GENERAL INFORMATION
Digital radio reception
DAB radio is very different from normal AM/FM
radio in both operation and sound quality. The
DAB network is designed to provide near CD
quality from radio broadcasts. In most
locations DAB signals are available without
hiss, crackle, pop or interference, and no
fading or overlap.
DAB radio can significantly increase the
number of radio channe ls/stations available.
The DAB signals are transmitted to most major
cities, towns and motorway networks.
Radio signals travel in a straight line so large
obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the
vehicle from the signal, causing temporary loss
of reception (known as dead spots). Digital radio is transm
itted from regional
transmitters. Some local channels are not
available outside th e range of their
transmitters. If you want to listen to local
channels as you move around the country, use
the auto-tune function (AUTO) to build new
channel lists. For more information on the
auto-tune function. See CHANNEL
AUTOMATIC TUNING (page 284).
Note: If any auxiliary electrical equipment is
connected to the vehicle, then this may reduce
the DAB radio sound quality.

Ensembles
Unlike AM/FM radio, DAB transmits several
channels/stations on a single frequency. A
group of channels is known as an ensemble.
Ensembles may consist of six or more
channels (national or local). Some may have
sub-channels offering several listening
options. When scrolling through the channels the
sub-channels will appear
in order, and can be
selected in the same way as the channels. If
reception is lost when the vehicle is in motion
select AUTO to build a new list of ensembles.
The table below provides an example of the
ensembles, channels and sub-channels
available in one location.

CHANNEL AUTOMATIC TUNING
Note: When you first use the DAB radio, you
will be unable to listen to any digital broadcasts
until you have comp leted the auto-tune
process.
In DAB mode, select DAB search, then select
Auto-tune to start automatic tuning and build a
list of all the digital ensembles and channels
that are available in your region.
While automatic tuning is running, the
message Auto-tuning will be displayed on the
touch-screen, along with a percentage
complete. When tuning is complete, the first
channel found will start playing.
Note: The auto-tune process can take longer
than one minute to complete. To update the list of lo
cal channels when you
move to a different region, select Auto-tune
again. You can also add local channels as
presets to minimise the need for auto-tuning as
you move location.
CHANNEL OPTIONS
To receive digital broadcasts, short press the
SOURCE button repeatedly to toggle between
the available sources, or briefly touch the DAB
Radio button on the touch-screen. See AUDIO
CONTROLS (page 282).
Choose DAB1, DAB2 or DAB3 to receive digital
radio broadcasts. The three DAB sources
enable you to preset up to 18 different
channels. See PRESET BUTTONS (page 287).
The channel that was last played on your
chosen digital source will be selected for
playback automatically.
Note: If this is the first time you have used DAB
radio, you must first build a list of available
channels using the auto-tune function.
See CHANNEL AUTOMATIC TUNING
(page 284).
Digital radio channels are organised into
groups called ensembles. Some channels may
sometimes provide one or more subchannels.

If the digital radio signal is lost or the system
takes time to tune in to a channel, then the
display screen will show the message No

The problem may be caused by a temporary
problem, such as buildings or trees blocking

broadcast servic e operator. Try tuning to an
alternative channel and return later to see if the
problem has been resolved. If you are unable to
tune to any other channe ls, switch off the audio
unit and then try again.

FM traffic
The FM traffic option detects the presence of
local traffic announcements on FM stations. As
soon as an announcement is received, radio
reception or CD play will be interrupted. At the
end of the announcement, radio or CD play will
resume.

digital channels are broadcast by a variety of
regional providers.
A channel in two differ ent regional ensembles
will share an identification if broadcast by the
same provider. If channels are being broadcast
by different suppliers, th en they will not share
the same identification. If you move from one region to another and
Link DAB
is enabled, the DAB radio will attempt
to retune to a channel with the same
identification in a different ensemble.
If the signal strength for a local channel falls
below an acceptable level, the audio unit will
automatically search other available ensembles
for another channel with the same
identification.
If an alternative channel is found in another
ensemble that is also in your current channel
list, then the new channel is tuned
automatically after a few seconds. If a channel
is not found after a few seconds, then No
reception is displayed on the screen.
The word Link is displayed at the top of the
touchscreen to indicate that Link DAB is
