Introduction
Before using the unit for the first time
Before using the unit for the first time, carry out the following steps. This
will enable you to use the unit safely and make full use of the functions it
provides:
Observe the basic safety notes .⇒ page 6.
Familiarise yourself with the unit overview.⇒ page 8.
Use suitable data media for Media mode.⇒ page 23.
Safety notes
WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to an accident and cause inju-
ries. Operating the infotainment system while driving can distract your
attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● If you set the volume excessively high you may suffer damage to your
ears. This can also happen if you are exposed to an excessively high vol-
ume even for a short time.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting
a new audio source ⇒ page 10.
WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data medium while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic and cause an accident.
WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.
WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or brak-
ing manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units on the doors, on the wind-
screen, on or near the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, on
the dash panel, on the seat backrests or between these areas and the
passengers. These units may cause serious injury in the event of an acci-
dent, especially if the airbag is activated. 

RDS* and TP* radio data services (Traffic
Programme) Introduction
RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio data service that provides additional
services such as displaying the station name, automatic station tracking, ra-
dio text and the TP function (Traffic Programme).
RDS is not available for all units, all locations, nor all radio stations. In some
units you can disconnect the RDS function ⇒ page 40.
In general without RDS the RDS radio data services are not available.
To guarantee the best reception in places where RDS is available for the sta-
tions tuned in, select the following system settings ⇒ page 40:
● RDS ON
● ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY ON
● RDS REGIONAL AUTO
Depending on the unit some settings may not be selected.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes  ⇒ page 6
● Unit overview ⇒ page 8
● Radio mode ⇒ page 12
● System and function settings (SETUP) ⇒ page 40
Note
The stations are responsible for the information that they transmit. Radio data services RDS

With RDS the station name can be displayed instead of the frequency
⇒ fig. 9.
Automatic station tracking
With the automatic station tracking the unit always switches to the frequen-
cy that offers the best reception of the current radio station as the vehicle
travels from one area to the next. In some units it is possible to suppress
automatic frequency changing (
ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY OFF)
⇒ page 40.
Radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text
⇒ page 40. 

20Audio mode
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.
