● The avai l
ability of AM and DAB bands de-
pends on the country and/or equipment. In
the event that the AM and DAB bands are not
available, the BAND function button text will
not be shown.
● Bear in mind that being underground, in
tunnel
s, 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. RDS radio data services (FM band)

t
menu 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 (AF), text emitted by radio (Radio Text),
traffic r
eports (TP) and station types (PTY).
Depending on the country and the unit in
question, the RDS can be deactivated in the FM setup menu ››› page 23.
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 23.
Setting a station name
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/dis
appear 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. 11 A .

Station list order
Stations that are available at a certain time
are displayed on the station list screen ( STA-
TION LIST function button). This list may
be ordered by station group, by genre or al-
phabetically ››› Fig. 13. Note
● Ra dio s
tations are responsible for the con-
tent of the information they transmit.
● Due to matters of infrastructure, RDS func-
tions m
ay be limited in certain countries, and
you may not be able to receive traffic an-
nouncements, automatic station tracking (AF)

Display of station information in DAB

D
AB+ and DMB-Audio br
o
adcasting stand-
ards. In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
band III frequenc
ies (from 174 MHz to
240 MHz).
The frequencies are referred to as “channels”
and each one has a channel name
(e.g. 12 A ).
Several available DAB stations are combined
into one channel in an “ensemble”.

will be played if it can still be received at the
current location.
The selected DAB station is displayed in the
upper bar of the screen; the group of selec-
ted stations is displayed below ››› Fig. 14.
Additional DAB stations
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

The DAB main menu shows the name of the

DAB station.
The additional stations cannot be stored.
Automatic station tracking
DAB is currently not available in all areas. In
areas without DAB,
is displayed in DAB ra-
dio mode.
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 and tune to it on the other available
frequency bands. If the station still cannot be
found, the radio will be muted. Automatic
station tracking can be activated in the DAB
settings in the following modes ›››
page 24:
● DAB - DAB station tracking: The ra dio at
-
tempts to tune into the same station on an
alternative DAB frequency. Automatic station
tracking only works if both DAB stations
transmit the same station identifier or the »

DAB signal indicates the corresponding other

● Automatic DAB - FM switching: The radio
att
empts to tune into the same station on the
FM frequency band. Automatic station track-
ing only works if the DAB station and the FM
station transmit the same station identifier or
the DAB signal indicates the corresponding
FM station. Once the corresponding FM sta-
tion has been found, “FM” is displayed after
the station name. When reception for the cor-
responding DAB station returns, after a short
time the unit will switch back to DAB mode
and “FM” will no longer be displayed.
● Switch to a similar station: This al
lows
service providers to indicate alternative sta-
tions with similar content. This way, if the ra-
dio loses reception of a DAB station and can-
not find an alternative frequency for it on FM
or DAB, there is a possibility of tuning in to a
station with similar content.
Radio text
Some stations also broadcast additional text
information known as radio text.
