The station that you are currently listening to
is shown in the middle of the screen. For sta- tions compatible with RDS, if the reception
quality is
sufficient, the station name may be
displayed instead of its frequency, e.g. RA-
DIO 21.
RDS and automatic station tracking RDS is a radio data service that allows the
dis
p
lay of the station name, automatic sta-
tion tracking and the TP function (traffic infor-
mation station ››› page 8).
With the automatic station tracking the unit
always switches to the frequency that offers
the best reception of the current radio station
as the vehicle travels from one area to the
next. If the reception is poor, the unit may be
muted for a short time as it searches for alter-
native frequencies (AF).
RDS is not available everywhere or on every
FM radio station.
Depending on the country and the unit, the
RDS and switching to alternative frequencies
(AF) may be deactivated in the system set-
tings ›››
page 18. 1)
This depends on the country and unit in question.

If the function is active, while in motion it always
changes the frequency of the set radio station,
which at that time can be set better. This happens
even if it interrupts a set regional broadcast.
If the function is deactivated, there is no frequen-
cy change. The frequency tuned is active until re-
ception is interrupted.
DAB Advanced settings :
DAB traffic announcements
: If there are
announcements of a traffic radio station available,
they are played directly in the active DAB Radio
mode. The traffic announcements of FM traffic news
stations are ignored. If this feature is deactivated or
if the current DAB set does not offer a TP service,
traffic announcements of an FM traffic radio station
are reproduced directly in the active DAB Radio
mode ››› page 8.
Other DAB alerts
: DAB announcements
(news, sport, weather, etc.) will interrupt the current
DAB radio mode.
DAB-DAB station tracking
: Automatic sta-
tion tracking in DAB radio mode. If the current DAB
station is broadcast on another channel due to a
change in location, this channel is switched to auto-
matically (factory setting).

: Switching to
FM frequency band is allowed for automatic station
tracking ››› page 19.

Functional description of speed-dependent
volume adjustment (GALA)
The speed-dependent volume regulation au-
tomatically increases the volume as the vehi-
cle speed increases.
You can set the degree to which the volume
increases with speed on a scale between 1
and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases on-
ly slightly as the speed of the vehicle increa-
ses. At a high setting the volume increases
further. At 0 speed-dependent volume ad-
justment is switched off.
DAB-FM LINKING Function
If reception of the currently selected DAB sta-
tion is lost (e.g. no DAB available), the unit
attempts to find the station on the FM fre-
quency band and tune to it.
Automatic station tracking between frequen-
cy bands only works if the DAB station and
the FM station transmit the same station
identifier or the DAB signal indicates a corre-
sponding station on the FM frequency band. »
