Adjusting the output volume ( AUX/MDI VOLUME LEVEL)
If you need to increase the output volume for the external audio source, first
lower the base volume on the radio system ⇒ page 11.
If the sound from the external audio source is too low, if possible, increase
the output volume on the external audio source. If this is not sufficient, set
the input volume (AUX VOL LEVEL) in the system settings to level 2 or level 3.
If the sound from the connected external audio source is too loud or distor-
ted, if possible, lower the output volume on the external audio source. If
this is not sufficient, set AUX VOL LEVEL to level 2 or level 1.
Speed-dependent volume adjustment
The GALA function automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speed
of the vehicle.
You can set the degree to which the volume increases with speed on a scale
between 1 and 7.

If a low value is set, the volume rises only slightly as the speed of the vehi-
cle increases. At a high setting the volume is increased more. At 0 speed-
dependent volume adjustment is switched off.
Note
Due to country-specific legislation, certain functions may not be available
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain speed.

DAB-FM LINKING ON function
If the current DAB station can no longer be tuned (e.g. there is no longer a
DAB signal), the unit will search and tune into this station on the FM fre-
quency band.
To scan the station through all of the frequencies, it is necessary that the
DAB station and the FM station broadcast the same station identification or
that the DAB indicates the FM station that the DAB station corresponds to.
Once the corresponding FM station has been found, (FM) is displayed after
the station name. Should the DAB station become available again, the unit
switches back to DAB mode after a while.
