Several available DAB stations are combined
into one channel in an “ensemble”.

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 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.

information known as radio text. The INFO
