General operating information
Introduction
Depending on the vehicle you can also change the track or station and ad-
just the volume using the multifunction steering wheel ⇒ Booklet Instruc-
tion manual, chapter Overview of the vehicle.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 6
● Unit overview ⇒ page 8
Additional display information
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning set-
tings or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be tem-
porarily displayed on the screen. These displays disappear automatically
when they are no longer required.
Note
● Only a small amount of pressure is needed to operate the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions may not be availa-
ble 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. Rotary/push knobs, unit and function buttons
Overview
●
Rotary/push knobs.
● Labelled unit buttons (hard keys).
● Function buttons (soft keys).
Rotary/push knobs
The left-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ fig. 1 1
is referred to as the volume con-
trol  or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ fig. 1 8
is referred to as the setting
knob.
Unit buttons and function buttons
The system labelled buttons are called “unit buttons”, e.g. SOUND
button
⇒ fig. 1.
There are six unlabelled unit buttons below the screen ⇒ fig. 1 7
. These
are known as “function buttons” because their function depends on the ac-
tive function mode.
The current function of a function button is displayed just above the button
in the bottom line of the screen (e.g. ⇒ fig. 6). 
Switching on and off
● To switch the unit on or off manually, briefly press the rotary/push knob
 ⇒  fig. 1.
When 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 or START-VOL
⇒ page 40). 

of the unit shows all the possible versions ⇒ fig. 1.
How the Radio mode is activated and operated depends partly on the ver-
sion of the unit.

Selecting the memory level
Fig. 7 Select the frequency band and memory level.
For each frequency band available (for example, FM and AM) there are dif-
ferent memory levels (in fig. 7: FM1
, FM2 and AM1, AM2).
Each memory level shows six function buttons to store and tune in the radio
stations. These function buttons are called “station buttons”. When you change to Radio mode, the available memory levels are shown
first
⇒ fig. 7 and then, after 5 seconds, the station buttons of the memory
level selected ⇒ fig. 8.
Changing the memory level in Radio mode

When you change the memory level you can also change the frequency
band ⇒ page 13.
You can assign stations to the station buttons of a memory level either man-
ually or automatically ⇒ page 15. 

● The station that is currently playing (on fig. 8: 89.9MHz) will be memo-
rised on this preset button.
The station button to which the station currently playing is assigned is dis-
played underlined on the screen.
Storing stations automatically (AUTOSTORE)
The Autostore function automatically stores the stations with the strongest
reception at the current moment to the six station buttons in the currently
selected memory level.
● Select the frequency band and memory level.
● Press the MENU
⇒ 
fig. 1 2 unit button to open the additional functions
⇒ fig. 6.
● Press and hold the AUTOSTORE
function button until
AUTOSTORE appears

stored, AUTOSTORE disappears from the display.
Tuning in to stored stations
● Select the frequency band and memory level in which the desired sta-
tion is stored.
● Briefly press the station button that displays the desired station.
Depending on the setting you can go through the stored stations of a fre-
quency band with the rocker switch  SEEK / ... 
⇒ fig. 1 (SETUP: SEEK MODE
PRESET ⇒  page 40).
It is only possible to play a stored station if it can be received at your current
location.
Note
The stored stations are overwritten if, in the same memory level, another
station is stored in a station button that is already in use. 

18Audio mode
TP traffic news station function (Traffic Programme)
Fig. 10 Traffic news monitoring in Media mode.
The TP (Traffic Programme) function is not available for all versions.
When the radio version does not have the traffic news reception function,
no action is taken when the TP
button is pressed (
TP is not displayed in the
upper left of the screen).
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP ⇒ fig. 9), traffic announce-
ments will interrupt the current Audio mode.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if a traffic news
station is available.
Some stations that do not have their own traffic news support the TP func-
tion by broadcasting traffic announcements from other stations (EON). Traf-
fic announcements broadcast by the linked traffic stations interrupt the cur-
rent Audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the unit button TP
⇒ fig. 1
2.
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). While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active,
TP is displayed at
the top left of the screen ⇒ fig. 9.
● Press the TP
unit button to switch the TP function off again.
Active TP function and station selection
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 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch ⇒ fig. 1 ⇒  page 13.
During a station search with the  SEEK / ... 
rocker switch or the scan func-
tion (SCAN), the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
If you activate the TP function in areas where TP is not available, it will be-
gin to search for traffic news stations but it will not be able find any. The
search will finish on the last station you were listening to. The TP function
will remain on (display: No TP). We recommend you deactivate the TP func-
tion, otherwise in the next station search with the  SEEK / ... 
rocker switch
no stations will be found.
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 ⇒ fig. 10.
In units with a DAB radio receiver, depending on the settings, the traffic an-
nouncements from a DAB traffic news station can be played ( DAB TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCEMENT ON ⇒ page 40).
Reception of traffic announcements (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display: TP-INFO) will interrupt the active
Audio mode. 
