General information
The infotainment system consists of radio and media player features and also makes itpossible to communicate via a cell phone.The information is displayed on a 7" screen inthe center console. Infotainment functionscan be controlled from the center console orvia the buttons on the steering wheel keypad.On models equipped with the navigation sys-tem*, voice commands can also be used toe.g., set destinations, make calls from a Bluetooth ®
-connected cell phone, etc.
If the infotainment system was on when the ignition was switched off, the most recently used source (
FM1, etc.) will restart the next
time the ignition is put in mode I or higher.
The driver's door must also be closed on vehicles with keyless drive*. The infotainment system can be operated for 15 minutes at a time while the engine isswitched off by pressing the On/Off button. While the engine is being started, the infotain- ment system will be temporarily interruptedand will resume when the engine has started.
NOTE
To help avoid excessive battery drain, remove the remote key from the ignitionslot if the infotainment system is usedwhile the engine is switched off.

External audio source volumeIf an external device such as an MP3 player or an iPod ®
is connected to the AUX socket,
the device's volume may be different than the volume of the internal sound sources such asthe disc player or the radio. If the externalsound source's volume is too high, the qualityof the sound may be impaired. To help pre-vent this, adjust the input volume of the exter-nal audio source:
NOTE
Sound quality may be affected if the MP3 player is being charged while the system isin AUX mode. To help prevent this, avoidcharging the MP3 player in a 12-voltsocket while it is being played.

thumb wheel on the steering wheel key-pad.
NOTE
• This list will only display the frequen- cies of the stations currently beingreceived,
not a complete list of all
radio frequencies on the currentlyselected waveband.
• If the signal from the currently tunedstation is weak, this may prevent theradio from updating the list of stations. If this occurs, press
while the list
of stations is displayed to switch to manual tuning mode and select a sta-tion. If the list of stations is no longerdisplayed, turn TUNE in either direc-

HD Radio™ reception (U.S. models
only)
Introduction
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio broadcast
NOTE
HD radio volume may fade in and out at times due to coverage limitations.
HD radio is a brand name registered by the Ibiquity digital corporation 1
. They are the
developer of a broadcasting technology called IBOC or In Band On Channel, whichrefers to the method of transmitting a digitalradio broadcast signal centered on the samefrequency as the AM or FM station's presentfrequency. The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid" since it is both analogue and digital. Duringhybrid operation, receivers still continue toreceive the analogue (non-digital) signal. HDradio receivers incorporate both modes ofreception, where the receiver will automati-cally switch to the analogue signal if the digi-tal signal cannot be decoded or is lost by thereceiver. When you have tuned to an HD Radio station, the
symbol will appear in
the infotainment system display. The symbol is "grayed-out" when HD Radio is in standbymode and white when the radio is activelyreceiving an HD broadcast. More information about HD radio and IBOCcan be found on Ibiquity's website,www.hdradio.com and www.ibiquity.com.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
•
Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality and AM as analogue FM).
• Some FM frequencies offer a greaternumber of listening choices through “mul-ticasting” (consisting of a frequency'smain channel and any sub-channels thatmay also be available on that particularfrequency. See also the section "Sub-channels" below).
• When receiving a digital signal there is nomultipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crackling due to outside influences.
How HD broadcasting worksHD Radio works similarly to conventional radio and broadcasts of this type are availa-ble in many areas of the United States. How-ever, there are a few key differences:
• Instead of transmitting one analogue sig- nal, stations send out a bundled signal –both analogue and digital.
• An HD radio receiver can receive bothdigital and analogue broadcasts.Depending on the terrain and location ofthe vehicle (which will influence the signal

Sub-channels
Example of an HD Radio station with sub-chan- nels
In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channelsoffering additional types of programming ormusic. In such cases, the “-” symbol will be dis- played to the left of the frequency numberand a number will be displayed to the right ofthe frequency number indicating that the cur-rently tuned frequency has at least one sub-channel.
Selecting sub-channelsTo listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press and hold the right arrow key on the centerconsole or on the steering wheel keypad forapproximately 1 second. To go back to the main channel, press and hold the left arrowkey on the center console or on the steeringwheel keypad for approximately 1 second. Togo to subchannel 2 (if available), press andhold the right arrow key on the center consoleor on the steering wheel keypad for approxi-mately 1 second. If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main channel, pressing and holding the leftarrow key for approximately 1 second willtune to the next lower radio frequency.
NOTE
•
When the radio has gone into HD mode, it may take several secondsbefore the ">" symbol (if the currentfrequency has any sub-channels) isdisplayed to the left of the frequency.Pressing and holding the arrow keysfor approximately 1 second before themain-/sub-channel icon is displayedwill cause the radio to tune to the nextavailable radio station, not to the cur-rent station's sub-channels.
• When you are no longer in broadcast-ing range of the currently tuned
sub-
channel ,
No reception will be dis-
played. The radio will then be muted and it will be necessary to tune to orsearch for a new radio station.
Sub-channels can also be stored as presets, see page 241 for information on storing sta-tions. If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it may take up to 6 seconds before the channel
becomes audible. If you press this buttonwhile you are out of digital range of the trans- mitter,
No reception will be displayed.
SiriusXM™ satellite radio*
Listening to satellite radioThe SiriusXM ™ satellite system consists of a
number of high elevation satellites in geosyn- chronous orbit.
NOTE
• The digital signals from the satellites are line-of-sight, which means thatphysical obstructions such as bridges,tunnels, etc, may temporarily interferewith signal reception.
• Avoid any obstructions, such as metal-lic objects transported on roof racks orin a ski box, or other antennas thatmay impede signals from the Sir-iusXM
™ satellites.
