Important information on
operation and traffic safety
9 Warning
Drive safely at all times. Only
operate the Infotainment system if
the traffic conditions allow a safe
usage.
In the interest of safety, it might be
appropriate to stop the vehicle
before operating the Infotainment
system (e.g. for entries of
addresses).
9 Warning
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic. Always follow the
applicable traffic rules.
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

Radio23
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 on
the current programme.
RDS configuration
In the radio main menu select
OPTIONS and then select Radio
settings to open the menu for RDS
configuration.
Activating RDS
Select General and then activate
Station follow.
If Alternative frequency is activated,
RDS is displayed in the bottom line of
the radio main menu.
Radio text
If RDS is activated, information on the
radio programme currently active or
the music track currently playing are
displayed below the programme
name.
To show or hide the information,
activate or deactivate Display radio
text.
Traffic announcements
Many RDS stations broadcast traffic
news. If the traffic announcements
function is activated, radio or media
playback is interrupted for the
duration of a traffic announcement.
Select Announcements and then
activate or deactivate Traffic
announcement.
If Traffic announcement is activated,
TA is displayed in the bottom line of
the radio main menu.
Digital audio broadcasting
DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.
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 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.
24Radio
● 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.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
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 DAB-FM
auto tracking, see below.
● 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 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 Traffic
announcement 3 23 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM
station with the best reception
are issued. Deactivate Traffic
announcement if DAB reception
should not be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
DAB Announcements
Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all
categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
In the radio main menu select
OPTIONS, select Radio settings and
then select Announcements.
Activate the desired announcement
categories, e.g., News or Weather.
Different announcement categories
can be selected at the same time.
DAB-FM auto tracking
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.
A CD player for the playback of audio
CDs and MP3 CDs is located in the
glovebox.
Caution
Under no circumstances place
DVDs, single-CDs with a diameter
of 8 cm or shaped CDs in the audio
player.
You must not put any stickers on
CDs. These discs can get jammed
in the CD drive and ruin the player.
Replacement of the device will
then be necessary.

vehicle are detected by the navigation
system using sensors. The travelled
distance is determined by the
vehicle's speedometer signal, turning
movements on bends by a sensor.
The position is determined by the
GPS (Global Positioning System)
satellites.
By comparing the sensor signals with
the digital maps, it is possible to
determine the position with an
accuracy of approx. 10 metres.
The system will also work with poor
GPS reception. However, the
accuracy of the determination of the
position will be reduced.
After the entry of the destination
address or point of interest (nearest
petrol station, hotel, etc.), the route is
calculated from the current location to
the destination selected.
Route guidance is provided by voice
output and an arrow, as well as with
the aid of a multi-colour map display.

Important information
TMC traffic information system and
dynamic route guidance
The TMC traffic information system
receives all current traffic information
from TMC radio stations. This
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During
this process, the route is planned so
that traffic problems related to preselected criteria are avoided.
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system must receive
TMC stations in the relevant region.
Map data
All required map data is stored within
the Infotainment system.
To update the navigation map data,
we recommend to contact your Opel

Radio73
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 on
the current programme.

74Radio
Digital audio broadcasting
DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.
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 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.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
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 DAB-DAB
Linking and/or DAB-FM Linking
in the DAB menu (see below).
● 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 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 FM stations with
the best reception. If TP 3 72 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TP if DAB reception should not
be interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.
DAB Announcements
Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all
categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
Select Menu in the bottom line of the
DAB radio main menu to open the
corresponding waveband-specific
submenu.
Scroll through the list and select DAB
Announcements to display a list of the
categories available.
Activate all or just the desired
announcement categories. Different
announcement categories can be
selected at the same time.
DAB-DAB Linking
If this function is activated, the device
switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (if available) when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up by
the receiver.
Radio75
Select Menu in the bottom line of the
DAB radio main menu to open the
corresponding waveband-specific
submenu.
Scroll through the list and activate or
deactivate DAB-DAB Linking.
DAB-FM Linking
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.
Scroll through the list and activate or
deactivate DAB-FM Linking.
L Band
With this function, you may define
which DAB wavebands are to be
received by the Infotainment system.
