The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
Radio reception DAB allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single fre-
quency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also allows for the transmission of
additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather, warnings, etc.).
Note
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can interfere with the radio signal
even causing it to fail completely.■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the AF and RDS settings. Otherwise, these settings can affect
the functionality of the radio.
■
For vehicles with window antennas, if the windows have foil stuck to them or
metal-coated stickers this may cause you to experience some interference.

The Telephone menu is available when the following conditions are met: The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function on the device is switched on.
After the device is switched on, the system attempts to connect to the most re- cently connected telephone 1)
.
If a telephone is connected to the device and the device is turned off, the connec- tion to the telephone is not lost. The connection is only lost after switching off
the ignition (for vehicles with the system KESSY after switching off the ignition
and opening the driver's door).
WARNING■ The national regulations for using a mobile phone in a vehicle must be ob-
served.■
If a mobile phone or a two-way radio system is operated in a vehicle without
an external aerial or an external aerial which has been installed incorrectly,
this can increase the strength of the electromagnetic field inside the vehicle.
■
Two-way radio systems, mobile phones or mounts must not be installed on
airbag covers or within the immediate deployment range of the airbags.
■
Never leave a telephone in the deployment area of an airbag, on a seat, on
the dash panel or in another area, from which it can be thrown during a sud- den braking manoeuvre, an accident or a collision - risk of injury. There are
storage compartments with lids and if necessary there is the multimedia stor-
age compartments to hold this » Vehicle owner's manual , chapter Practical
equipment.
■
Before transport of the vehicle by air, the Bluetooth ®
function must be
switched off by a specialist company.
CAUTION
■ In areas with no signal and possibly in tunnels, garages and subways a tele-
phone conversation can be interrupted and no telephone connection can be es-
tablished - not even in an emergency!■
The range of the Bluetooth ®
connection to the hands-free system is limited to
the vehicle interior. The range is dependent on local factors, e.g. obstacles be-
tween the devices and mutual interferences with other devices. If your telephone
is in a jacket pocket, for example, this can lead to difficulties when establishing a connection with the device or transferring data.

notes .
The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite system for navigation.
The satellite signal allows you to determine your current vehicle position.
If the unit is outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegeta-
tion, in tunnels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions
using on-vehicle sensors.
Navigation is done: › by graphical instructions in device display screen and in the display of the in-
strument cluster;
› by announcements.
The navigation unit can be operated: › using the buttons on the unit
» page 51;
› using the function keys in the unit screen
» page 51;
› using voice control
» page 17.
› via the display of the instrument cluster
» page 14 .
WARNING■
E.g. information about traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and
stopping restrictions as well as lane constrictions or speed restrictions is not
detected for navigation by the device.■
Always adjust the driving speed to the road, traffic and weather conditions.
■
The nav. announcements provided may vary from the actual situations, e.g.
due to road works or out-of-date navigation data.
■
The volume should be adjusted to ensure that acoustic signals from outside,
e.g. sirens from vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambu-
lance and fire brigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.
CAUTION
In some countries, some unit features can no longer be selected when the vehicle
is running faster than a certain speed. These limitations comply with national le-
gal requirements.
