General information
The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
Using the FM, AM or DAB radio
functions, you can register a great
number of stations on various
favourites pages.
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 a cable or
via Bluetooth.
The digital sound processor provides
you with several preset equaliser
modes for sound optimisation.
In addition, the Infotainment system is
equipped with a Phone portal that
allows comfortable and safe use of
your mobile phone in the vehicle.
Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using the control
panel or the controls on the steering
wheel.
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
9Warning
Drive safely at all times when
using the Infotainment system.
If in doubt, stop the vehicle before
operating the Infotainment
system.
9Warning
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

Introduction 103
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 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 improves 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.
FM menu
To configure the RDS settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the FM waveband.
Press the MENU knob to display the
FM menu.
RDS
Set RDS to On or Off.
Traffic Programme (TP)
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.
If the radio traffic service is activated,
[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station or media
played is not a radio traffic service
station, [ ] is displayed and a search
is started automatically for the next

Radio 119
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, [ ]
remains on the screen.
If a traffic announcement is
broadcasted on the respective radio
traffic service station, a message is
displayed.
To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated, dismiss the alert.
Region
Sometimes RDS stations broadcast
regionally different programmes on
different frequencies.
Set Region 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.
Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.
Advantages of DAB
■ 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.
If the DAB signal is too weak to be
picked up by the receiver, reception
is interrupted completely. This can
be avoided by activating DAB to
DAB Linking and/or DAB to FM
Linking in the DAB option 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 best receivable FM
stations. If TP 3 118 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM
station which is currently best
