11Audio modeRDS and automatic station tracking (only in FM)
RDS is a radio data service which makes it possible to receive additionalservices such as the display of station names, automatic station tracking(AF) and the TP function (Traffic Program ⇒ page 17).
With automatic station tracking, when the vehicle is in motion the stationalways changes to the frequency with the best reception in that moment. Ifthe reception is poor, the unit may be muted for a short time as it searchesfor alternative frequencies (AF).
RDS does not exist everywhere nor is it available for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is possible that the RDS and thealternative frequencies (AF) are deactivated ⇒ page 30.
Changing frequency band
The currently selected frequency band (FM or AM) is indicated above thestation display.

Audio)
Operation
Fig. 12
DAB radiomode
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is adigital broadcasting standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB, DAB+ and DMB-Audio broadcast-ing standards.
In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via Band III (174 MHz to 240 MHz)and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz) frequencies.
The frequencies of the two bands are referred to as “channels” and oneeach has a suitable channel name (e.g. 8A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional servicesavailable in a station “ensemble”.
The main view of DAB radio mode shows the name of the channel and thechannel's international ID, which appears above the station name in thecentre of the display.
DAB is currently not available in all areas. When in DAB radio mode in areaswith no DAB reception, it displays: .
DAB announcements
DAB announcements are additional DAB services also transmitted by radio(e.g. News, sports information, weather, warnings, etc.).
Note
The channel name, an indication that appears above the station's name,varies depending on the country, for example “FU-E”, but not the channel'sinternational ID, for example “11B” ⇒ Fig. 12.
Automatic station tracking
DAB programme tracking
Some DAB stations are broadcast in different regional ensembles.
If the current station is no longer available in your location, the unit may al-so switch to a corresponding partner station.
DAB programme tracking can be switched off in DAB settings ⇒ page 30 ifyou do not want automatic station switching because only brief receptionlosses are occurring due to the vehicle passing through tunnels, for exam-ple. The radio will be muted if reception is too weak.
Change from DAB to FM
Under DAB setup, the unit can be configured to switch to the FM frequencyband when required for automatic station tracking ⇒ page 30.
If reception of the currently selected DAB station is lost (e.g. no DAB availa-ble), the unit attempts to find the station on the FM frequency band andtune to it. Automatic station tracking between frequency bands only works ifthe DAB station and the FM station transmit the same station identifier orthe DAB signal indicates a corresponding station on the FM frequency band.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is lost and the station cannot befound on the FM frequency band, the radio will be muted.

16Audio modeStarting station update (UPDATE)
During the station update, the unit scans the groups of stations currentlyavailable in the location and saves their position to make it easier to switchamong available groups using the arrow buttons or .
●
Press the MENU ⇒ Fig. 1 unit button in Radio mode.
●
Press the UPD unit button to update the stations. The top line of the dis-play will show UPDATE as the channel, whereas the international IDs areshown in the centre line (e.g. “11B”).
●
The station update ends when UPDATE is no longer shown in the top lineof the display.
The radio will be muted during station update.

Introduction
The TP function is an RDS radio data service.
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP), traffic announcements willinterrupt the current Audio mode.
On the AM frequency band, traffic news monitoring is not possible.

TP functionactive.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if the TP stationis available.
Some stations that do not broadcast their own traffic news support the TPfunction through a link to a traffic news station (EON). Traffic announce-ments broadcast by the linked traffic news stations interrupt the current au-dio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
●
Press the unit button TP ⇒ Fig. 1
7
.
If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TPfunction, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TPSEEK).
●
Press the TP unit button to switch the TP function off again.
When in areas without TP coverage the TP function is activated, and searchis begun for a traffic news station, ending in the failure to find a station. Thesearch then returns to the station to which it was originally tuned. The TPfunction remains switched on (display: No TP). It is necessary to deactivatethe TP function, otherwise no stations will be found in the subsequentsearch using the arrow buttons.
TP function activated
While traffic news monitoring is switched on and enabled, TP is displayed⇒ Fig. 14.
In radio mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a sta-tion selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support theTP 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 searchusing the arrow buttons ⇒ Fig. 1
10
and ⇒ page 10.
During a station search with the arrow buttons or the scan function (SCN),the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
In Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will automatically tune toa traffic news station in the background, provided the TP station available

Incoming traffic announcement (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display: INFO) will interrupt the activeaudio mode.
●
If required, the radio is switched to the traffic news station (EON) for theduration of the traffic announcement.
●
The Media mode will be paused and the volume will be adjusted to thepreset level.
●
During the announcement, the announcement volume can be adjustedwith the volume control ⇒ Fig. 1

. The adjusted setting will be appliedto subsequent announcements.
●
Interruption by a traffic announcement can be stopped by pressing theTP unit button. The TP function remains active and the next traffic an-nouncement will again interrupt the current Audio mode.
