Display of station information in DAB
mode. The DAB radio receiver supports the 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”.
Starting Digital radio mode ● From the RADIO main menu pre
ss the BAND function button and select
D

The D AB r
a
dio station that was last selected
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. 24.
Additional DAB stations (Secondary Service
Components)
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
From the main screenPress the name of the main
station

the main station
From the station listSelect the additional station
from the list
The DAB main menu shows the name of the
ad
dition
al selected station on the right
alongside the abbreviated name of the main
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 36:
● 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 »

● 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.
Radio text is displayed in the upper half of
the screen above the memory buttons
