General information

The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.

Using the FM, AM or DAB radio
functions, you may register up to 35
stations on seven favourites pages.

For the AM, FM and DAB wavebands
the radio is equipped with fifteen
automatically assignable channel
presets. Furthermore, 35 channels
can be allocated manually
(waveband-independent).

You can connect external data
storage devices, e.g. iPod, USB
devices, or other auxiliary devices to
the Infotainment system as further
audio sources; either via cable or via
Bluetooth.

Using the controls and menus of the
Infotainment system, you can operate
approved smartphone applications,
e.g. a navigation app.

In addition the Infotainment system is
equipped with a phone portal that
allows for comfortable and safe use of
your mobile phone in the vehicle.

Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using the controls on
the steering wheel.

The well-thought-out design of the
control elements, the touch screen
and the clear displays enable you to
control the system easily and
intuitively.

Important information on
operation and traffic safety

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.

Introduction 5

Radio reception

Radio reception may be disrupted by
static, noise, distortion or loss of

■ multipath reception due to
reflection,

■ shadowing.

Theft-deterrent feature

The Infotainment system is equipped
with an electronic security system for
the purpose of theft deterrent.

The Infotainment system therefore
functions only in your vehicle and is
worthless to a thief.

24 Radio

Radio data system (RDS)

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 about the current
programme.

RDS option menu

To open the menu for the RDS
configuration:

Press the ; button and then select
the Settings screen button.

Select Radio settings and then RDS
option to display the respective menu.

Note
If RDS is set to Off, not all menu
items shown above are displayed.

Traffic announcements (TA)

Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If
the traffic service is switched on, the
currently active function is interrupted
for the duration of the traffic
announcement.

Switching the traffic announcements
on and off

Set the TA menu item to On or Off.
If the radio traffic service is activated,

[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station is not a
radio traffic service station, TP is
greyed out and a search is started
automatically for the next radio traffic
service station. As soon as a radio
traffic service station is found, TP is
highlighted. If no radio traffic service
station is found, TP remains greyed
out.

If a traffic announcement is
broadcasted on the respective
station, a message is displayed.

To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated: select the Cancel screen
button in the message.

TP volume
The volume of traffic announcements

can be preset to a value between 0
and 63.

Radio 25

RDS configuration

Set RDS to On or Off.

Radio text
If the RDS function is activated and a

RDS station is currently received,
information about the current
programme and the music track
currently playing are displayed below
the programme name.

To show or hide the information, set
Radio text to On or Off.

Regionalisation
Sometimes RDS stations broadcast

regionally different programmes on
different frequencies.

Set Regional to On or Off.
If regionalisation is switched on,

alternative frequencies with the same
regional programmes are selected
where necessary. If regionalisation is
switched off, alternative frequencies
of the stations are selected without
regard to regional programmes.

PSN scroll freeze
Some RDS stations do not only

indicate the programme service name
(PSN) on the display, but also show
additional information about the
current programme. If additional
information is displayed, the
programme name is hidden.

To prevent additional information
from being displayed, set PSN scroll
freeze to On.

Digital audio broadcasting

Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.

DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.

General information

■ With DAB, several radio
programmes (services) can be
broadcasted on a single frequency
(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 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 weak to be
picked up by the receiver, reception
is interrupted completely. This
incident can be avoided by
activating Service linking DAB and/
or Service linking FM in the DAB
option menu (see below).

26 Radio

■ Interference caused by stations
that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is 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 impaired
in such cases.

DAB option menu

configuration:

some categories from the available
options.

Select the OK screen button to
confirm your choice.

DAB configuration

In the DAB option menu you can
setup features concerning the DAB
radio reception.

Service linking DAB
If this function is activated, the device

switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB

Radio 27

ensemble (frequency, if available)
when the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver.

Set Service linking DAB to On or Off.

Service linking FM
If this function is activated, the device

switches over to a corresponding FM
station of the active DAB service (if
available) when the DAB signal is too
weak to be picked up by the receiver.

Set Service linking FM to On or Off.

Dynamic range compression
If this function is activated, the

dynamic range of the DAB signal is
reduced. That means that the level of
loud sounds is reduced and the level
of quiet sounds is increased.
Therefore the volume of the
Infotainment system can be raised to
a point where the quiet sounds are
audible, without the loud sounds
being too loud.

Set Dynamic range ctrl to On or Off.

Selecting a frequency band
With this function you may define

which DAB wavebands are to be
received by the Infotainment system.

Choose L-Band only
(1452 - 1492 MHz, earth and satellite
radio) Band lll only (174 - 240 MHz,
earth radio) or Both.

Radio text
If this function is activated, additional

information about the programme
currently received or the music track
