Settings menuFunction button: Effect
ON: The unit always switches to the radio station's
frequency that offers the best reception as the vehi-
cle travels from one area to the next. As a result, re-
gional programmes may be interrupted.
OFF: No frequency change takes place. The fre-
quency tuned is active until reception is interrupted.
VOL ON-VOLUME : Regulating the maximum switch on
volume.
If the volume of the radio system, when switched off,
was greater than the limit set, the volume will be re-
duced to the value set.
If the volume of the radio system, when switched off,
was lower than this limit, the volume will not be modi-
fied.

ment ››› page 29.
DIS DISPLAY LIGHT : To adjust the screen brightness.
PDC PDC VOL ATTENU. : To reduce the volume of the
current audio source to a preset level when the parking
distance warning system is active.

: Service Following. If this setting is activated (ON)
and the reception of the DAB station selected gets
worse, this function automatically searches for another
channel in DAB with the same station.
DTPb) DAB-TP : This setting only affects the DAb station
currently selected if the TP function has already been ac-
tivated on the equipment (TP ON).
DTP OFF: Only FM traffic announcements (TA) in-
terrupt the current broadcast.
DTP ON: Both FM and DAB traffic announcements
interrupt the current broadcast.
FMLb) DAB-FM Link : If this setting is activated (ON)
and the reception of the DAB station selected gets
worse, and no other channel is available with the same
station, or when reception in DAB is deficient, this func-
tion automatically searches for another channel in the
FM band.
The change is not possible if the reception of the FM sta-
tion is deficient or the stations do not transmit informa-
tion that established the relationship between the DAB
and FM stations. In this case it is not a faulty radio oper-
ation.
If the DAB reception is recovered with greater quality
than the FM station it will switch back from FM to DAB.
a) It is not available everywhere or for all radio models.
b) They are only available for radio models with DAB.
Functional mode description of speed-de-
pendent volume adjustment (GALA)
The GALA function automatically adjusts the
volume in line with the speed of the vehicle. The degree to which the volume increases
with speed (GALA) i
s set on a scale between
1 and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases on-
ly slightly as the speed of the vehicle increa-
ses. At a high setting the volume increases
further. At 0, speed-dependent volume ad-
justment is switched off. 29
