Introduction
6IntroductionBefore using the unit for the first timeSafety notes
WARNING
Using the radio system while the vehicle is in motion can distract you from
the road and lead to accidents.•Observe legal requirements.•Always drive carefully and responsibly.•Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from
outside the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly secured
could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking
manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.•While the vehicle is in motion, always secure external devices properly
outside the airbag deployment zones.WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.•Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.•Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting a
new audio source ⇒page 11.WARNING
Opening a CD/DVD player's housing can lead to injuries from invisible laser
radiation.•Have CD/DVD players repaired only by a qualified workshop.

“Operating instructions”.
Additional display information
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning settings
or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be temporarily
displayed on the screen. These displays disappear automatically when they
are no longer required.
All displays appear only after completely restarting the radio system.Caution
Only a small amount of pressure is needed to operate the unit.
Note
•Never press a button down for longer than 10 minutes. Otherwise the
system will interpret this as a malfunction ( button jammed).•Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions cannot be selected
on the screen when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.•Using a mobile phone in the vehicle may cause noise from the vehicle
speakers.•In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the
volume of the current audio source is automatically lowered when reverse
gear is engaged. This volume can be changed while reverse is engaged. If the volume is not modified, when reverse is disengaged the previous volume
setting is restored. If the volume is modified, when reverse gear is disen-
gaged the audio source will stay at the set volume and, as long as the
maximum volume is not exceeded, it will be memorised for the next time
reverse gear is engaged.
Switching on and offWhen the unit is switched on the system starts up. The last audio source used
is played at the last selected volume setting, provided this does not exceed
the preselected “switch-on volume” (
ON-VOL ⇒ page 34).
Energy management
If, when the ignition is switched off and the unit switched on, the battery
voltage falls below the minimum onboard power supply voltage, a signal
sounds and LOW BATTERY appears. You should switch the radio off.
If the battery voltage level continues to fall, LOW BATTERY and RADIO OFF are
briefly shown on the display. The unit will switch off automatically.Function
Activation
Switch the unit on or off
manually.
Press the rotary/push knob
 .
After the ignition key is removed the unit
switches off automatically after approx. 30
minutes (switch-off delay).

The unit switches on automatically if it was on
when the ignition key was removed.
Switch off the unit auto-
matically.
Remove the vehicle key from the ignition lock.

Audio mode31
•Only external data devices or USB mass storage devices complying with
the USB 2.0 specification can be used.•Partition of an external data device shall be in accordance with the file
system, FAT16 (< 2 GB) or FAT32 (> 2 GB) (FAT: File Allocation Table).•MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) players, recognised by the commercial
name “PlaysForSure” or “ReadyForVista ”, are highly sensitive to factors
including the battery charge and the volume of data in the MEDIA-IN multi-
media interface requests. It may take several minutes before an MTP player is
ready to play.•When playing large capacity hard discs with several files and a complex
data structure (several folders and subfolders, non-playable files, etc.) it may
take some time to read the audio files. The reaction time may also be influ-
enced by the connected device.•The structure of the folders in the external data device shall not exceed a
depth of eight folder levels. A folder should not contain more than 1,000
entries.•The use of USB cable extensions and USB hubs may cause operating
errors.•If an external data device is divided into various partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.•Memory card adapters can not be used, their use may cause operating
errors.•If an MP3 player is updated via the manufacturer (firmware update) this
may lead to operating errors.•An external data device should be connected first or select the corre-
sponding data mode.•Compatible formats include: MP3, WMA, OGG-Vorbis, AAC.•Please refer to the respective manufacturer's manual for instructions on
the operation of the external data medium. Compatible file formats
The use of file formats which can be played on this equipment is the same as
for compressed audio files in MP3 format and will not be explained further in
this manual.
•The radio and navigation equipment can be used to play and control
audio files in MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis and AAC format from an external data
device.•Playlists in PLS, B4S, ASX and WPL format are compatible.•W M A ( W i n d o w s M e d i a A u d i o ) a u d i o f il e s ca n o n l y b e p la y e d i f t h e y a r e n o t
protected by authors' rights with the DRM (Digital Rights Management)
system.•Generally, files with anti-copy protection can not be played (e.g. M4P).•Files in 3GP format and “WMA lossless” file types can not be played.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist is not played, check whether the “route data”
is correct, that is, whether the MP3 files are stored in the data device to which
the playlist refers.WARNING
•The connected audio devices must be protected from possible mechan-
ical damage and other kind of wear.•We do not hold responsible for any possible damage on the connected
devices.•The connection of USB devices is sensitive to interference from mobile
telephones. Mobile telephones should not be left next to the USB when
this is connected, to prevent distortion.•The connected audio devices must be protected from possible mechan-
ical damage and other kind of wear.•Objects which are not secured in the vehicle compartment may inter-
fere with driving and could result in serious injury.

32•The external data device should never be left on the dash panel. A sharp
manoeuvre can throw the device towards the compartment and injure the
vehicle passengers.•The external data device should never be mounted in the vicinity of the
airbag. If an airbag is activated it can project the device towards the
compartment and injure the vehicle passengers.•The external data device must not be held in hand or on the legs while
driving. A sharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the compartment
and injure the vehicle passengers.•Place the external data device cables so that they are not in the way
while driving.Note
Some vehicles with the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface mounted on the centre
armrest are also equipped with an additional compartment. The rubber insert
of this compartment can be removed in order to extract small objects which
may have fallen inside.
