available) when the DAB signal is
too weak to be picked up by the
receiver.
● Auto linking DAB-FM : with this
function activated, the device
switches over to a corresponding
FM station of the active DAB
service (if available) when the
DAB signal is too weak to be
picked up by the receiver.
● Dynamic audio adaption : with
this function activated, the dynamic range of the DAB signal is reduced. That means the level
of the loud sounds is reduced, but
not the level of the quiet sounds.
Therefore the volume of the
Infotainment system can be
raised to a point where the quiet
sounds are audible, without the
loud sounds being too loud.
● Frequency band : after selection

which DAB wavebands are to be
received by the Infotainment
