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.
Activating RDS In the radio main menu, select
OPTIONS and activate RDS.
If RDS is activated, RDS is displayed
in the bottom line of the radio main
menu.
Radio73Radio text
If RDS is activated, information on the
radio programme currently active or
the music track currently playing are
displayed below the programme
name.
To show or hide the information, go to
the OPTIONS menu and activate or
deactivate Information .
Traffic announcements
Many RDS stations broadcast traffic
news. If the traffic announcements
function is activated, radio or media
playback is interrupted for the
duration of a traffic announcement.
To activate traffic announcements, go to the OPTIONS menu and activate
TA .
If TA is activated, TA is displayed in
the bottom line of the radio main

Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB)
broadcasts radio stations digitally.DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information ● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcast on a single ensemble.
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated data and a multitude of other data services including travel andtraffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This incident can be
avoided by activating DAB-FM
auto tracking, see below.● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the FM stations with
the best reception. If Traffic
announcement 3 72 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM
station with the best reception
are issued. Deactivate Traffic
announcement if DAB reception
should not be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
FM-DAB Linking
This function enables switching from
an FM station to a corresponding
DAB station and vice versa.
74RadioSwitching from FM to DAB occurs as
soon as a corresponding DAB station
is available. Therefore, it is
recommended to store favourite
stations as DAB stations to reduce
frequent switching.
Switching from DAB to FM occurs if
the signal is too weak to be picked up by the receiver.
Activation
Precondition is that RDS is activated
before FM-DAB Linking can be
activated.
To activate FM-DAB Linking, select
OPTIONS in the radio main menu and
then activate FM-DAB Follow-up .
The following symbol will be
displayed when FM-DAB Linking is
activated:Deactivation
To deactivate FM-DAB Linking, select
OPTIONS in the radio main menu and
then deselect FM-DAB Follow-up .
FM-DAB Linking will automatically be
deactivated when RDS is
deactivated.
