traffic information and radio text.With the RDS activated:
● the programme name of the chosen station appears on the
display instead of its frequency
● during an automatic station search, the Infotainment system
tunes into RDS stations only
● the Infotainment system always tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the
chosen station, by means of an
Alternative Frequency (AF ).
RDS functions
Incorporated within the RDS are the
following information fields:
● AF: Alternative Frequencies
● TA: Traffic Announcements
● TP: Traffic Programmes

CDs.
Important information about audio
CDs and MP3 CDsCaution
Under no circumstances place
DVDs, single-CDs with a diameter of 8 cm or shaped CDs in the audio
player.
You must not put any stickers on
CDs. These discs can get jammed
in the CD drive and ruin the drive.
An expensive replacement of the
device will then be necessary.
The following CD formats can be
used:
● CD-ROM ( Radio with CD player ).
● CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW (Radio with CD / MP3 player ).
The following sampling frequencies
for MP3 CDs can be played
( Radio with CD / MP3 player only):

CD-Rs and CD-RWs used must be
burned in compliance with the
specification ISO9660.
● Audio CDs with copy protection, which are not in compliance with
the audio CD standard, may not
play correctly or not at all.
● On mixed mode CDs (combinations of audio and data,e.g. MP3), only the MP3 audio
tracks will be detected and
played.
● Self-recorded CD-Rs and CD- RWs are more vulnerable to
mishandling than prerecorded
CDs. Correct handling,
especially in the case of self-
recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs,
must be ensured; see below.
● Avoid leaving fingerprints when you change CDs.
