Introduction
10General operating informationIntroductionAdditional information:•Safety notes 
  ⇒ page 6
•System overview  ⇒page 8•Multi-function steering wheel for changing track or station  ⇒Booklet 
“Operating instructions”.
Additional display information
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning settings 
or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be temporarily 
displayed on the screen. These displays disappear automatically when they 
are no longer required.
All displays appear only after completely restarting the radio system.Caution
Only a small amount of pressure is needed to operate the unit.
Note
•Never press a button down for longer than 10 minutes. Otherwise the 
system will interpret this as a malfunction ( button jammed).•Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected 
on the screen when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.•Using a mobile phone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle 
speakers.•In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the 
volume of the current audio source is automatically lowered when reverse 
gear is engaged. This volume can be changed while reverse is engaged. If the  volume is not modified, when reverse is disengaged the previous volume 
setting is restored. If the volume is modified, when reverse gear is disen-
gaged the audio source will stay at the set volume and, as long as the 
maximum volume is not exceeded, it will be memorised for the next time 
reverse gear is engaged.
Switching on and offWhen the unit is switched on the system starts up. The last audio source used 
is played at the last selected volume setting, provided this does not exceed 
the preselected “switch-on volume” (
ON-VOL ⇒ page 34).
Energy management
If, when the ignition is switched off and the unit switched on, the battery 
voltage falls below the minimum onboard power supply voltage, a signal 
sounds and  LOW BATTERY  appears. You should switch the radio off.
If the battery voltage level continues to fall,  LOW BATTERY and RADIO OFF  are 
briefly shown on the display. The unit will switch off automatically.Function
Activation
Switch the unit on or off 
manually.
Press the rotary/push knob 
 .
After the ignition key is removed the unit 
switches off automatically after approx. 30 
minutes (switch-off delay).
Switch on the unit auto-
matically.
Insert the vehicle key into the ignition lock.
The unit switches on automatically if it was on 
when the ignition key was removed.
Switch off the unit auto-
matically.
Remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock.

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.
Names of controlsOverview•Rotary/push knobs•Labelled unit buttons  (hard keys).•Function buttons  (soft keys).
Rotary/push knobs
The left-hand rotary/push knob  ⇒page 8, fig. 1    is referred to as the 
volume control 
   or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob  ⇒page 8, fig. 1    is referred to as the 
setting knob.
Unit buttons and function buttons
The labelled buttons on the unit are referred to as “unit buttons” and are 
pictured as a button symbol with blue content, e.g. the   unit button.
There are six unlabelled unit buttons below the screen  ⇒page 8, fig. 1   . 
These unit buttons are referred to as “function buttons” as their functions 
change depending on the current operating state.
The current function of a function button is displayed just above the button in 
the bottom line of the screen (e.g. ⇒page 13, fig. 3 ).

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 
OFF) 
⇒ 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.
Changing frequency bandFig. 3  RADIO main menu: frequency bands displayed with memory levels.The currently selected frequency band (FM or AM) is indicated above the 
station display.
After you switch to Radio mode, the available frequency bands and memory 
levels are displayed for roughly 5 seconds in the bottom line of the screen 
⇒fig. 3 . Then they are replaced by the “station buttons” for storing stations 
(for information on station buttons see page 15).

Audio mode17
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).
