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
eas
ily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● Setting the volume too high may cause
damag
e 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 sw it
ch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio source or c
onnecting a new audio
source. WARNING
The connection, introduction or removal of
dat a medi
a whilst driving may distract you
from the traffic, causing 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 placed loose in the
vehic l
e or not properly secured 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, wind-
scr
een, 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 seri- ous injury, particularly when the airbags in-
flat
e. WARNING
Opening a CD player's housing may lead to
injurie s fr
om invisible laser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a Special-
ised work
shop. CAUTION
● When in sertin
g and removing the CD, al-
ways hold it at right angles to the front of the
unit without scratching or tilting it.
● Inserting a second CD while a CD is already
insert
ed or being ejected may damage the CD
player. Always wait until the data medium
has been fully ejected! CAUTION
Any foreign objects attached to a data medi-
um and non-rou nd d
ata media can damage
the CD player.
● Only use standard 12 cm CDs!
– Do not stic
k stickers or other items to the
data medium. Stickers may peel off and
damage the drive.
– Do not use printable data media. Covers
and stickers may peel off and damage the
drive.
– Do not insert 8 cm "single" CDs or non-
round CDs or DVDs (shaped CDs). 4

After you switch to Radio mode, the available
frequency bands (FM, AM and DAB) are ini-
tially displayed in the bottom line of the
screen ›››
Fig. 2. After roughly 5 seconds, they
are replaced by the “station buttons”
››› Fig. 3. Stations can be stored to the station
buttons ›››
page 12. The station that is playing will appear in the
centre of
the screen. For stations with RDS,
the name of the station will appear instead of
its frequency if reception is good enough, for
example RADIO 1.
RDS and automatic station tracking
(only in FM) RDS is a radio data service which makes it
pos
s
ible to receive additional services such
as the display of station names, automatic
station tracking (AF) and the TP function (Traf-
fic Program ››› page 16).
With automatic station tracking, when the ve-
hicle 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 avail-
able for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is
possible that the RDS and the alternative fre-
quencies (AF) are deactivated ›››

C
ont
amin
ation, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Observe the manu-
facturer's instructions on the data medium.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws. CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format can-
not be pl
ayed. Under Windows Vista ®
ensure
that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data medium due to the
data medium configuration or the devices
and programs used for recording. Compatibil-
ity with all encoding/recording software, re-
cording devices and recording media cannot
be guaranteed. Information can be found on
the internet regarding the best ways to create
audio files and data media (compression
rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, the unit
takes longer to read a data medium contain-
ing compressed audio files (MP3) than a
“normal” audio CD. Complex folder struc-
tures can also slow down the reading of a da-
ta medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. There are no files stored in a playlist. The
unit will not play a playlist if the files are not
stored on the data medium at the locations
referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
