Digital radio mode (DAB, DAB+ and
DMB audio)* Fig. 11
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”.

AB radio station that was last selected
will be played if it can still be received at the

op line of the screen. The selected En-
semble of stations is displayed below

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.

is displayed in the main DAB menu next to
the symbol .

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
