Configuring DAB
Press the CONFIG button.
Select Radio settings and then DAB

The following options are available in
the configuration menu:
■ Auto ensemble linking : with this
function activated, the device switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (frequency, if available)
when the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver.
■ Auto linking DAB-FM : with this
function activated, the device
switches over to a corresponding
FM station of the active DAB
service (if available) when the DAB signal is too weak to be picked up
by the receiver.
■ Dynamic audio adaption : with this
function activated, the dynamic
range of the DAB signal is reduced.
That means the level of the loud
sounds is reduced, but not the level of the quiet sounds. Therefore the
volume of the Infotainment systemcan be raised to a point where the
quiet sounds are audible, without
the loud sounds being too loud.
■ Frequency band : after selection of
this option it can be defined which
DAB wavebands are to be received
by the Infotainment system.

The speech recognition of the
Infotainment system enables you to
operate the phone portal via voice input. It recognises commands and
numeric sequences independently of
the relevant speaker. The commands and numeric sequences can be
spoken without a voice pause
between the individual words.
You can save telephone numbers
assigning a name of your choice
(voice tag). Using these names, you
can later set up a telephone
connection.
In the event of incorrect operation or commands the speech recognition
gives you visual and/or acoustic
feedback and requests you to re-
enter the desired command. Apart
from this, the speech recognition
acknowledges important commands
and will enquire if necessary.
To ensure that conversations inside
the vehicle do not lead to
unintentional triggering of systemfunctions, the speech recognition
does not start until it has been
activated.

are also available for the speech
recognition.
