Important informationWarrantyThe equipment warranty terms and conditions also apply for new vehicles.
After the expiration of the warranty, a piec e of equipment in need of repair will be
replaced with a reconditioned, original item with spare part warranty. It is, however,
a precondition that the housing has not been damaged and no unauthorised
attempts have been made to carry out repairs.
Note
Damage within the meaning of the warranty must not be the result of improper
handling of the system or from unprofession al repair attempts. It is also essential
that there is no external damage.Operation of radioThe radio should only be used, if the traffic situation permits it.
The volume settings must be selected in such a way that audible signals from the
outside, e.g. a Martins horn from utility vehicles (police cars, ambulances and fire
brigade), can be heard at all times.

RDS functionsRDS (“ Radio Data System”) serves to transmit program identification and additional
services therefore also enabling automatic tracking of stations. In the event of sufficiently satisfactory reception the suitable RDS radio stations will
display the station name instead of the station frequency.
If a radio station sends additional inform

is being stored, it can occur that the name of the radio station is later displayed
incorrectly in the memory list.
Tr a f f i c r e p o r t sActivating and deactivating the traffic reports

transmit a traffic report, the radio searches for a station which transmits the traffic

the display.
An incoming traffic report automatically inte rrupts the CD play function or listening
