Introduction
Introduction Gener a
l
operating information
Safety notes Travelling on today's roads requires the driv-
er's f
u

ll attention at all times.
Only operate the radio and its various func-
tions when the traffic situation really permits
this. WARNING
● Bef or

e starting the trip, you should famili-
arise yourself with the different radio func-
tions.
● High audio volume may represent a danger
to y
ou and to others.
● Adjust the volume in a way that you can
distin
guish surrounding noise, for example,
horns and sirens, etc.
● Radio settings should be made when the
car is
stopped or by a passenger. WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident

and cause injuries. Operating the
infotainment system while driving can dis-
tract your attention from the traffic.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly. ●
Select

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
may
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 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 ››› page 7. 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 are loose or not proper-
ly sec ur

ed could be flung though the interior during a sudden driving or braking manoeu-
vre, or in the ev
ent

of an accident.
● Never, for any reason, fit the external units
on the doors, on the wind
screen, 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 vement

s, which could cause an acci-
dent and severe injuries.
● Always keep the armrest closed while the
vehicl
e is in motion. Note
● Not in ser

ting the data medium correctly, or
inserting unsuitable data media, may damage
the unit.
● When inserting the memory card, make
sure it
is in the correct position ››› page 22
● If you push too hard, you could damage the
lock on the memor
y card slot.
● Only use suitable memory cards.
● The vehicle loudspeakers may be damaged
if the v
olume is too high or the sound is dis-
torted. 6

Introduction
●
Lightly pr e
ssing the buttons or briefly
pressing the touchscreen is sufficient to op-
erate the unit.
● It is possible that not all the functions and
function b
uttons 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
function
s cannot be selected on the screen
when the vehicle is travelling above a certain
speed.
● Using a mobile telephone inside the vehicle
can cau
se noise in the speakers.
● There may be restrictions on the use of
Bluetooth devic
es in some countries. Infor-
mation is available from the local authorities.
● In some vehicles equipped with a parking
dist
ance warning system, the volume of the
audio source is automatically lowered when
the gear is engaged.
● If the steering wheel has a voice control
button
, it will not work in this radio mod-
el, so it has no function in relation to the ra-
dio. Rotary knobs and buttons

and
ards DAB, DAB+ and DMB audio.
In Europe, digital radio broadcasts on the
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”.

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.

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 t

une 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:
● 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
DAB station.
● Automatic DAB - FM switching : The ra
dio
attempts 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 corre-
sponding DAB station returns, after a short
time the unit will switch back to DAB mode
and FM will no longer be displayed.

Some stations also broadcast additional text
information known as radio text. The INFO

ay experience poor reception or may be
cut off in areas where the signal is weak.
Most electronic devices are shielded against
HF (high-frequency) signals. In any case, the
electronic equipment may not be protected
from the HF signals of the telephone man-
agement system. This may cause interfer-
ence. WARNING
Speaking by telephone and operating the mo-
bi l

e telephone whilst driving can distract you
from the road and cause an accident.
● Always drive carefully and responsibly.
● 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).
● In areas of little or no coverage or, in some
case
s, in a tunnel, garage or underpass, your
call may be cut off and you may not be able to
make even emergency calls. WARNING
If a mobile telephone is not secured or is in-
corr ectly

secured in the vehicle, it could move
around the passenger compartment in the
event of a sudden driving manoeuvre or emer-
gency stop, resulting in injury. ●
Whil e the

vehicle is in motion, always se-
cure the mobile telephone properly outside
the airbag deployment zone. WARNING
Mobile telephones may interfere with and al-
t er the c orr

ect operation of pacemakers if
they are carried directly over them.
● Maintain a minimum distance of at least
20 centimetre
s between the aerials of the
mobile telephone and the pacemaker, as mo-
bile phones may affect the functioning of
pacemakers.
● Do not carry your switched-on mobile tele-
phone in your br
east pocket directly over the
pacemaker.
● If you suspect interference, switch off the
mobi
le telephone immediately. CAUTION
High speeds, poor weather or road conditions
and the quality of

reception can all affect the
quality of a telephone conversation in the ve-
hicle. Note
● Re s

trictions on the use of devices using
Bluetooth ®
technology may apply in some
countries. For further information, contact the
local authorities. 26
