General information

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

The radio can easily be used by
registering a large number of FM, AM
and DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
radio stations with the 1...6 preset
buttons.

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.

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

Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using the instrument
panel controls, the controls on the
steering wheel or the speech
recognition function.

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

Note
This manual describes all options
and features available for the
various Infotainment systems.
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.

Important information on
operation and traffic safety

9 Warning

The Infotainment system must be
used so that the vehicle can be
driven safely at all times. If in

Introduction 5

doubt, stop the vehicle and
operate the Infotainment system
while the vehicle is stationary.

9 Warning

The usage of the navigation
system 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

Areas such as one-way streets
and pedestrian zones are not
marked on the navigation system
map. In such areas, the system

may issue a warning that must be
accepted. Therefore, pay
particular attention to one-way
streets and other roads and
entrances that must not be driven
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 deterrence.

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

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 set station appears
instead of its frequency.

■ During station search the
Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.

■ The Infotainment system always
tunes in to 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 on the
current programme.

RDS Options menu

To open the menu for the RDS
configuration, press the CONFIG
button and then select the Radio
Settings menu item.

Select RDS Options to display the
respective submenu.

Activating the RDS function

Note
If RDS is deactivated, not all menu
items of the RDS Options menu are

Regional

RDS stations sometimes broadcast

different frequencies.

If Regional is activated, only
alternative frequencies (AF) with the
same regional programmes are
selected.

26 Radio

If Regional is deactivated, alternative
frequencies of the stations are
selected without regard to regional
programmes.

Text Scroll Freeze

Some RDS stations do not only show
the programme service name on the
display, but also additional
information on the current
programme. If additional information
is displayed, the programme name is
hidden.

To prevent additional information
from being displayed, activate the
Text Scroll Freeze menu item.

Radio Text

If RDS and the reception of an RDS
station are activated, information on

Digital audio broadcasting

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

General information

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

■ 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.

■ Interference caused by stations
that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not occur
with DAB.

If the DAB signal is too weak to be
picked up by the receiver, the
system switches over to the same
programme on another DAB or FM
station.

■ 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.

■ When DAB reception is enabled,
the FM tuner of the Infotainment
system remains active in the

background and continually
searches for the best receivable FM
stations. If TP 3 25 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM
station which is currently best
received are issued. Deactivate TP,
if DAB reception should not be
interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.

DAB announcements

Besides their music programmes, lots
of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories.

When in the DAB main menu, press
the multifunction knob to open the
DAB menu and then select
Announcements.

If you activate some or all categories,
the currently received DAB service is
interrupted when an announcement
of these categories is made.

Activate the desired categories.
