Select the preset screen button on
which the desired radio station is

Radio data system Radio data system (RDS) is a service
of FM stations that considerably
facilitates the finding of the desired
station and its fault-free reception.
Advantages of RDS ● On the display, the programme name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
● During a station search, the Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.● The Infotainment system always
tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set station by means of AF
(alternative frequency).
● Depending on the station that is received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain e.g. information on
the current programme.
RDS configuration To use the RDS functions, RDS has
to be activated.
Activate the FM waveband. Select
Menu to open the corresponding
waveband-specific submenu and
then select the Audio settings tab.
Activate or deactivate RDS.
Traffic programme Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If the traffic service is switched on, the
current audio source is interrupted for the duration of the traffic
announcement.
Activate the FM waveband. Select

depending on the region in which
the unit is being installed. The
installer shall comply with any
additional local requirements
mandated by the country and / or
municipality.
Do not use this product if the
flexible power cord or the electric
vehicle cable is frayed, has broken insulation, or shows any other
signs of damage.
Do not use this product if the
enclosure or the vehicle plug is
broken, cracked, open, or shows
any other indication of damage.
The plug must be plugged into an
appropriate electrical outlet that is
properly installed in accordance
with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify the
plug provided with the product. If
the plug does not fit the electrical
outlet, have a proper electrical
outlet installed by a qualified
electrician. If ground is missing,the charge cord indicators will
indicate an electrical system fault
and the vehicle may not charge.

charge cord from the electrical
outlet and re-plugging it.
● c is off and d flashes red:

plugging it. If the fault remains,
consult a workshop for a service.
● c solid green and d flashes red:
charge cord fault: The charge cord has detected a potential
problem with the charge cord.
Reset the charge cord by
unplugging from the electrical
outlet and re-plugging it. If the fault remains, seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If no status indicator is lit, ensure the
electrical outlet is powered.
Charge level selection9 Warning
If the capacity of the electrical
circuit or AC socket is not known,
only use the lowest charge level
until the circuit capacity has been
inspected by a qualified
electrician. Using a charge level
that exceeds either the electrical
circuit or the AC outlet capacity
may start a fire or damage the
electrical circuit.
Note
By choosing a reduced charge level,
the charging time is increased.
Charge limit selection can be made
using the Charge limit preference
screen on the Info Display.

Grounding instructions This product must be grounded. If this
product should malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a path of
least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord that
has an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.9 Warning
Improper connection of the charge
cord ground may cause electrical
shock. Check with a qualified
electrician if there is doubt as to
whether the charge circuit is
properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the product.
If it will not fit the electrical outlet,
have a proper electrical outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
Charge cord mounting
instructions
Choose an appropriate, solid location for mounting the charge cord. The
appropriate height for mounting the
charge cord is 91 cm from the floor.
Space the holes 18.7 cm apart.
Install the mounting screws leaving
the head of the screws 5 mm from the
surface.
Securely mount the charge cord on to
the screws.
Connect the wall plug to the electrical
outlet.
Connect the vehicle plug to the
charge port.

260Customer informationThis data includes, for example:● Vehicle status information (e.g. wheel rotation rate, speed,
movement delay, lateral
acceleration, "seatbelts
fastened" display),
● Ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor,
distance sensor).
Most of this data is volatile and is
processed only in the vehicle itself, and not beyond the operating time.
Moreover, many control units include
data storage device (amongst others the vehicle key). This is used to allow
information to be documented
temporarily or permanently on vehicle condition, component stress,
maintenance requirements and
technical events and errors.
The following information, for
example, is stored:
● System component operating states (e.g. fill level, tyre
pressure, battery status),
● State of charge of the high voltage battery, estimated range
(in the case of electric vehicles),● Faults and defects in important system components (e.g. lights,
brakes),
● System reactions in special driving situations (e.g. triggeringof an airbag, actuation of the
stability control systems),
● Information on events damaging the vehicle.
In special cases (e.g. if the vehicle
has detected a malfunction), it may be
necessary to save data that would
otherwise just be volatile.
When you use services, the operating
data saved can be read together with the vehicle identification number andused if necessary. Staff working for
the service net-work (e.g. garages, manufacturers) or third parties (e.g.
breakdown services) can read the
data from the vehicle. Services
include repair services, maintenance
processes, warranty cases and
quality assurance measures.
Data is generally read via the OBD
(On-Board Diagnostics) port
prescribed by law in the vehicle. The operating data which has been read
out documents the technical conditionof the vehicle or individual
components and assists with fault
diagnosis, compliance with warranty
obligations and quality improvement.
This data, in particular information on component stress, technical events,
operator errors and other faults, is
transmitted to the manufacturer
where appropriate, together with the vehicle identification number. The
manufacturer is also subject to
product liability. The manufacturer
potentially also needs operating data
from vehicles for product recalls.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be
reset by a service company when
carrying out servicing or repairs.

Comfort settings and custom settings
can be stored in the vehicle and
