Introduction
Introduction Safety instructions relating to the
Infotainment system WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an accident and cause injuries. Operating the
Infotainment system can distract your atten-
tion from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
● Hearing may be impaired if using too high a
volume setting, even if only for short periods
of time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you switch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Lower the base volume before connecting
or switching audio sources. WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
cations shown on the navigation system may
differ from the current traffic situation. ●
Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority over the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the navigation system.
● Adjust your vehicle speed and driving style
to suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium while driving can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
obstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not obstruct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are loose or not proper-
ly secured could move around the passenger
compartment during a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never place or fit external devices to the
doors, windscreen, steering wheel, dash pan-
el, the backs of the seats, on top of or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” or between these
areas and the occupants. External devices
can cause serious injury in an accident, espe-
cially when the airbags inflate. WARNING
The armrest may obstruct the driver's arm
movements, which could cause an accident
and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicle is in motion. WARNING
Opening a CD or DVD player's housing can
lead to injuries from invisible laser radiation.
● Have CD or DVD players repaired only by a
qualified workshop. CAUTION
The Infotainment system can be damaged by
the incorrect insertion of a data storage de-
vice or the insertion of an incompatible data
storage device.
● When inserting a data storage device, make
sure it is correctly positioned ››› page 23.
● Applying force may irreparably damage the
memory card slot locking mechanism.
● Only use compatible memory cards.
● When inserting and removing CDs and
DVDs, always hold them at right angles to the
front of the CD/DVD drive without tilting so as
not to scratch them.
● If a CD or DVD is inserted while another is
already in the unit or being ejected, the DVD
drive may be irreparably damaged. Always
wait until the data medium is completely
ejected. » 3

mand or give an incomplete command, and it
has no effect, you can repeat the command.
The symbol  remains active.

Audio and Media Mode
RDS radio data services Fig. 9
RADIO main menu Fig. 10
Radio mode: list of stations. The RDS (Radio Data System) offers addition-
al information in FM such as the visualisation
of the station name, automatic station track-
ing (Alternative Frequencies AF), text emitted
by radio (Radio Text), traffic reports (TP) and
station types (PTY). RDS is not supported by all units and is not
available everywhere or on every FM radio
station.
Depending on the country and the unit in
question, the RDS can be deactivated in the
FM setup menu ››› page 21 .
W ithout
RDS it is not possible to use radio
data services
.
Name of the station and automatic station
tracking
If equipped with the RDS function, the names
of the stations can be displayed in the main
RADIO
menu and in the FM station list.
FM radio stations may occasionally or contin-
uously broadcast different content on differ-
ent regional frequencies under the same sta-
tion name (e.g. Station 3).
By default, automatic station tracking always
switches to the currently selected station's
frequency that offers the best reception, as
the vehicle travels from one area to the next.
As a result, this may cause the regional sig-
nal to be lost.
Automatic frequency changing and automatic
station tracking can be deactivated in FM set- up ››› page 21. Ra
dio Text (RDS)
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast
additional text information known as radio
text.
Radio Text is displayed in the upper half of
the screen above the preset buttons
››› Fig. 7 A .
The Radio Text display can be deactivated in
FM setup ››› page 21 . Note
Radio stations are responsible for the content
of the information they transmit. 15

Audio and Media Mode
Digital radio mode (DAB, DAB+ and
audio DMB) Fig. 11
Display of preset buttons in DAB
mode. Fig. 12
Display of station information in DAB
mode. The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
DAB+ and DMB-Audio broadcasting stand-
ards. In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
Band III frequencies (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred
to as “
channels
” and each has a channel
n
ame (e.g. 12 A).
Several DAB stations are combined into one
channel with the additional services availa-
ble in a “block”.
St

arting DAB radio mode
● From the
RADIO main menu press the BAND function button and select
DAB .
The DAB radio station that was last selected
will be played if it can still be received at the
current location.
The selected DAB station is displayed in the
upper bar of the screen; the group of selec-
ted stations is displayed below ››› Fig. 11 .
Ad dition

al DAB stations (Secondary Service
Components)
Some DAB stations temporarily or perma-
nently offer additional stations , (for example,
for broadcasting sports events).
Press the name of the main station in the
DAB menu to select an additional station. Or,
select the additional station from the station
list. The DAB main menu shows the name of the
additional selected station on the right
alongside the abbreviated name of the main
DAB station.
The additional stations cannot be stored.
Automatic station tracking: change from DAB
to FM
DAB is currently
not available in all areas . In
areas without DAB,  is displayed in DAB ra-
dio mode.
Automatic station tracking can be activated
in DAB setup to change to the FM frequency
band ››› page 22.
If r

eception of the currently selected DAB sta-
tion is lost (e.g. no DAB reception available),
the Infotainment system attempts to find the
station on the FM frequency band and tune to
it. Automatic station tracking between fre-
quency bands only works if the DAB station
and the FM station transmit the same station
identifier or the DAB signal indicates a corre-
sponding station on the FM frequency band.
Once the corresponding FM station has been
found, (FM) is displayed after the station name. When reception for the corresponding
DAB station returns, the unit will switch back
to DAB mode after a short time. The (FM)
dis-
play is hidden.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is
too weak and the station can no longer be
16
