settings to be made ⇒ page 25.
Note
If the symbol of a crossed-out aerial is displayed “”, this indicates that
the currently playing digital station on the channel selected is no longer
available in this location.
Note
Some digital stations also offer the radio text service. This is activated in
exactly the same way as for a conventional radio station ⇒ page 19.
Note
The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the DAB and DAB+ standards. 

ton in the pop-up window ⇒ Fig. 19.
When in DAB radio mode, the last played digital station will be played, pro-
vided reception is still possible in the current location ⇒ Fig. 20.
The selected ensemble is displayed in the upper line of the screen (Ensem-

Changing DAB stations
● Briefly press one of the unit's arrow buttons ⇒ Fig. 1 3
.
After you have reached the last (or first) DAB station in the currently selec-
ted ensemble, the unit changes to the first (or last) DAB station of the next
ensemble.
Please note ! If  is displayed, the unit will only analogically tune into
the stations stored in the station buttons in FM radio mode ⇒ page 12.
Activate additional DAB stations
If an additional station is available for the currently playing DAB station, the
corresponding display will be visible below the station name.
It is possible to tune into all the available additional stations, switching
from one to the next.
● Briefly press the setting knob ⇒ Fig. 1 3
to change to the next available
additional station.
● Alternatively: if the station has been allocated to a station button, brief-
ly press this button ⇒ page 12.
After scanning through all the additional stations, the unit will switch back
to the main station. 
