High audio volume may represent a danger to you and to others.
●
Adjust the volume in a way that you can distinguish surroundingnoise, for example, horns and sirens, etc.
●
Radio settings should be made when the car is stopped or by a pas-senger.

4IntroductionIntroductionBefore using the unit for the first timeBefore using the unit for the first time, carry out the following steps. Thiswill enable you to use the unit safely and make full use of the functions itprovides:
Take the basic safety notes into account ⇒ page 4.
Familiarise yourself with the unit overview ⇒ page 6.
Use suitable data media for media mode ⇒ page 19.
Safety notes
WARNINGAny distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury. Operatingthe radio system could distract you from the traffic.●
Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
●
Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
●
Setting the volume too high may cause damage to your hearing. Thisalso applies if the device is set to high volumes for a short period.
WARNINGThe volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source orconnect a new audio source.●
Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connectinga new audio source.
WARNINGThe connection, introduction or removal of data media whilst driving maydistract you from the traffic, causing an accident.WARNINGConnecting leads for external devices may obstruct the driver.●
Arrange the connecting leads so that they do not obstruct the driver.WARNINGExternal devices that are placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-cured could be flung through the interior of the vehicle during a suddendriving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident and causedamage or injury.

11Audio modeRDS and automatic station tracking (only in FM)
RDS is a radio data service which makes it possible to receive additionalservices such as the display of station names, automatic station tracking(AF) and the TP function (Traffic Program ⇒ page 17).
With automatic station tracking, when the vehicle is in motion the stationalways changes to the frequency with the best reception in that moment. Ifthe reception is poor, the unit may be muted for a short time as it searchesfor alternative frequencies (AF).
RDS does not exist everywhere nor is it available for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is possible that the RDS and thealternative frequencies (AF) are deactivated ⇒ page 30.
