General information

The Infotainment system provides you with state-of-the-art in-car infotainment.
For the AM, FM and DAB (not CD 300) wavebands the radio is equipped with twelve automatically assignable channel presets. Furthermore, 36 channels can be allocated manually (waveband­independent).
The integrated audio player will entertain you with audio CDs and MP3/WMA CDs.
Furthermore, you can connect external data storage devices, e.g. iPod, MP3 player or USB stick (not CD 300), or a portable CD player to the Infotainment system as further audio sources.
The digital sound processor provides you with several preset equalizer modes for sound optimisation.
The navigation system (only Navi 600 / Navi 900) with dynamic route planning will reliably guide you
to your destination, and, if desired, will automatically avoid traffic jams or other traffic problems.
Optionally, the Infotainment system can be operated using controls on the steering wheel or via the speech recognition system (if available).
In addition the Infotainment system can be equipped with a mobile phone portal.
The well-thought-out design of the control elements, the clear displays and a large multifunction knob 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 3
9 Warning
The usage of the navigation system (only Navi 600 / Navi 900) does not release the driver from the 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.
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 may issue a warning that must be accepted. Here you must pay particular attention to one-way streets, roads and entrances that you are not allowed to drive into.

Radio reception

Radio reception may be disrupted by static, noise, distortion or loss of reception due to
■ changes in distance from the transmitter,
■ multi-path 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.

Note If a waveband specific station list is updated the corresponding category list (if available) is also updated.
Important information on updating the station lists
The dual tuner in the Infotainment system continuously updates the station lists in the background. This ensures that, e.g., the station lists always contain the stations that can be received in the local area during a long motorway journey. As the automatic updating takes a certain amount of time, not all stations that can be received may be available at
once in the station list at a sudden change in reception area. In such circumstances the updating of the station lists can be accelerated using the corresponding command for updating a station list.
Category lists Numerous RDS stations 3 33 broadcast a PTY code, which specifies the type of programme transmitted (e.g. news). Some stations also change the PTY code depending on the content currently being transmitted.
The Infotainment system stores these stations, sorted by programme type, in the corresponding category list.
To search for a programme type determined by station: select the waveband specific category list option.
