The AS level can also be activated
and deactivated using the FM/AM
button 3 17.

Autostore (AS)

Automatic storing (AS) of any
receivable station is possible in all
wavebands. These stations are
stored in a separate AS memory.
To automatically store stations,
proceed as follows:
1. Select the required waveband.
2. Enable/disable on standby for
traffic announcements if desired
3 19.
3. Hold down the AS button until you
hear the confirmation signal.
The radio changes over to the AS
level of the selected waveband (FM-
AS or AM-AS).
The automatic station storing is
started.
The 9 best receivable stations in the
selected waveband are stored to
memory slots 1 to 9.
After the stations have been stored,
the desired station can be selected by
pressing the appropriate station
button.
RDS is switched on automatically
when automatic storing is enabled.
First, all receivable RDS stations are
stored.
If on standby for traffic announcement
is switched on prior to or during
automatic storing, the radio will select
a memory slot with a traffic
announcement station on completion
of the automatic station search.
If on standby for traffic announcement
is switched on during automatic
storing, then the automatic station
search will remain active until at least
one traffic programme is found.

Storing new stations with AS

If you drive out of the reception area
of a stored station, new stations need
to be stored.

Calling up a station

The desired waveband and the
desired mode need to be active 3 17.
Radio
Press the AS button to activate the AS

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.
■ On 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,
for example, information about the
current programme.
