Safety notes WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident
and cause injuries. Operating the
radio system while driving can distract you
from the road traffic.
● Always drive responsibly paying careful at-
tention to the tr
affic.
● 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).
● 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
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
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 may be loose or not
properly sec
ured, could move be thrown
around the passenger compartment during a
sudden driving or braking manoeuvre or an
accident and cause damage or injury.
● Never place or set external devices on the
doors, on top of
or near the area marked with
the word “AIRBAG” of the steering wheel, the
dash board or the backrests, nor between
these areas and the passengers. External de-
vices can cause serious injury in the event of
an accident, especially when the airbags in-
flate. CAUTION
The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged if
the v o
lume is too high or the sound is distor-

● Using a mobile telephone in the vehicle
may
cause noise from the vehicle loudspeak-
ers.
● On some vehicles with ParkPilot, the vol-

Intr
oduction The radio system is supplied in different ver-
sion
s
depending on the country and model
and the vehicle equipment in which it is in-
stalled. Some units are also equipped with a
DAB radio receiver ››› page 9. The possible
radio system versions appear in the overview
of the controls ›››
page 2. Note
● Be ar in mind th
at being underground, in
tunnels, in areas with tall buildings or moun-
tains can interfere with radio signals.
● Foil or metal-coated stickers attached to
the window
s may affect reception on vehicles
with a window aerial. RADIO main menu

Af t

hanging to Radio mode, the available
frequency bands (FM, AM 1)
and DAB 1)
) are in-
itially displayed in the bottom line of the
screen ››› Fig. 2. If the RADIO unit button ispressed again, the functions for the radio re-
c
eiv
er sh
all be shown ››› Fig. 3.
You have the following available options: ● Searching for the next station.
● Turning a stored station back on.
● Switching on the TP function ›››
page 7.
● Store the selected station ›››
page 9.
The station that you are currently listening to
is shown in the middle of the screen. If the
station accepts RDS and the reception is
good, the station name shall be displayed in-
stead of the frequency, e.g. RADIO 21.
RDS and automatic station tracking RDS is a radio data service that allows the
di
s
p
lay of the station name, automatic sta-
tion tracking and the TP function (traffic infor-
mation station ›››
page 7).
With the automatic station tracking the unit
always switches to the frequency that offers
the best reception of the current radio station
as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. If the reception is poor, the unit may be
muted for a short time as it searches for alter-
native frequencies (AF). 1)
This depends on the country and unit in question.

Audio mode
RDS is not available everywhere or on every
FM r a
dio s
tation.
Depending on the country and the unit, the
RDS and switching to alternative frequencies
(AF) may be deactivated in the system set-
tings ››› page 21.

page 6. If your unit has DAB ››› page 9,
you may also use the TP function without
having RDS ››› page 7.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function
is only possible when a tuning in a traffic
news station. While traffic news monitoring is on (display:
TP ›››
Fig. 4), traffic announcements are
heard directly in the Audio mode.
Traffic news station tracking is not possible
on the AM 1)
frequency bands.
Some stations that do not broadcast their
own traffic news support the TP function by
broadcasting traffic reports by other stations
(EON). Traffic announcements broadcast by
the corresponding traffic news stations di-
rectly interrupt the current audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the TP function button.
If the TP function is activated in areas where
ther e i
s
no support for TP , the following no-
tice shall appear on the screen: NO TP.
● Press the TP function button again to dis-
c onnect
the
TP function again.
TP function activated
As long as the traffic news station tracking is
active and ready for functioning, the TP func-
tion b utt

s shown ››› Fig. 4.
In Radio mode the station that is being lis-
tened to has to accept the TP function, or it
has to have a DAB or EON station available
that may accept the TP function If both re- quirements are fulfilled, traffic news station
track
ing is not possible.
If the traffic news station that is being lis-
tened to cannot continue getting reception, a
manual search shall have to be initiated with
arrow buttons and

p
age 6.
If
searching for a station using the arrow
keys, NO TP is displayed if the station set is
not currently compatible with TP.
In Media mode or as long as the volume may
be muted, a traffic news station is automati-
cally tuned in the background, provided the
signal of said station can be tuned in. This
operation may take some time depending on
the situation.
Incoming traffic announcement (INFO)
In active Audio mode, an incoming traffic an-
nouncement shall be directly played.
● If necessary, the radio moves to the traffic
news s
tation (EON) for the duration of the
traffic announcement.
● The Media mode will be paused and the
volume w
ill be adjusted to the preset level.
● The traffic announcement volume can be
modified with the v
olume control . This set-
ting shall also apply to subsequent an-
nouncements. »1)
This depends on the country and unit in question.

Audio mode
The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
D AB+ and DMB-Audio br
o
adcasting stand-
ards.
In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
Band III frequencies (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 DAB stations are combined into one
channel with the additional services availa-
ble in a “block”.
DAB is currently not available in all areas . In
areas without DAB, is displayed in DAB ra-
dio mode. The system and functions settings
allow in this case a change of FM station
››› page 21. In the system and functions
settings there is the configuration of other
settings for the tracking of stations and for
playing DAB notifications. Note
The radio stations are responsible for the
cont ent
of the information sent. Operation

in the current location. The selected group at
that time ( DAB 5) is shown in the top line of
the screen ››› Fig. 12.

which at that time can be set better. This happens
even if it interrupts a set regional broadcast.
If the function is deactivated, there is no frequen-
cy change. The frequency tuned is active until re-
ception is interrupted.

announcements of a traffic radio station available,
they are played directly in the active DAB Radio
mode. The traffic announcements of FM traffic news
stations are ignored. If this feature is deactivated or
if the current DAB set does not offer a TP service,
traffic announcements of an FM traffic radio station
are reproduced directly in the active DAB Radio
