External audio source audio volumeIf an external audio source (e.g. an MP3 player
or iPodŸ) is connected to the AUX input then
the audio source that is connected can have a
different volume than the audio system's inter-

3.
Turn TUNE to adjust the volume for the
AUX input.
NOTE
If the external audio source's volume is too
high or too low, the quality of the sound may
deteriorate. The audio quality may also be
impaired if the player is charged while the
infotainment system is in AUX mode. In
which case, avoid charging the player via
the 12 V socket.
Optimum sound reproductionThe audio system is pre-calibrated for opti-
mum sound reproduction by means of digital
signal processing.
This calibration takes into account loudspeak-
ers, amplifiers, passenger compartment
acoustics, listener position etc. for each com-
bination of car model and audio system.
There is a also a dynamic calibration that takes
into account the position of the volume control,
radio reception and vehicle speed.
The controls explained in these operating
instructions, e.g.
Bass, Treble andEqualizer, are only intended for the user to beable to adapt the sound reproduction accord-
ing to personal taste.

Station list1
The radio automatically compiles a list of the
strongest FM stations whose signals it is cur-
rently receiving. This enables you to find a sta-
tion when you drive into an area where you do
not know the radio stations and their frequen-
cies.
To go to the list and select a station:
1.
Select the desired wavelength (
FM1 orFM2).
2.
Turn TUNE one step in either direction.
This displays the list of all stations in the
area. The currently tuned station is indi-
cated with enlarged text in the list.
3.
Turn TUNE again in either direction to
select a station from the list.

NOTE
•The list only shows the frequencies of
stations that are currently being
received, not a complete list of all radio
frequencies on the selected wave-
length.
•If the signal from the currently received
station is weak, this may prevent the
radio from updating the station list. If
this occurs, press the
button
(while the station list is shown in the dis-
play screen) in order to change to man-
ual tuning and set a frequency. If the
station list is no longer shown, turn
TUNE one step in either direction to
show the list again, and press
to
switch.
The list disappears from the TV screen after a
few seconds.
If the station list is no longer shown, turn
TUNE one step in either direction and press the
button in the centre console to change
to manual tuning (or to return from manual tun-
ing to the function for "Station list").
Manual tuningThe preset from the factory is that the radio
shows the station list of the strongest stationsin the area when you turn TUNE (see the sec-
tion "Station list", page 225). When the station
list is shown, press the
button in the cen-
tre console to change to manual tuning. This
allows you to select a frequency from the list of
all available radio frequencies in the selected
wavelength. In other words, if turn TUNE one
step in a manual search the frequency is
changed from e.g. 93.3 to 93.4 MHz, etc.
To manually select a station:
1.
Repeatedly press on the RADIO button
until the desired wavelength (
AM, FM1etc.) is shown, release and wait a second
or press OK/MENU.
2.
Turn TUNE to select a frequency.
NOTE
The preset from the factory is that the radio
automatically searches for the stations in
the area where you are driving (see previous
section "Station list" above).
But if you have changed over to manual tun-
ing (by pressing the
button in the cen-
tre console when the station list was
shown), then the radio remains set in the
function for manual tuning the next time you
switch on the radio. To change back to the
function for "Station list", turn TUNE one
step (to show the complete list of stations)
and press the button
.
Note that if you press
when the sta-
tion list is not shown then INFO is activated.

Scan wavelengthThe function automatically searches the cur-
rent wavelength for strong stations. When a
station is found, it is played for approx. 8 sec-
onds before scanning is resumed. When a sta-
tion is playing back it can be saved as a preset
in the usual way, see the section "Pre-
set" above.

RDS functionsRDS (Radio Data System) links FM transmitters
into a network. An FM transmitter in such a
network sends information that gives an RDS
radio the following functions:
•Automatically switches to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.
•Searches for programme type, such as
traffic information or news.
•Receives text information on current radio
programme.
NOTE
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
If a required programme type is located the
radio can switch stations interrupting the audio
source currently in use. For example, if the CD
player is in use, it is paused. The interrupting
transmission is played at a preset volume, see
page 229. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and volume when the set pro-
gramme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (
ALARM!),
traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), and pro-
gramme types (PTY) interrupt one another in
order of priority, where alarm has the highest
priority and programme types has the lowest.
For additional settings of programming inter-
ruptions (
EON Distant and EON Local), see
the section "Enhanced Other Networks –
EON" below. Press EXIT to return to the inter-rupted audio source, press the OK/MENU to
clear the message.
AlarmThis function is used to warn of serious acci-
dents and catastrophes. The alarm cannot be
temporarily interrupted or deactivated. The
message
ALARM! appears on the TV screen
when an alarm message is transmitted.
Traffic information – TPThis function allows traffic information sent
within a set station's RDS network to break
through. The
TP symbol indicates that the
function is activated. If the preset station can
send traffic information then this is shown by
TP glowing brightly in the TV screen, otherwiseTP will be grey.

TP.
Enhanced Other Networks – EONThis function is useful in urban areas with many
regional radio stations. It allows the distance
between the car and the radio station trans-
mitter to determine when programme functions
should interrupt the current audio source.
