Introduction
Depending on the unit and country in question, the unit is switched off
when the engine is turned off or the key is removed. If the unit is switched
on again, it will switch off automatically after approximately 30 minutes (de-
layed switch-off).
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 unit 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.

For each frequency band available (for example, FM and AM) there are dif-
ferent memory levels (in fig. 7: FM1
, FM2 and AM1, AM2).
Each memory level shows six function buttons to store and tune in the radio
stations. These function buttons are called “station buttons”. When you change to Radio mode, the available memory levels are shown
first
⇒ fig. 7 and then, after 5 seconds, the station buttons of the memory
level selected ⇒ fig. 8.
Changing the memory level in Radio mode

ON: The unit always switches to the radio station's frequency that
offers the best reception as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. As a result, regional programmes may be interrupted.

offers the best reception as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. As a result, regional programmes may be interrupted.
FIX: The unit only changes to regional alternative frequencies for
the current station broadcasting the same regional service. The radio
will accept the frequencies of other stations, only when the reception
quality is very poor.
RADIOTEXT: Some RDS-compatible and DAB stations broadcast additional
text information. The individual radio station is responsible for the texts
displayed.

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.
