Introduction
Introduction Gener a
l operating information
Safety notes Travelling on today's roads requires the driv-
er's
f

ull attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● Bef

ore starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to
you and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
dis
tinguish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the
car i
s stopped or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an ac c

ident and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. ●
Sel ect

volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● If you set the volume excessively high you
ma
y suffer damage to your ears. This can also
happen if you are exposed to an excessively
high volume even for a short time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y ou sw

itch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio sourc
e or connecting a new audio
source ››› page 7. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whi l

e driving can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
o b

struct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not o
bstruct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are loose or not proper-
ly sec

ured could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vr
e, or in the ev

ent of an accident.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the doors, on the w
indscreen, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, on the dash panel, on the seat backr-
ests or between these areas and the passen-
gers. These units may cause serious injury in
the event of an accident, especially if the air-
bag is activated. WARNING
The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm mo v

ements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehic
le is in motion. Note
● Not in

serting the data medium correctly, or
inserting unsuitable data media, may damage
the unit.
● When inserting the memory card, make
sur
e it is in the correct position ››› page 21
● If you push too hard, you could damage the
lock
on the memory card slot.
● Only use suitable memory cards.
● The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged
if the
volume is too high or the sound is dis-
torted. 6

Introduction
●
Lightly pr
essing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the unit.
● It is possible that not all the functions and
fu

nction buttons are available as the software
of the unit responds to the specific character-
istics of each market. A missing function but-
ton on the screen is not the result of an error
in the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
fu

nctions cannot be selected on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile telephone inside the vehicle
can c
ause noise in the speakers.
● There may be restrictions on the use of
Bluetooth dev
ices in some countries. Infor-
mation is available from the local authorities.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking
dis
tance warning system, the volume of the
audio source is automatically lowered when
the gear is engaged.
● If the steering wheel has a voice control
butt
on , it will not work in this radio mod-
el, so it has no function in relation to the ra-
dio. Rotary knobs and buttons

Radio
Radio Data Services RDS (FM band) Fig. 10
Radio text. Fig. 11
Filter (PTY). The RDS (Radio Data System) offers addition-
al
inf
ormation in FM such as the visualisation
of the station name, automatic station track-
ing (AF), text broadcast by radio (Radio Text
››› Fig. 8), traffic announcements (TP) and sta-
tion type (PTY). Not all units have RDS, nor do all FM stations
offer thi

s service.
Without RDS it is not possible to obtain radio
data services.
Station name and automatic station tracking
When the RDS is available, you can view the
names of the stations providing this service
in the RADIO main menu and in the list of FM stations .
The FM stations send different contents un-
der one name (for example, Radio 3) in vari-
ous regional frequencies, provisionally or
permanently ››› Fig. 8.
When driving, the automatic station tracking
automatically changes to the frequency that
provides the best reception of the currently-
selected station. However, this can interrupt
the regional station currently tuned.
The automatic change of frequencies and au-
tomatic station tracking can be linked
through the FM setup ››› page 16.
Set a station name
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.
A dot will appear/disappear to the left or
right of the station name. Radio text
Some RDS-en
abled stations also broadcast
additional text information known as radio
text.
Filter by station type (PTY)
With the RDS activated, stations may provide
information on their broadcast content
(news, music, culture, etc.). As seen in figure
››› Fig. 11, it is possible to filter stations by
their content. Note
● The br o

adcasting companies are responsi-
ble for the content broadcast.
● 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). The TP button will
not function in these countries. 12

Radio
Digital radio mode (DAB, DAB+ and
DMB audio)* Fig. 12
Main DAB RADIO menu. The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the
s
t
andards DAB, DAB+ and DMB audio.
In Europe, digital radio broadcasts on fre-
quencies from band frequency III (174 MHz
to 240 MHz) and band frequency L
(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”.
DAB is not currently available in all areas . In
DAB Radio mode, it will show when you are in
an area with no DAB service . Starting DAB radio mode

The D AB r

adio station that was last selected
will be played if it can still be received at the
current location.
The station selected at that time is shown on
the top line of the screen. The selected En-
semble of stations is displayed below
››› Fig. 12.
Additional DAB stations
Some DAB stations temporarily or perma-
nently offer additional programmes , (for ex-
ample, for broadcasting sports events).
Additional stations are selected in the same
way as the conventional DAB stations. How-
ever, these are differentiated in the station
list by the icon 2nd.
The name of the additional available station
is displayed in the main DAB menu next to
the symbol .
The additional stations cannot be stored.

t
o FM
In

DAB setup/Advanced settings you
can change to the FM frequency band for au-
tomatic station tracking.
When the DAB station you are listening to
can no longer be received (for example, due
to DAB no longer being available), the unit
will try to locate and tune in this station in
the FM band frequency.
For station tracking across various frequen-
cies, the DAB station and the FM station must
broadcast the same station code, or the sta-
tion in FM that corresponds to the equivalent
in DAB, must be indicated through the DAB.
Once the corresponding FM station has been
found, (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. Note
The radio stations are responsible for the
c ont

ent broadcast. 13

mob
ile telephone immediately. CAUTION
High speeds, poor weather or road conditions
and the qua lity

of reception can all affect the
quality of a telephone conversation in the ve-
hicle. Note
● Re

strictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities. 26
