06 Infotainment system
General information on infotainment
06
234* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
General
The infotainment system consists of radio,
media player, TV* and the facility to communi-
cate with mobile phone*. Information is pre-
sented on a 5 or 7-inch* colour screen in the
upper section of the centre console. Functions
can be controlled via buttons in the steering
wheel, in the centre console under the colour
screen or via a remote control*. A mobile phone
can also be controlled with voice recognition in
certain cases.
If the Infotainment System is active when the
engine is switched off then it is automatically
activated the next time the key is inserted into
key position I or higher, and it continues with
the same source (e.g. radio) as before the
engine was switched off (the driver's door must
be closed on cars with Keyless systems*).
The infotainment system can be used for 15
minutes at a time without the remote control
key being in the ignition switch by pressing the
On/Off button.
When the car is being started the infotainment
system is switched off temporarily and contin-
ues when the engine has started.
NOTE
Remove the remote control key from the
ignition switch if the infotainment system is
used when the engine is switched off. This
is to avoid discharging the battery unnec-
essarily.

see page 238 and menu overview, see

External audio source audio volumeIf an external audio source (e.g. an MP3 player
or iPod Ÿ) is connected to the AUX input then
the audio source that is connected can have a
different volume than the audio system's inter-
nal volume (e.g. radio). Correct this by adjust-
ing the volume of the input:
1.
Press the MEDIA button and turn TUNE to
AUX and wait a few seconds or press OK/
MENU.
2.
Press OK/MENU and then turn TUNE to
AUX input volume. Confirm with OK/
MENU.
3.
Turn TUNE to adjust the volume for the
AUX input.
NOTE
If the external audio source's volume is too
high or too low, the quality of the sound may
deteriorate. The audio quality may also be
impaired if the player is charged while the
infotainment system is in AUX mode. In
which case, avoid charging the player via
the 12 V socket.
Optimum sound reproductionThe audio system is pre-calibrated for opti-
mum sound reproduction by means of digital
signal processing.
This calibration takes into account loudspeak-
ers, amplifiers, passenger compartment
acoustics, listener position etc. for each com-
bination of car model and audio system.
There is a also a dynamic calibration that takes
into account the position of the volume control,
radio reception and vehicle speed.
The controls explained in these operating
instructions, e.g.
Bass, Treble and Equalizer,
are only intended for the user to be able to
adapt the sound reproduction according to
personal taste.

RDS functionsRDS (Radio Data System) links FM transmitters
into a network. An FM transmitter in such a
network sends information that gives an RDS
radio the following functions:
•Automatically switches to a stronger trans-
mitter if reception in the area is poor.
•Searches for programme type, such as
traffic information or news.
•Receives text information on current radio
programme.
NOTE
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
some if its functionality.
If a required programme type is located the
radio can switch stations interrupting the audio
source currently in use. For example, if the CDplayer is in use, it is paused. The interrupting
transmission is played at a preset volume, see
page 249. The radio returns to the previous
audio source and volume when the set pro-
gramme type is no longer broadcast.
The programme functions alarm (
ALARM!),
traffic information (TP), news (NEWS), and pro-
gramme types (PTY) interrupt one another in
order of priority, where alarm has the highest
priority and programme types has the lowest.
For additional settings of programming inter-
ruptions (
EON Distant and EON Local), see
the section "Enhanced Other Networks –
EON" below. Press EXIT to return to the inter-
rupted audio source, press the OK/MENU to
clear the message.
AlarmThis function is used to warn of serious acci-
dents and catastrophes. The alarm cannot be
temporarily interrupted or deactivated. The
message
ALARM! appears on the TV screen
when an alarm message is transmitted.
Traffic information – TPThis function allows traffic information sent
within a set station's RDS network to break
through. The
TP symbol indicates that the
function is activated. If the preset station cansend traffic information then this is shown by
TP glowing brightly in the TV screen, otherwiseTP will be grey.

Enhanced Other Networks – EONThis function is useful in urban areas with many
regional radio stations. It allows the distance
between the car and the radio station trans-
mitter to determine when programme functions
should interrupt the current audio source.

ing one of the options under FM menu

•Local – interrupts only if the radio station
transmitter is close.
•Distant3 – interrupts if the station trans-
mitter is far away, even if there is a lot of
static.

tion from the selected station or all stations
within the RDS network.
