Introduction
Introduction Saf ety
in
structions relating to the In-
fotainment system Travelling on today's roads requires the driv-
er's f
u

ll attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● Bef or

e starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to y
ou and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
distin
guish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the
car is
stopped or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident

and cause injuries. Operating the
Infotainment system can distract your atten-
tion from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
eas
ily hear signals from outside the vehicle at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
● He arin

g may be impaired if using too high a
volume settin
g, even if only for short periods
of time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y ou sw it

ch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Lower the base volume before connecting
or switc
hing audio sources. WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
cation s

shown on the navigation system may
differ from the current traffic situation.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority ov
er the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the navigation system.
● Adjust your vehicle speed and driving style
to suit
visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whil e driv

ing can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
ob s

truct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not ob
struct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are loose or not proper-
ly sec ur

ed could move around the passenger
compartment during a sudden driving or
braking manoeuvre or an accident and cause
damage or injury.
● Never place or fit external devices to the
doors, wind
screen, steering wheel, dash pan-
el, the backs of the seats, on top of or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” or between these
areas and the occupants. External devices
can cause serious injury in an accident, espe-
cially when the airbags inflate. WARNING
The armrest may obstruct the driver's arm
mov ement

s, which could cause an accident
and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicl
e is in motion. WARNING
Opening a CD player's housing may lead to
injuries fr

Audio and Media Mode
RDS radio data services Fig. 10
RADIO main menu Fig. 11
Radio mode: list of stations. The RDS (Radio Data System) offers addition-
al
inf
orm
ation in FM such as the visualisation
of the station name, automatic station track-
ing (Alternative Frequencies AF), text emitted
by radio (Radio Text), traffic reports (TP) and
station types (PTY). RDS is not supported by all units and is not
avail

able everywhere or on every FM radio
station.
Depending on the country and the unit in
question, the RDS can be deactivated in the
FM setup menu ››› page 22.
Without RDS it is not possible to use radio
data services.
Name of the station and automatic station
tracking
If equipped with the RDS function, the names
of the stations can be displayed in the main
RADIO menu and in the FM station list .
FM radio stations may occasionally or contin-
uously broadcast different content on differ-
ent regional frequencies under the same sta-
tion name (e.g. Station 3).
By default, automatic station tracking always
switches to the currently selected station's
frequency that offers the best reception, as
the vehicle travels from one area to the next.
As a result, this may cause the regional sig-
nal to be lost.
Automatic frequency changing and automatic
station tracking can be deactivated in FM setup ››› page 22. Radio Text (RDS)
Some RDS-enab
led stations also broadcast
additional text information known as radio
text.
Radio Text is displayed in the upper half of
the screen above the memory buttons
››› Fig. 8 A .
The R a
dio

Text display can be deactivated in
FM setup ››› page 22. Note
Radio stations are responsible for the content
of the inf orm

ation they transmit.16

Audio and Media Mode
Once the corresponding FM station has been
f ou
nd,
(FM) is displayed after the station
name. When reception for the corresponding
DAB station returns, the unit will switch back
to DAB mode after a short time. The (FM)
display is hidden.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is
too weak and the station can no longer be
found on the FM frequency band, the radio
will be muted.
