™
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the DTS,
Inc. 3
. They are the developer of a broadcasting
technology called IBOC or In Band On Channel,
which refers to the method of transmitting a digi-
tal radio broadcast signal centered on the same
frequency as the FM station's present frequency.
Introduction Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broad-
cast (generic illustration)
NOTE
HD Radio volume may fade in and out at
times due to coverage limitations. The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"
since it is both analog and digital. During hybrid
operation, receivers still continue to receive the
analog (non-digital) signal. HD Radio receivers
incorporate both modes of reception, where the
receiver will automatically switch to the analog
signal if the digital signal cannot be decoded or
is lost by the receiver.
When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in the infotainment sys-
tem display. The symbol will be displayed in dif-
ferent colors:
Grayed-out symbol: No HD Radio broad-
cast reception
White symbol: the radio is actively receiving
an HD broadcast
Orange symbol: the radio is receiving an
HD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC can
be found on DTS, Inc.'s website, www.dts.com.
Artist Experience™A radio station's logo and album art can be dis-
played. If a station opts to provide this informa-
tion, it is broadcast once every 12 minutes, which
means that there may be a delay before the
logo/album art appear on the screen. The radio
can store 100 station logos so the next time the
radio is tuned to the same station, the logo will 2

be displayed immediately. Album art is synched
with the artist that you are currently listening to.
Ball game modeThis feature means that a main FM station (HD1)
will broadcast live events, where the content of
the programming is more important than sound
quality, in analog mode only to help prevent the
delay between analog and digital broadcasting.
The HD Radio symbol will be white during live
broadcasts and "Live" will be displayed next to
the symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting

Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality).
Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-
ber of listening choices through "multicast-
ing" (consisting of a frequency's main chan-
nel and any sub-channels that may also be
available on that particular frequency.)
When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crack-
ling due to outside influences.
How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio
and broadcasts of this type are available in many
areas of the United States. However, there are a
few key differences:
Instead of transmitting one analog signal,
stations send out a bundled signal - both
analog and digital.
An HD Radio receiver can receive both digi-
tal and analog broadcasts. Depending on the
terrain and location of the vehicle (which will
influence the signal strength), the receiver
will determine which signal to receive.

HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves the
factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and driv-
ing through areas with weak HD signals (fringe
areas), you may experience that the radio repeat-
edly switches between analog/digital and digital/
analog reception. If this happens, it may be desir-
able to switch HD off.
Carry out the following to activate or deactivate
HD Radio:
1.

Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings.
2. Press Media and FM Radio.
3. Press HD Radio FM to activate/deactivate
the function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be unable
to receive digital broadcasts but it will continue to
function as a conventional radio (analog FM
receiver). Please note that when HD is switched
off, it will not be possible to tune in to sub-chan-
nels.
Note that if you activate or deactivate HD Radio
only the selected wavelength band is affected.
