Radio data system
Radio data system (RDS) is a service of FM stations that considerably
improves the finding of the desired
station and its fault-free reception.
Advantages of RDS ● On the display, the programme name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
● During a station search, the Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.

Radio33● The Infotainment system alwaystunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set station by means of AF
(alternative frequency).
● Depending on the station received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain e.g. information on the current programme.
RDS settings To configure the RDS settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the FM waveband.
Select MENU in the interaction
selector bar to display the FM menu.RDS
Set RDS - On or RDS - Off .
Traffic Programme (TP)
Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If the traffic service is switched on, the
function currently active is interrupted for the duration of the traffic
announcement.
If the radio traffic service is activated,
[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station or media played is not a radio traffic service
station, [ ] is displayed and a search
is started automatically for the next
radio traffic service station available.
As soon as a radio traffic service
station is found, [TP] is highlighted. If
no radio traffic service station is
found, [ ] remains on the screen.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast
on the respective radio traffic service
station, a message is displayed.
To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated, dismiss the alert.
Set Traffic Programme (TP) - On or
Traffic Programme (TP) - Off .Region
Sometimes RDS stations broadcast
regionally different programmes on
different frequencies.
If regionalisation is switched on,
alternative frequencies with the same regional programmes are selected if
necessary. If regionalisation is
switched off, alternative frequencies
of the stations are selected without
regard to regional programmes.
Set Region - On or Region - Off .
Digital audio broadcasting DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.
Advantages of DAB ● DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.
● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcast on a single ensemble.
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated

34Radiodata and a multitude of other dataservices including travel andtraffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This can be avoided
by activating DAB to DAB
Linking and/or DAB to FM
Linking in the DAB menu (see
below).
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM and FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable
FM stations. If TP 3 32 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TP if you do not wish DAB
reception to be interrupted by FM traffic announcements.

options, activate the radio function
and then select the DAB waveband.
Select MENU in the interaction
selector bar to display the DAB menu.

many DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all categories, the DAB service currently received is interrupted when an

made.

display the DAB categories list.
Select the desired categories. The
categories selected are marked with
9 .
