Digital radio DAB
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the digital transmission of radio programmes
based on the DAB, DAB+ or DMB standards. It allows multiple stations to be
transmitted in a single frequency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also al-
lows for the transmission of additional data and information (e.g. messages,
sport, weather, warnings, etc.)
In regions without DAB coverage, the following symbol appears in DAB Radio
mode .
List of DAB stations
Press the button RADIO

→ Band
→ DAB/List.
 XYZ
- an ensemble of DAB stations
 XYZ
- DAB station with the name XYZ
 XYZ 
- DAB station with the name XYZ which is currently not in range
 XYZ (FM)
- DAB station with the name XYZ which is currently only in range in the
FM frequency band
DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several ensembles, when the signal is poor, the
same station is searched in a different ensemble.
Auto-change DAB -FM
If the DAB signal is poor, the unit will try to find a corresponding FM station for
the DAB station you are currently listening to.
For auto-change to work, the DAB and FM stations must send a sender ID.
While the station is being received via the FM frequency band, (FM) will appear
next to the station name . When the corresponding DAB station is in range again, the (FM) display disappears.
If a DAB station is also not available in the FM frequency band due to poor recep-
tion, the radio will be switched to mute.
If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tunnels,when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func-tion » page 9 , Settings in RADIO mode .
Ð
Traffic Programme TP
The display “ TP” in combination with a station name (e.g. in the station or preset
list), indicates a traffic programme station.
Irrespective of which radio station you are listening to, an additional receiver part
in the unit ensures that a traffic programme station can always be received as
long as the traffic programme function is switched on. During media mode, the
unit always searches for an available traffic program station in the background.
The availability of traffic programme monitoring is identified by the letters “ TP” at
the top right of the screen.
If no traffic programme station can be received because, for example, radio recep- tion is interrupted in general, “ No TP” will be displayed instead of “ TP”.

NAV mode (Navigation)
Introductory information
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations orchange the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Driving recommenda-tions can only then be re-transmitted.
In regions that are not or only partially digitalised and stored on the navigationDVD, the radio navigation system will continue to try to provide guidance to thedestination. Please note that under these circumstances the guidance to the des-tination may not be completely correct if, for example, one-way streets and roadcategories (motorway, country road, etc.) are not or only partially included in thenavigation data used.
When entering an address (city, street), only those letters or symbols which makeup a logical entry will be presented. A list of possible names will be shown. Do notforget to enter the blank space in names made up of more than one word, suchas High Wycombe.
The last voice output can be repeated by pressing the button or the menu button
15
. The volume of a navigation recommendation can be changed whilst it is beingmade.
The GPS satellites will not be able to reach the aerial if you are in a tunnel or un-derground garage. In these cases, the unit uses only the vehicle's sensors and aninternal gyroscope for navigation.
WARNING■Please concentrate fully at all times on your driving! Driver inattention canlead to accidents and injuries. As the driver you are fully responsible for roadsafety. Only use the functions of the radio navigation system in such a waythat you are always in full control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!
■
The following must always have priority over the driving recommendations:
■the road traffic legislation, even if the driving recommendations contradictthe StVO,■the actual acknowledgement of traffic signs, light signals or signs placedby the police at the relevant location,■the facts and circumstances prevailing at the relevant location.
WARNING (Continued)■Please observe the respective traffic regulations when driving.■Traffic signs and traffic regulations always have priority over the driving rec-ommendations provided by the navigation system.
■
Route guidance is subject to constant changes, particularly to informationrelating to one-way streets, pedestrian zones etc. stored in the navigation da-ta. Information on traffic lights, stop and right of way signs, parking and stop-ping restrictions as well as lane constrictions and speed restrictions is not in-cluded in the radio navigation system.
■
Adjust your speed to suit weather, road and traffic conditions. No not letyourself be tempted by the radio navigation system, for example, to drive toofast in the fog – risk of accident!
■
Only if the traffic situation allows it should you operate the radio navigationsystem with its wide range of possibilities.
■
The driving recommendations provided may vary from current situations,e.g. due to road works or out of date navigation data. In such a case, alwaysobserve the traffic regulations and ignore the driving recommendations.
■
Adjust the volume to ensure that acoustic signals from outside, e.g. sirensfrom vehicles which have the right of way, such as police, ambulance and firebrigade vehicles, can be heard at all time.
Note
■It is not necessary to enter the destinations (country, city, road, point of interestnames) including all country-specific (or language-specific for points of interest)special characters.
■
Depending on the country, some functions of the radio navigation system canno longer be selected on the screen at certain speeds. This is not a malfunction,but corresponds to the legal requirements of the particular country.

assigns the memory card to the radio navigation system. For licensing reasons,
the memory card is assigned to your radio navigation system and cannot be used
in a different radio navigation system.
■ Use SD
- use the navigation data directly from the memory card. If you want to
use navigation data from other regions which differs from the data stored in the memory of the radio navigation system, you can also use data directly from the
memory card for guidance. This means you have two different sets of naviga-
tion data at your disposal. This means it is not necessary to copy the navigation
data from the memory card to the memory of the radio navigation system.
■ Install
- copies the navigation data from the memory card to the internal memo-
ry of the radio navigation system. The “old” navigation data in the internal mem-
ory of the radio navigation system are deleted. Data cannot be recovered once deleted »
.
No navigation data is available during copying. The copy process takes around 2
hours.
Do not remove the memory card during the process of copying data from the
memory card to the internal memory of the radio navigation system! You can
damage the memory card!
Manual copying
If you insert the memory card with valid navigation data but the copy process
does notstart automatically, you can start it manually.
Press the button NAV

→ SETUP.
■ Navigation data basis
