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

● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
distin
guish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Changes to the Infotainment system set-
tings
should be made when the car is stop-
ped, 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
easily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency services sirens
and horns).
● Hearing 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

from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
ob s

truct the driver.

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

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

dio

Text display can be deactivated in

adcasting stand-
ards. In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
Band III frequenc

ies (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred
to as “channels” and each has a channel
name (e.g. 12 A ).
Several available DAB stations are combined
into one channel in an “ensemble”.

Additional DAB stations (Secondary Service
Components)
Some DAB stations temporarily or perma-
nently offer additional stations , (for example,
for broadcasting sports events).
DAB stations containing additional stations
are identified in the station list by means of
the symbol . Selecting additional stations

If reception of the currently selected DAB sta-
tion is lost (e.g. no DAB reception available),
the Infotainment system attempts to find the
station on the FM frequency band and tune to
it. Automatic station tracking between fre-
quency bands only works if the DAB station
and the FM station transmit the same station
identifier or the DAB signal indicates a corre-
sponding station on the FM frequency band. »

The available functions will depend on the
Bluetooth ®
Audio profile that the connected
external player supports.
With media players that support the AVRCP
Bluetooth ®
profile, playback on the Blue-
tooth ®

started or stopped when the unit is switched
to Bluetooth ®
Audio mode or to a different
audio source. In addition, it is possible to
view or change the track via the Infotainment
system. Note
● Due t o the l

arge number of possible Blue-
tooth ®
audio sources, it is not possible to
guarantee fault-free operation of all descri-
bed functions.
● Always switch off the warning and service
tones
on a connected Bluetooth ®
audio
source, e.g. key tones on a mobile telephone, to prevent possible interference noise and
ma
lf

unctions.
● Do not connect an external media player to
pla
y music via Bluetooth ®
and via the USB
port ››› page 32 at the same time with the
