RDS is a service of FM stations that considerably facilitates the finding of
the desired station and its fault-free
reception.
Advantages of RDS ● On the display, the programme name of the set station appears
instead of its frequency.
● During a station search, the Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.
● The Infotainment system always tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set station by means of AF
(Alternative Frequency).
● Depending on the station that is received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain, e.g. information
about the current programme.
Configuring RDS Press CONFIG to open the Settings
menu.Select Radio settings and then RDS
options .
Set RDS to On or Off.
Notice
If RDS is switched off, it will be
automatically switched on again when a radio station is changed (bysearch function or preset button).

Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcast system.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.

Radio149General information● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcasted on a single
frequency (ensemble).
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated data and a multitude of other data services 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.
● There is no fading (weakening of
the sound that is typical of AM or
FM reception). The DAB signal is reproduced at a constant volume.
● If the DAB signal is too weak to be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This incident can be
avoided by activating Auto
ensemble linking and/or Auto
linking DAB-FM in the DAB
settings menu.● 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 is
improved, 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 3 147 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station which is
currently best receivable are issued. Deactivate TP, if DABreception should not be
interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.
Configuring DAB
Press CONFIG .
Select Radio settings and then DAB
settings .The following options are available in
the configuration menu:
Auto ensemble linking
With this function activated, the
device switches over to the same
service (programme) on another DAB ensemble (frequency) when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up by
the receiver.
Set the function to On or Off.
Auto linking DAB-FM
With this function activated, the
device switches over to a
corresponding FM station of the
active DAB service when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up by
the receiver.
Set the function to On or Off.
Dynamic audio adaption
With this function activated, the
dynamic range of the DAB signal is
reduced. That means the level of the
loud sounds is reduced and the level
of the quiet sounds is increased.
Therefore, the volume of the
Infotainment system can be raised to

Phone163The submenu prompts you with a
question. To reset all values to the factory defaults, select Yes.
Emergency call9 Warning
Connection setup cannot be
guaranteed in all situations. For
this reason you should not rely
exclusively on a mobile phone
when a vitally important
communication (e.g. a medical
emergency) is concerned.
In some networks it may be
necessary for a valid SIM card to
be properly inserted in the mobile
phone.
9 Warning
Bear in mind that you can make
and receive calls with the mobile
phone, if it is in a service area with
a sufficiently strong signal. Under
certain circumstances emergency
calls cannot be made on all mobile
phone networks; it is possible that
they cannot be made when certain network services and/or telephone
functions are active. You can
enquire about this with the local
network operators.
The emergency call number can
differ depending on the region and country. Please enquire
beforehand about the correct
emergency call number for the
relevant region.
Making an emergency call
Dial the emergency call number (e.g.
112 ).
The telephone connection to the
emergency call centre is set up.
Answer when the service personnel
questions you about the emergency.
9 Warning
Do not end the call until you are
requested to do so by the
emergency call centre.
Operation
As soon as a Bluetooth connection
has been set up between your mobile
phone and the Infotainment system,
you can also operate many functions
of your mobile phone via the
Infotainment system.
Via the Infotainment system, you can, e.g., set up a connection to the
telephone numbers stored in your
mobile phone or change the
telephone numbers.
Notice
In the handsfree mode, mobile
phone operation is still possible,
e.g. taking a call or adjusting the
volume.
After the setup of a connection
between the mobile phone and the
Infotainment system, mobile phone
data is transmitted to the Infotainment
system. This can take several
minutes depending on the phone
model. During this period, operation
of the mobile phone is possible via the
Infotainment system only to a limited extent.
