Introduction
Introduction Gener al operating information
Safety notes Travelling on today's roads requires the driv-
er's
full attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● B
efore starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
t

o you and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
di

stinguish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the
c

ar is stopped or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an ac
cident and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention 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 service sirens).
● If you set the volume excessively high you
m

ay suffer damage to your ears. This can also
happen if you are exposed to an excessively
high volume even for a short time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
y
ou switch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio sour
ce or connecting a new audio
source ››› page 6. WARNING
Connecting, inserting or removing a data me-
dium whi
le driving can distract your attention
from the traffic and cause an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
o
bstruct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not
obstruct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are loose or not proper-
ly
secured could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vr

e, or in the event of an accident.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the door
s, on the windscreen, on or near
the area marked “AIRBAG” on the steering
wheel, on the dash panel, on the seat backr-
ests or between these areas and the passen-
gers. These units may cause serious injury in
the event of an accident, especially if the air-
bag is activated. WARNING
The centre armrest may obstruct the driver's
arm mo
vements, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
v

ehicle is in motion. Note
● Not
inserting the data medium correctly, or
inserting unsuitable data media, may damage
the unit.
● When inserting the memory card, make
s

ure it is in the correct position ››› page 21
● If you push too hard, you could damage the
loc
k on the memory card slot.
● Only use suitable memory cards.
● The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged
if

the volume is too high or the sound is dis-
torted. » 5

Introduction
●
Lightly pressing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the unit.
● It is possible that not all the functions and
f

unction buttons are available as the software
of the unit responds to the specific character-
istics of each market. A missing function but-
ton on the screen is not the result of an error
in the unit.
● Due to country-specific legislation, certain
f

unctions cannot be selected on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile telephone inside the vehicle
c

an cause noise in the speakers.
● There may be restrictions on the use of
Bluet
ooth devices in some countries. Infor-
mation is available from the local authorities.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking
di

stance warning system, the volume of the
audio source is automatically lowered when
the gear is engaged.
● If the steering wheel has a voice control
b

utton , it will not work in this radio mod-
el, so it has no function in relation to the ra-
dio. Rotary knobs and buttons

Digital radio mode (DAB, DAB+ and

Main DAB RADIO menu. The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the
s
tandards DAB, DAB+ and DMB audio.
In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
band III frequencies (174 MHz to 240 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred
to as “channels” and each has a channel
name (e.g. 12 A).
Several available DAB stations are combined
into one channel in an “ensemble”.
Starting DAB radio mode
In the RADIO main menu, press the function
key ›››

D
AB .
The D
AB radio station that was last selected
will be played if it can still be received at the
current location. The station selected at that time is shown on
the t
op line of the screen. The selected En-
semble of stations is displayed below
››› Fig. 11.
Additional DAB stations
Some DAB stations temporarily or perma-
nently offer additional programmes , (for ex-
ample, for broadcasting sports events).
Additional stations are selected in the same
way as the conventional DAB stations. How-
ever, these are differentiated in the station
list by the icon 2nd.
The name of the additional available station
is displayed in the main DAB menu next to
the symbol .
The additional stations cannot be stored.

D
AB 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
s

tation 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 DAB set-
tings in the following modalities.
● DAB-DAB station tracking:
The radio 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 other corresponding
DAB station.
● DAB-FM Automatic switching :
The radio at-
tempts to tune into the same station on the
FM frequency band. Automatic station track-
ing between frequency bands only works if
both the DAB station and the FM station
transmit the same station identifier or the
DAB signal indicates a corresponding station
on the FM frequency band. Once the corre-
sponding FM station has been found, FM is
displayed after the station name. When re-
ception for the corresponding DAB station re-
turns, after a short time the unit will switch
back to DAB mode and FM will no longer be
displayed.
Radio text
Some stations also broadcast additional text
information known as radio text. The button

Restrictions and instructions
Contamination, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a data medium unusable. Please observe the
m

anufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
anomalies during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
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. Informa-
tion can be found on the internet regarding
the best ways to create audio files and data
media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Depending on the size, its condition due to
use (copy and delete processes), the folder
structure and file type, the read time of the
data media used can vary considerably.
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
on the data medium at the locations referred
to by the playlist (relative file paths). Note
● Do not
use adaptors for memory cards.
● We will not accept any responsibility for
