RDS is a European service provided
by broadcasting companies, which
makes finding the required FM station
much easier and aids good reception.
RDS stations transmit information
which is automatically evaluated by
the RDS radio.
In some areas, other functions
associated with RDS are available,
e.g. TA (Traffic Announcement) and
REG (Regionalisation).
AF (Alternative Frequency)
An RDS program is transmitted on
several frequencies simultaneously.
With AF on, during the journey the
Infotainment system automatically
searches for the strongest receivable
frequency.
REG (Regionalisation)
Some RDS stations transmit different
regional programs over different
frequencies at certain times.
With REG on, when searching for the
frequency of a radio program with the
strongest reception using AF (Alternative Frequency), the
Infotainment system always remains
tuned to the selected regional
program.
With REG off, when searching for the
frequency of a radio program with the
strongest reception using AF
(Alternative Frequency), the
Infotainment system does not
consider regional programs.
Switching AF and REG on and off
Settings appears in the following
order when the AF button 7 is
pressed repeatedly:
„AF on/REG off,
„AF on/REG on,
„AF off, REG off.
With AF and/or REG active, “AF” and
“REG” appear in the display
respectively.PTY (Program Type)
Many RDS stations transmit a PTY
code that indicates the type of
program being broadcast

7-8 Infotainment system
(e.g. News). The PTY code enables
selection of the station according to
program type.
Searching for stations by
program type

PTY mode.
Turn the bVOLUME rotary knob f
to select the desired PTY (e.g. News,
Sports).
Press the hbutton j or
gbuttoni to begin search within
the selected PTY.
If no station within the selected PTY
code is received, “NOTHING”
appears in the display followed by
“PTY”. Select another PTY as
described above.
TA (Traffic Announcement)
Traffic stations are RDS stations
which transmit traffic information.
With TA on, the Infotainment system
searches for stations emitting TP
(Traffic Programs) and tunes into
such stations in preference to others.When TA is active and a Traffic
Program is currently being received,
CD/MP3 CD 3 playback is
interrupted for the traffic
announcement and is resumed when
the announcement ends.
Switching TA on and off
Press the TA button 9 to switch on
traffic announcements.
With TA active, “TA” appears in the
display. When a Traffic Program is
currently being received, “TP” also
appears in the display.
Press the TA button 9 again to
switch off traffic announcements.
To search for a TP station (TP SEEK)
while TA is active, press the
hbuttonj or gbutton i.
If TP data is not received within
approx. 20 seconds after TA is
switched on, TP SEEK automatically
takes place only once.
If no TP station is received,
“NOTHING” appears in the display.
PS (Program Service Name)
Display of program name instead of
station frequency.
EON (Enhanced Other
Networks)
With EON, you will hear traffic
reports, even if the set station does
not transmit its own traffic
information. When a traffic
announcement is made, the unit
switches to a traffic information
station linked to EON.
When EON is active, “EON” appears

Maintenance
Air intake
The air intakes in front of the
windscreen in the engine
compartment must be kept clear to
allow air intake. Remove any leaves,
dirt or snow.
Pollen filter
The pollen filter cleans dust, soot,
pollen and spores from the air
entering from outside. Replace the pollen filter at the
intervals given in the chapter “Service
and maintenance” 311-2.

10-3Vehicle care
To close, lift bonnet slightly, release
the support rod from the hole and
press it back into its retaining clip.
Lower the bonnet gradually, allowing
it to drop from a height of approx.
30 cm.
Check that the bonnet is locked in
position before driving, by pulling at
its front edge. If it is not engaged,
repeat closing procedure.
Engine oil
Information on engine oil is in the
chapter “Service and maintenance”
311-6.
We recommend the engine oil level is
checked before starting a long trip.
The engine oil level must be checked
with the vehicle horizontal and with
the engine (which must be at
operating temperature) switched off.
Wait a few minutes before checking
the level to allow the normal oil
accumulation in the engine to drain
back into the oil pan.
Pull out dipstick from the tube, wipe it
clean and re-insert it as far as it will
go. After pulling the dipstick out again, check the engine oil level,
ensuring it is between the lower and
upper (MIN and MAX) marks.
The illustrations show checking the
engine oil in the K 10 B and K 12 B
petrol engines and the diesel engines
respectively.
Top up if the engine oil level has
dropped to the "add oil" lower mark
(MIN mark).
