Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● Bef

ore starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to
you and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
dis
tinguish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Changes to the Infotainment system set-
ting
s should be made when the car is stop-
ped, or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an ac c

ident and cause injuries. Operating the
Infotainment system can distract your atten-
tion from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. ●
Sel ect

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
vo
lume setting, even if only for short periods
of time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y ou sw

itch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Lower the base volume before connecting
or swit
ching audio sources. WARNING
The driving recommendations and traffic indi-
c ation

differ from the current traffic situation.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have
priority o
ver the recommendations and dis-
plays provided by the navigation system.
● Adjust your vehicle speed and driving style
to s
uit visibility, weather, road and traffic

damage or injury.
● Never place or fit external devices to the
doors, w
indscreen, 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

ins
tructions of the “dialogue”. A function can
often be activated with different spoken com-
mands. If in doubt, try giving a command or
say Help.
● When an action is performed (e.g. calling a

Audio and Media Mode
RDS radio data services (FM band) The RDS (Radio Data System) offers addition-
al
inf
ormation 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).
Due to matters of infrastructure, RDS func-
tions may be limited in certain countries, and
you may not be able to receive traffic an-
nouncements, automatic station tracking (AF)
or programme types (PTY).
Depending on the country and the unit in
question, the RDS can be deactivated in the FM setup menu ›››
page 24.
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
sw
it

ches 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 24.
Set a station name 1)
In some cases the name of the station is too
long. This text may be blocked/unblocked by
pressing on the station name for 3 seconds
until hearing an audible signal (a dot will ap-
pear/disappear on the left and right of the
station name).
Radio text
Some RDS-enabled 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. 10 A .
The R a

dio Text display can be deactivated in
FM setup ››› page 24. Note
Radio stations are responsible for the content
of the inf

ormation they transmit. Station list order

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.
Automatic station tracking: “Soft linking ”1)
This allows service providers to indicate alter-
native stations with similar content. This way,
if the radio loses reception of a DAB station
and cannot find an alternative frequency for
it on FM or DAB, there is a possibility of tun-
ing in to a station with similar content.
