DAB* radio mode
Function only available in Europe
Introduction
Some units also have a DAB radio receiver. DAB is a digital broadcasting
standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
Operation
DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III
(174 MHz - 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “channels” and have an abbrevia-
tion (e.g. 12 A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services
available in a station “ensemble”.
Using these additional services additional information can be sent to the
radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).
DAB is currently not available in all areas. When in DAB radio mode in areas
with no DAB reception,  is displayed.
Settings can be made to display and play messages, to browse stations and
to browse traffic news stations (TP function) ⇒ page 40.

Media mode Introduction
Media sources are audio sources containing audio files on various different
data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be played
by the radio system from its corresponding players or audio input sockets
(internal CD player, external CD changer, AUX-IN multimedia socket).

Audio mode
● 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
influenced by the connected device.
● WMA (Windows Media Audio) audio files can only be played if they are
not protected by authors' rights with the DRM (Digital Rights Management)
system.
● Generally, files with anti-copy protection cannot be played (e.g. M4P).
● It is not possible to play files in 3GP format or “WMA lossless” files.
Check there are no MP3 files stored in the playlist. A playlist only defines a
certain order of play. If a playlist cannot be played, check that the “relative
paths” are correct, i.e. that the MP3 files on the data medium are actually
stored at the locations referenced by the playlist.
If an external data medium is divided into several partitions, only the first
partition with compatible audio files will be played.
Respect any other restrictions and instructions regarding the requirements
for the media sources ⇒ page 23.
WARNING
● The connected audio devices must be protected from possible me-
chanical damage and other kind of wear.
● We do not hold responsible for any possible damage on the connec-
ted devices.
● The connection of USB devices is sensitive to interference from mo-
bile 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 me-
chanical 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.
WARNING (Continued)
● The external data device should never be left on the dash panel. A
sharp manoeuvre can throw the device towards the compartment and in-
jure 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 com-
partment and injure the vehicle passengers.
● Place the external data device cables so that they are not in the way
while driving.
CAUTION
The adapter cable used must not be trapped or excessively twisted. The ca-
ble may get damaged and this could cause operational faults.
Note
Some vehicles with the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface mounted on the cen-
tre 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.
Note
● Do not connect an external media player at the same time to play music
via Bluetooth and via the MEDIA-IN multimedia interface with the radio and
navigation system, as this could cause playback limitations.
● The use of memory card adapters or USB hubs can cause problems in
reading files. 
