Introduction
The information in this manual supplements the Owner's Manual.
This manual describes features that may or may not be on your specific vehicle either because they are optional or due to changes subsequent to the printing of this manual. Please refer to the purchase documentation to confirm each of the features found on the vehicle.
Certain descriptions, including those for display and menu functions, may not apply to your vehicle due to model variant, country specifications, special equipment, or accessories. This manual depicts left-hand drive vehicles. Operation is similar for right­hand drive vehicles.
Keep this manual with the Owner's Manual in the vehicle, so it will be there if it is needed. If the vehicle is sold, leave this manual in the vehicle.
Theft-deterrent feature
The theft-deterrent feature works by learning a portion of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the infotainment system. The infotainment system does not operate if it is stolen or moved to a different vehicle.

Usage
Overview (with navigation)
Read this manual thoroughly to become familiar with how the navigation system operates.
The navigation system includes navigation and audio functions.
Introduction 9
9 Warning
The usage of the navigation system does not release the driver from responsibility for a correct, vigilant attitude in road traffic. The related traffic regulations must always be followed.
Only make entries (e.g., addresses) with the vehicle stationary.
If a navigation instruction contradicts traffic regulations, the traffic regulations always apply.
Keeping the eyes on the road and the mind on the drive is important for safe driving. The navigation system has built-in features intended to help with this by disabling some features when driving. A grayed-out function is not available when the vehicle is moving.
All functions are available when the vehicle is parked. Do the following before driving:
■ Become familiar with the navigation system operation, buttons on the faceplate and touch-sensitive screen buttons.
■ Set up the audio by presetting favourite stations, setting the tone and adjusting the speakers.
■ Set up the navigation features, such as entering an address or a preset destination.
■ Set up phone numbers in advance so they can be called easily by pressing a single button or a single voice command for navigation systems equipped with phone capability.
9 Warning
The infotainment system has to be used so that the vehicle can be driven safely at all times. If in doubt
stop your vehicle and operate the infotainment system while the vehicle is stationary.
Use the navigation system to:
■ Plan a route.
■ Select a destination using the various methods and choices.
■ Follow navigation route and map guidance with voice prompts, only if permitted by traffic laws, controls and conditions.
■ Receive RDS broadcast announcements.
9 Warning
In some areas one-way streets and other roads and entrances (e.g. pedestrian zones) that you are not allowed to turn into are not marked on the map. In such areas the infotainment system will issue a warning that must be accepted. Here you must pay particular
10 Introduction
attention to one-way streets, roads, and entrances that you are not allowed to drive into.
Always be alert and obey traffic and roadway laws and instructions, regardless of the guidance from the navigation system. Because the navigation system uses street map information that does not include all traffic restrictions or the latest road changes, it may suggest using a road that is now closed for construction or a turn that is prohibited by signs at the intersection. Always evaluate whether following the system's directions is safe and legal for the current conditions.
When the navigation system is turned on, a screen may appear with information that must be read and acknowledged before accessing some navigation features.
After acknowledging the start up information, the NAV (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) functions are accessible. Information can now be
entered or deleted and other functions accessed. See instructions later in this section.
Every 50 times the vehicle is started and the navigation system is turned on, the Attention! screen appears. After reading the caution, select Ok to load the map DVD information. If Ok is not selected, all control buttons except for NAV (Navigation) and DEST (Destination) can be accessed.
When getting started, set preferences or delete information in the navigation system using various options.
NAV (navigation) menu Use the navigation menu screen to
access the navigation system settings 3 50.
■ Press the NAV button to view the navigation map screen. The map and the current vehicle location display.

Radio data system (RDS) Radio data system (RDS) is a service
of the FM stations that helps to find the desired station and its fault-free reception. RDS stations are
recognised by the programme names rather than the transmission frequency.
Configuring RDS To open the menu for the RDS configuration:
1. Press the CONFIG button.
2. Select Radio and then RDS options.
Switching RDS on and off Set RDS to On or Off. The following advantages result through activating RDS:
■ On the display the programme name of the set station appears instead of its frequency.
■ 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, for example, information about the current programme.
Switching regionalisation on and off RDS must be activated for regionalisation. At certain times some RDS stations broadcast regionally different programmes on different frequencies.
1. Set Regional to On or Off. Only alternative frequencies (AF) with the same regional programmes are selected.
2. If regionalisation is switched off, alternative frequencies of the stations are selected without regard to regional programmes.
24 Radio
RDS scrolling text Some RDS stations use the lines for indicating the name of the programme to indicate additional information. During this process the programme name is hidden. To block out the display of the additional information, set text scroll freeze to On.
DAB The digital radio system DAB (digital
audio broadcasting) is a universal broadcast system.
DAB stations are indicated by the programme name instead of the broadcasting frequency.
General information
■ With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be broadcast on a single frequency.
■ Besides high-quality digital audio services, DAB is also able to transmit programme-associated data and a multitude of other data services including travel and traffic information.
■ As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out by a broadcasting station (even if the signal is very weak), sound reproduction is ensured.
■ There is no fading (weakening of the sound) that is typical of AM or FM reception; the DAB signal is reproduced at a constant volume.
■ If the DAB signal is too vague to be interpreted by the receiver, reception is interrupted completely. This incident can be avoided by activating Auto ensemble linking and/or Auto linking DAB-FM. See “Configuring DAB” below.
■ Interference caused by stations on nearby frequencies (typical of AM and FM reception) does not occur in connection 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 worsened in such cases.
■ The radio is also capable of reveicing DAB+ and DMB-Audio.
Configuring DAB
1. Press the CONFIG button.
2. Select Radio and then DAB.
The following options are available for selection in the configuration menu:
■ Auto ensemble linking: with this function activated, the device switches over to another service of the active DAB ensemble (if available) when the DAB signal is too vague to be interpreted 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 vague to be interpreted by the receiver.
■ Dynamic audio adaptation: 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
Radio 25
can be raised to a point where the quiet sounds are audible, without the loud sounds being too loud.
■ Frequency band: after selection of this option, DAB wavebands to be received by the Infotainment system can be defined.
DAB announcements Besides their music programmes, numerous DAB stations broadcast various announcement categories. Radio or CD/MP3 playing is interrupted when any announcements are pending.
To select several announcement categories at the same time:

RDS stations that broadcast traffic news. To access, press the TP button.
Radio reception
Frequency interference and static can occur during normal radio reception if items such as mobile phone chargers, vehicle convenience accessories and external electronic devices are plugged into the accessory power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the item from the accessory power outlet.
FM
FM signals only reach about 10 to 40 miles. Although the radio has a built-in electronic circuit that automatically works to reduce interference, some static can occur, especially around tall buildings or hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM, especially at night. The longer range can cause station frequencies to interfere with each other. Static can occur when things like storms and power lines interfere with radio reception. When this happens, try reducing the treble on the radio.
Mobile phone usage
Mobile phone usage can cause interference with the vehicle's radio.
Multi-band antenna
The multi-band antenna is located on the roof of the vehicle. The antenna is used for the AM/FM radio and GPS (Global positioning system); if the vehicle has these features. Keep the antenna clear of obstructions for clear reception. If the vehicle has a sunroof and it is open, the performance of the AM/ FM radio and GPS can be affected.
Diversity antenna system
The FM antenna is a hidden self­tuning system. It optimizes the FM signals relative to the vehicle's position and radio station source. No maintenance or adjustments are needed.
