Care of your KeyCard/
TMC DriveCard
To ensure that the cards will function properly it is important that the contacts are free
from any foreign particles. Avoid direct skin
contact.
Never leave the cards exposed to direct
sunlight.
If necessary, clean the KeyCard contacts
using a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
When outside of the vehicle, keep the TMC
DriveCard in its cover.
Never bend the KeyCard or DriveCards. This could result in their destruction.
Page 14
If “SEARCH” appears in the display when
the radio is switched on or one of the stored
frequencies recalled, the unit is already automatically searching for an alternative frequency.
“SEARCH” will disappear from the display
when the alternative frequency has been
found or after the frequency band has run
through completely.
If the reception quality of the programme
selected deteriorates beyond a certain point:
• Tune into another station.
REG - Regional programme
Certain radio programmes are split up at
different times during the day into regional
programmes offering local information. The
1st programme broadcast by NDR, for example, offers programmes with different
contents in the northern German states of
Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower
Saxony at certain times of the day.
If you are listening to a particular regional
programme and wish to continue doing so,
• press AF for approx. 2 sec.
“REG ON” will appear in the display.
If you leave the service area of the regional
programme you are tuned into, or if you
would like to take full advantage of RDS
service, switch to “REG OFF”.

can be reduced to an absolute minimum if
you activate SHARX ON.
If necessary, refer to the section on “DSC
programming – SHARX”.
PTY - Programme Type
PTY is an RDS service which an increasing
number of more broadcasting stations have
