is referred to as the volumecontrol or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob

is referred to as the setting knob.
Unit buttons and function buttons
The labelled buttons on the unit are referred to as “unit buttons” and arepictured as a button symbol with, e.g. the MEDIA unit button ⇒ Fig. 1

.
There are six unlabelled unit buttons below the screen ⇒ Fig. 1

. Theseunit buttons are referred to as “function buttons” as their functions changedepending on the current operating state.
In the bottom line of the screen, the function assigned to each function but-ton is shown in the corresponding position (for example ⇒ Fig. 6).
31Settings menuFunction button: EffectAVa) HIGH FREQ.: Define the setting for automatic station tracking⇒ page 10.
ON: The unit always switches to the radio station's frequency thatoffers the best reception as the vehicle travels from one area to thenext. As a result, regional programmes may be interrupted.
OFF: No frequency change takes place. The frequency tuned is ac-tive until reception is interrupted.VOL ON-VOLUME: Regulating the maximum switch on volume.If the volume of the radio system, when switched off, was greater than thelimit set, the volume will be reduced to the value set.If the volume of the radio system, when switched off, was lower than thislimit, the volume will not be modified.
GAL GALA: To set the speed-dependent volume adjustment ⇒ page 31.DIS DISPLAY LIGHT: To adjust the screen brightness.PDC PDC VOL ATTENU.: To reduce the volume of the current audio source toa preset level when the parking distance warning system is active.AUX: Settings for the use of an external audio source in the AUX - IN multi-media socket ⇒ page 19. AUX VOL LEVEL 1-3: Adjust the input volume of an external audiosource (AUX) to the output volume of the other audio sources. AUX VOL LEVEL OFF: The AUX-IN multimedia socket will be deactiva-ted and no longer displayed in the Media selection menu.SFOb): Service Following. If this setting is activated (ON) and the receptionof the DAB station selected gets worse, this function automatically search-es for another channel in DAB with the same station.
DTPb) DAB-TP: This setting only affects the DAb station currently selected ifthe TP function has already been activated on the equipment (TP ON). DTP OFF: Only FM traffic announcements (TA) interrupt the currentbroadcast.Function button: Effect DTP ON: Both FM and DAB traffic announcements interrupt the cur-rent broadcast.FMLb) DAB-FM Link: If this setting is activated (ON) and the reception of theDAB station selected gets worse, and no other channel is available withthe same station, or when reception in DAB is deficient, this function auto-matically searches for another channel in the FM band.The change is not possible if the reception of the FM station is deficient orthe stations do not transmit information that established the relationshipbetween the DAB and FM stations. In this case it is not a faulty radio opera-tion.If the DAB reception is recovered with greater quality than the FM station itwill switch back from FM to DAB.
a)
It is not available everywhere or for all radio models.
b)
They are only available for radio models with DAB.
Functional mode description of speed-dependent volume adjustment(GALA)
The GALA function automatically adjusts the volume in line with the speedof the vehicle.
The degree to which the volume increases with speed (GALA) is set on ascale between 1 and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases only slightly as the speed of thevehicle increases. At a high setting the volume increases further. At 0,speed-dependent volume adjustment is switched off.
