Introduction
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, as well as with MP3/
WMA DVDs (only DVD 800).
The integrated changer unit (only
CDC 400) of the CD player can take
up to six 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 CD 500 /
DVD 800) 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.
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.
9 Warning
The usage of the navigation
system (only CD 500 / DVD 800)
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 will 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 for a thief.

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 32
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.
