Depending on the model, if, when the ignition is switched off and the unit
switched on, the battery voltage falls below the minimum onboard power
supply voltage, there is an audible warning and LOW BATTERY appears. The
unit should be switched off.
If the battery voltage level continues to fall, RADIO OFF is briefly displayed
and the radio will switch itself off automatically.

HIGH FREQ.: Define the setting for automatic station tracking
⇒ page 10.
ON: The unit always switches to the radio station's frequency that
offers the best reception as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. 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 the
limit set, the volume will be reduced to the value set.
If the volume of the radio system, when switched off, was lower than this
limit, the volume will not be modified.

SFOb)
: Service Following. If this setting is activated (ON) and the reception
of 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 if
the TP function has already been activated on the equipment (TP ON).
DTP OFF: Only FM traffic announcements (TA) interrupt the current
broadcast.
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 the
DAB station selected gets worse, and no other channel is available with
the 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 or
the stations do not transmit information that established the relationship
between 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 it
will 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 speed
of the vehicle.
The degree to which the volume increases with speed (GALA) is set on a
scale between 1 and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases only slightly as the speed of the
vehicle increases. At a high setting the volume increases further. At 0,
speed-dependent volume adjustment is switched off.
