Introduction
Before using the unit for the first time
Before using the unit for the first time, carry out the following steps. This
will enable you to use the unit safely and make full use of the functions it
provides:
Take the basic safety notes into account
⇒ page 4.
Familiarise yourself with the unit overview
⇒ page 6.
Use suitable data media for media mode ⇒ page 19.
Safety notes
WARNING
Any distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury. Operating
the radio system could distract you from the traffic.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to easily hear signals from out-
side the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● Setting the volume too high may cause damage to your hearing. This
also applies if the device is set to high volumes for a short period.
WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when you switch audio source or
connect a new audio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching audio source or connecting
a new audio source.
WARNING
The connection, introduction or removal of data media whilst driving may
distract you from the traffic, causing 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 placed loose in the vehicle or not properly se-
cured could be flung through the interior of the vehicle during a sudden
driving or braking manoeuvre, or in the event of an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never fit external units on the doors, windscreen, on or near the area
marked with the word “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the dash panel,
seat backrests or between these areas and the vehicle occupants. In the
case of an accident, external units can cause serious injury, particularly
when the airbags inflate.
WARNING
Opening the housing on a CD player can lead to injuries from invisible la-
ser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a Specialised workshop.

RDS and automatic station tracking (only in FM)
RDS is a radio data service which makes it possible to receive additional
services such as the display of station names, automatic station tracking
(AF) and the TP function (Traffic Program ⇒ page 17).
With automatic station tracking, when the vehicle is in motion the station
always changes to the frequency with the best reception in that moment. If
the reception is poor, the unit may be muted for a short time as it searches
for alternative frequencies (AF).
RDS does not exist everywhere nor is it available for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is possible that the RDS and the
alternative frequencies (AF) are deactivated ⇒ page 30.
Changing frequency band
The currently selected frequency band (FM or AM) is indicated above the
station display.
● In Radio mode, briefly press the RADIO

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.

: 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.
