Safety notes WARNING
Distracting the driver in any way can lead to
an acc ident
and cause injuries. Operating the
radio system while driving can distract you
from the road traffic.
● Always drive responsibly paying careful at-
tention to the tr
affic.
● 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).
● Hearing may be impaired if using too high a
volume settin
g, even if only for short periods
of time. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you 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. 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

Unit buttons and function buttons
The labelled buttons on the unit are referred
to as “unit buttons” and are pictured as a
button symbol with blue content, e.g. MEDIAunit button
›››
Fig. 1 7 .
Ther e ar
e 6 u
nlabelled unit buttons below the
screen ››› Fig. 1 8 . These unit buttons are re-
f err
ed t
o as “function buttons” as their func-
tions depend on the active function mode.
The function assigned to a function button is
shown on the corresponding button in the
lower section of the display (e.g. ››› Fig. 2).

ted “switch-on volume” ( Volume›››
pag e 21). D
epending on the unit and country in ques-
tion, the unit i
s switched off when the engine
is turned off or the key is removed. If the unit
comes on again without the ignition being
switched on, it will switch off automatically
after 30 minutes (switch-off delay).
Energy management
If, when the ignition is switched off and the
unit switched on, the battery voltage falls be-
low the minimum onboard power supply volt-
age, an audible warning sounds and LOW
BATTERY appears. You should switch the
unit off.

Audio 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 frequencies (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred
to as “channels” and each has a channel
name e.g. 12 A .
Several DAB stations are combined into one
channel with the additional services availa-
ble in a “block”.
DAB is currently not available in all areas . In
areas without DAB, is displayed in DAB ra-
dio mode. The system and functions settings
allow in this case a change of FM station
››› page 21. In the system and functions
settings there is the configuration of other
settings for the tracking of stations and for
playing DAB notifications. Note
