Introduction
6IntroductionBefore using the unit for the first timeSafety notes
WARNING
Using the radio system while the vehicle is in motion can distract you from
the road and lead to accidents.•Observe legal requirements.•Always drive carefully and responsibly.•Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from
outside the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly secured
could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking
manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.•While the vehicle is in motion, always secure external devices properly
outside the airbag deployment zones.WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.•Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.•Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting a
new audio source ⇒page 11.WARNING
Opening a CD/DVD player's housing can lead to injuries from invisible laser
radiation.•Have CD/DVD players repaired only by a qualified workshop.

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.

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).

•Only external data devices or USB mass storage devices complying with
the USB 2.0 specification can be used.•Partition of an external data device shall be in accordance with the file
system, FAT16 (< 2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table).•MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) players, recognised by the commercial
name “PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista ”, are highly sensitive to factors
including the battery charge and the volume of data in the MEDIA-IN multi-
media interface requests. It may take several minutes before an MTP player is
ready to play.•When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex
data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it may
take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be influ-
enced by the connected device.•The structure of the folders in the external data device shall not exceed a
depth of eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1,000
entries.•The use of USB cable extensions and USB hubs may cause operating
errors.•If an external data device is divided into various partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.•Memory card adapters can not be used, their use may cause operating
errors.•If an MP3 player is updated via the manufacturer (firmware update) this
may lead to operating errors.•An external data device should be connected first or select the corre-
sponding data mode.•Compatible formats include: MP3, WMA, OGG-Vorbis, AAC.•Please refer to the respective manufacturer's manual for instructions on
the operation of the external data medium. Compatible file formats
The use of file formats which can be played on this equipment is the same as
for compressed audio files in MP3 format and will not be explained further in
this manual.
•The radio and navigation equipment can be used to play and control
audio files in MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC format from an external data
device.•Playlists in PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL format are compatible.•W M A ( W i n d o w s M e d i a A u d i o ) a u d i o f il e s ca n o n l y b e p la y e d i f t h e y a r e n o t

Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist is not played, check whether the “route data”
is correct, that is, whether the MP3 files are stored in the data device to which
the playlist refers.WARNING

devices.•The connection of USB devices is sensitive to interference from mobile
telephones. Mobile telephones should not be left next to the USB when
this is connected, to prevent distortion.•The connected audio devices must be protected from possible mechan-

fere with driving and could result in serious injury.
