NOTE
With a cold start, idling speed may be consid-erably higher than normal for certain enginetypes. This is done to get the emissions sys-tem up to normal operating temperature asquickly as possible, which minimizes exhaustemissions and protects the environment.

be displayed immediately. Album art is synchedwith the artist that you are currently listening to.
Ball game mode
This feature means that a main FM station (HD1)will broadcast live events, where the content ofthe programming is more important than soundquality, in analog mode only to help prevent thedelay between analog and digital broadcasting.The HD Radio symbol will be white during livebroadcasts and "Live" will be displayed next tothe symbol.
Benefits of digital broadcasting
Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality).
Some FM frequencies offer a greater num-ber of listening choices through "multicast-ing" (consisting of a frequency's main chan-nel and any sub-channels that may also beavailable on that particular frequency.)
When receiving a digital signal there is nomultipath disturbance or hisses/pops/crack-ling due to outside influences.
How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radioand broadcasts of this type are available in manyareas of the United States. However, there are afew key differences:
Instead of transmitting one analog signal,stations send out a bundled signal - bothanalog and digital.
An HD Radio receiver can receive both digi-tal and analog broadcasts. Depending on theterrain and location of the vehicle (which willinfluence the signal strength), the receiverwill determine which signal to receive.

Activating and deactivating the HD
Radio™
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves thefactory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and driv-ing through areas with weak HD signals (fringeareas), you may experience that the radio repeat-edly switches between analog/digital and digital/analog reception. If this happens, it may be desir-able to switch HD off.
Carry out the following to activate or deactivateHD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap onSettings.
2.Press Media and FM Radio.
3.Press HD Radio FM to activate/deactivatethe function.
If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be unableto receive digital broadcasts but it will continue tofunction as a conventional radio (analog FMreceiver). Please note that when HD is switchedoff, it will not be possible to tune in to sub-chan-nels.
Note that if you activate or deactivate HD Radioonly the selected wavelength band is affected.
