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

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.

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).

DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837.
The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs.
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio
files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio
data CD”. Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage may
render a data medium unusable. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista
® ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Information can be found on th e Internet on the best ways to create
audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data
medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in a
playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data medium
at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).

Playing order for audio data CDsAudio files
on data media are often organised by means of folders
and
playlists
to determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order. Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the
sequence on the CD.
The illustration
⇒fig. 11 shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks
(titles), folders
and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in the
following order:
With regard to the playing order, playlists
are treated like folders.
