Audio and Media Mode
RDS radio data services (FM band) The RDS (Radio Data System) offers addition-
al
inf
ormation in FM such as the visualisation
of the station name, automatic station track-
ing (Alternative Frequencies AF), text emitted
by radio (Radio Text), traffic reports (TP) and
station types (PTY).
Due to matters of infrastructure, RDS func-
tions may be limited in certain countries, and
you may not be able to receive traffic an-
nouncements, automatic station tracking (AF)
or programme types (PTY).
Depending on the country and the unit in
question, the RDS can be deactivated in the FM setup menu ›››
page 24.
Without RDS it is not possible to use radio
data services.
Name of the station and automatic station
tracking
If equipped with the RDS function, the names
of the stations can be displayed in the main
RADIO menu and in the FM station list .
FM radio stations may occasionally or contin-
uously broadcast different content on differ-
ent regional frequencies under the same sta-
tion name (e.g. Station 3). By default, automatic station tracking always
sw
it

ches to the currently selected station's
frequency that offers the best reception, as
the vehicle travels from one area to the next.
As a result, this may cause the regional sig-
nal to be lost.
Automatic frequency changing and automatic
station tracking can be deactivated in FM setup ››› page 24.
Set a station name 1)
In some cases the name of the station is too
long. This text may be blocked/unblocked by
pressing on the station name for 3 seconds
until hearing an audible signal (a dot will ap-
pear/disappear on the left and right of the
station name).
Radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast
additional text information known as radio
text.
Radio Text is displayed in the upper half of
the screen above the memory buttons
››› Fig. 10 A .
The R a

dio Text display can be deactivated in
FM setup ››› page 24. Note
Radio stations are responsible for the content
of the inf

ormation they transmit. Station list order

Audio and Media Mode
Digital radio mode (DAB, DAB+ and
audio DMB) Fig. 13
Display of memory buttons in DAB
mode. Fig. 14
Display of station information in DAB
mode. The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
D
AB+ and DMB-Audio br
oadcasting stand-
ards. In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
Band III fr

equencies (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred
to as “channels” and each has a channel
name (e.g. 12 A ).
Several available DAB stations are combined
into one channel in an “ensemble”.
Starting Digital radio mode ● From the RADIO main menu pr
ess the BAND function button and select
D
AB .
The D AB r
adio station that was last selected
will be played if it can still be received at the
current location.
The selected DAB station is displayed in the
upper bar of the screen; the group of selec-
ted stations is displayed below ››› Fig. 13.
Additional DAB stations (Secondary Service
Components)
Some DAB stations temporarily or perma-
nently offer additional stations , (for example,
for broadcasting sports events).
DAB stations containing additional stations
are identified in the station list by means of
the symbol . Selecting additional stations
From the main screenPress the name of the main
station
Press the memory button of
the main station
From the station listSelect the additional station
from the list
The DAB main menu shows the name of the
a
d

ditional selected station on the right
alongside the abbreviated name of the main
DAB station.
The additional stations cannot be stored.
Automatic station tracking: change from DAB
to FM
DAB is currently not available in all areas . In
areas without DAB, 
is displayed in DAB ra-
dio mode.
Automatic station tracking can be activated
in DAB settings to change to the FM fre-
quency band ›››
page 25.
If reception of the currently selected DAB sta-
tion is lost (e.g. no DAB reception available),
the Infotainment system attempts to find the
station on the FM frequency band and tune to
it. Automatic station tracking between fre-
quency bands only works if the DAB station
and the FM station transmit the same station
identifier or the DAB signal indicates a corre-
sponding station on the FM frequency band.
20

Audio and Media Mode
Once the corresponding FM station has been
f ou
nd, (FM) is displayed after the station
name. When reception for the corresponding
DAB station returns, the unit will switch back
to DAB mode after a short time. The (FM)
display is hidden.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is
too weak and the station can no longer be
found on the FM frequency band, the radio
will be muted.
Automatic station tracking: “Soft linking ”1)
This allows service providers to indicate alter-
native stations with similar content. This way,
if the radio loses reception of a DAB station
and cannot find an alternative frequency for
it on FM or DAB, there is a possibility of tun-
ing in to a station with similar content.
