General operating information
Introduction
Additional information:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 6
● Unit overview ⇒ page 8
● Multi-function steering wheel for changing track or station ⇒ book-
let Operating instructions.
Additional display information
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning set-
tings or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be tem-
porarily 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 vol-
ume setting is restored. If the volume is modified, when reverse gear is dis- engaged 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 re-
verse gear is engaged.

Audio mode
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if the TP station
is available.
Some stations that do not have their own traffic news support the TP func-
tion by broadcasting traffic announcements from other stations (EON). Traf-
fic announcements broadcast by the linked traffic stations interrupt the cur-
rent Audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the TP
button ⇒ fig. 1 12.
● If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the
TP function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK).
● The TP function is switched off by pressing the TP
unit button.
TP function activated
While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active, TP is displayed at
the top left of the screen ⇒ fig. 9.
In FM mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a station
selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TP
function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,
NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station search
using the rocker switch  SEEK / ...

⇒ page 13.
During a station search with the arrow buttons or the scan function (SCAN),
the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will always
automatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided the
reception of said station is good. This may take some time depending on
the situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selected traffic news
station is displayed next to TP ⇒ fig. 10. Incoming traffic announcement (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display:
TP-INFO) will interrupt the active
Audio mode.
● If required, the radio is switched to the traffic news station (EON) for the
duration of the traffic announcement.
● The Media mode will be paused and the volume will be adjusted to the
preset level.
● During a traffic announcement, the traffic announcement volume setting
can be adjusted with the volume control . The adjusted setting will be ap-
plied to subsequent announcements.
● Interruption by a traffic announcement can be stopped by pressing the
TP
unit button. The TP function remains active and the next traffic an-
nouncement will again interrupt the current Audio mode. 

stopping the playback on the portable device, when you go back to the aux-
iliary source using the menu displayed with the MEDIA
button, it will not
continue to play at the point where you left it. 
