RDS is a service of FM stations that
considerably improves the finding of the desired station and its fault-free
reception.
Advantages of RDS ■ On the display, the programme name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
■ During a station search, the Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.
■ The Infotainment system always tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set station by means of AF (alternative frequency).
■ Depending on the station received,
the Infotainment system displays
radio text that can contain e.g.
information on the current
programme.FM Menu
To configure the RDS settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the FM waveband.
Select MENU in the interaction
selector bar to display the FM Menu.

Set RDS - On or RDS - Off .
Traffic Programme (TP)
Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If the traffic service is switched on, the
function currently active is interrupted for the duration of the traffic
announcement.
Radio47
If the radio traffic service is activated,
[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station or media played is not a radio traffic service
station, [ ] is displayed and a search
is started automatically for the next
radio traffic service station available.
As soon as a radio traffic service
station is found, [TP] is highlighted. If
no radio traffic service station is
found, [ ] remains on the screen.
If a traffic announcement is
broadcasted on the respective radio
traffic service station, a message is
displayed.
To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated, dismiss the alert.
Region
Sometimes RDS stations broadcast
regionally different programmes on
different frequencies.
Set Region - On or Region - Off .
If regionalisation is switched on,
alternative frequencies with the same regional programmes are selected if
necessary. If regionalisation isswitched off, alternative frequencies
of the stations are selected without
regard to regional programmes.
Digital audio broadcasting Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.
Advantages of DAB ■ DAB stations are indicated by the programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
■ With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcasted on a single frequency(ensemble).
■ Besides high-quality digital audio services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data
services including travel and traffic
information.
■ As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out by a
broadcasting station (even if the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.■ There is no fading (weakening of the sound that is typical of AM or
FM reception). The DAB signal is
reproduced at a constant volume.
If the DAB signal is too weak to be
picked up by the receiver, reception is interrupted completely. This can
be avoided by activating DAB to
DAB Linking and/or DAB to FM
Linking in the DAB option menu
(see below).
■ Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not occur with DAB.
■ If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings, the
reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably impaired in such cases.
■ When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainment
system remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable FM stations. If TP 3 46 is activated,
48Radio
traffic announcements of the FM
station which is currently best
receivable are issued. Deactivate TP, if you do not wish DAB
reception to be interrupted by FM traffic announcements.
DAB Menu

options, activate the radio function
and then select the DAB waveband.
Select MENU in the interaction
selector bar to display the DAB Menu.DAB Announcements
Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all categories, the DAB service currently
received is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
Select DAB Announcements to
display the DAB categories list.
Select the desired categories. The
categories selected are marked with
9 .
Notice
DAB announcements can only be

DAB to DAB Linking
If this function is activated, the device switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (frequency, if available) when the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver.
Set DAB to DAB Linking to On or Off.DAB to FM Linking
If this function is activated, the device switches over to a corresponding FM
station of the active DAB service (if
available) when the DAB signal is too
weak to be picked up by the receiver.
Set DAB to FM Linking to On or Off.
L Band
If L Band is activated, the
Infotainment system receives an additional frequency range. The
frequencies for L-band comprise
earth and satellite radio (1452 - 1492
MHz).
Set L Band to On or Off.
Intellitext
The Intellitext function allows for the
reception of additional information
such as announcements, financial
information, sports, news etc.

receives all current traffic information from TMC radio stations. This
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During this process, the route is planned sothat traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
If there is a traffic problem during
active route guidance, depending on
the pre-settings, a message appears
as to whether the route should be
changed.
TMC traffic information is displayed in
the map display as symbols or as

80Speech recognition
You can now say a voice command to
directly initiate a system function
(e.g. playing a preset radio station), or
to start a dialogue sequence with
several dialogue steps (e.g. entering
a destination address), see
"Operation via speech commands"
further below.
After a dialogue sequence is finished,
the speech recognition is deactivated
automatically. To initiate another
dialogue sequence, you need to
activate the speech recognition
again.Activation via the VOICE screen
button on the centre display
Select VOICE in the interaction
selector bar of a centre display main
menu.
The audio system mutes, a voice
output message prompts you to say a command, and a help menu with the
most important commands currently
available is shown on the centre
display.
As soon as the speech recognition is
ready for voice input, a beep is heard. The speech recognition symbol on
the right side of the help menu
changes from black to red.
You can now say a voice command,
see description above.
Adjusting the volume of voice
prompts
Press ! or # on the right side of the
steering wheel upwards (increase volume) or downwards (decrease
volume).
Interrupting a voice prompt
As an experienced user, you can
interrupt a voice prompt by briefly
pressing w on the steering wheel.
A beep is heard immediately, the
speech recognition symbol changes
to red, and a command can be stated
without having to wait.
Cancelling a dialogue sequence
There are various possibilities to
cancel a dialogue sequence and to
deactivate the speech recognition:
■ Say " Cancel" or "Exit".
■ Press n on the left-hand side of
the steering wheel.
■ If the speech recognition session was started via the VOICE screen
button on the centre display, you
may alternatively:
◆ Press ; on the instrument panel.
◆ Select m or Exit in the help
menu.
Speech recognition81
In the following situations, a dialogue
sequence is automatically cancelled:
■ If you do not say any command for a certain period of time (by default
you are prompted three times to
say a command).
■ If you say commands that are not recognised by the system (by
default you are prompted three times to say a correct command).
Operation via speech commands
The speech recognition can
understand commands that are either naturally stated in sentence form, or
direct commands stating the
application and the action.
For best results: ■ Listen for the voice prompt and wait
for the beep before saying a
command or replying.
■ Say " Help" or read the example
commands on the screen.■ The voice prompt can be interrupted by pressing w again.
■ Wait for the beep and then speak the command naturally, not too
fast, not too slow. Use short and
direct commands.
Usually phone and audio commands
can be spoken in a single command. For example, "Call David Smith at
work", "Play" followed by the artist or
song name, or "Tune to" followed by
the radio frequency and the
waveband.
Navigation destinations, however,
are too complex for a single
command. First, state a command that explains the type of destination
needed, such as "Directions to an
Address", "Navigate to an
intersection", "Find a Place of
Interest", or "Directions to a contact".
The system responds with requesting
more details.
When searching for a "Place of
Interest", only major chains may be
selected by name. Chains are
businesses with at least 20 locations.For other POIs, say the name of a
category like "Restaurants",
"Shopping centres", or "Hospitals".
Direct commands are easier
understood by the system, e.g. "Call
01234567". Examples of these direct commands are displayed on most of
the screens while a speech
recognition session is active.
If you say "Phone" or "Phone
commands", the system understands that a phone call is requested and
responds with respective questions
until enough details are gathered. If
the phone number has been saved
with a name and a place, the direct
command should include both, for
example "Call David Smith at work".Selecting list items
When a list is displayed, a voice
prompt asks to confirm or select an
item from that list. A list item may be
manually selected, or by speaking the
line number of the item.
The list on a speech recognition
screen functions the same as a list on
other screens. Manually scrolling the
