General information on operating the unit
Introduction
Additional displays
Depending on the vehicle specification, changes to air conditioning set-
tings or information on factory-fitted driver assistance systems may be dis-
played temporarily on the screen. These displays disappear automatically
when they are no longer required.
All displays appear only after a complete restart of the radio system.
Additional information and warnings:
● Safety notes ⇒ page 4
● Unit overview ⇒ page 6
Note
In order to operate the unit you only need to push the button lightly.
Note
Due to legal requirements specific to each country, when certain speeds are
exceeded some functions are no longer available.
Note
Using a mobile telephone inside the vehicle can result in noise in the
speakers.
Note
In some vehicles equipped with a parking distance warning system, the vol-
ume of the audio source is automatically lowered when reverse gear is en-
gaged. Rotary/push knobs, unit and function buttons
Overview
●
Rotary/push knobs.
● Labelled unit buttons (hard keys).
● Function buttons (soft keys).
Rotary/push knobs
The left-hand rotary/push knob ⇒ Fig. 1 1
is referred to as the volume
control or the on/off switch.
The right-hand rotary/push knob 8
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 are
pictured as a button symbol with, e.g. the MEDIA
unit button
⇒ Fig. 1 2.
There are six unlabelled unit buttons below the screen ⇒ Fig. 1 11
. These
unit buttons are referred to as “function buttons” as their functions change
depending 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).

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.
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 to
a 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 audio
source (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 .

: 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.
