How HD broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio
and broadcasts of this type are available in many
areas of the United States. However, there are a
few key differences:
•
Instead of transmitting one analogue signal,
stations send out a bundled signal – both
analogue and digital.
•
An HD radio receiver can receive both digital
and analogue broadcasts. Depending on the
terrain and location of the vehicle (which will
influence the signal strength), the receiver
will determine which signal to receive.

HD Radio™ - switching on and off
The factory setting for HD radio is off.
Switching HD on or off
If HD radio is switched on when driving through
areas with weak HD signals (fringe areas), you
may experience that the radio repeatedly
switches between analogue/digital and digital/
analogue reception. If this happens, it may be
desirable to switch HD off.
To do so:
1. Be sure the infotainment system is switched
on and in one of the AM or FM modes.
2. Press OK/MENU in the center console con-
trol panel.
3. Turn TUNE and move the marker to
Radio .
4. Press OK/MENU to turn HD off (the X will
disappear from the box on the display
screen).
This will disable the radio's capability to receive
digital broadcasts but it will continue to function
as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM receiver.
Please note that when HD is switched off, it will
not be possible to tune to sub-channels (see the
following section for a more detailed explanation
of sub-channels).
Repeat steps 2-4 above to reactivate HD (an X
will appear in the box on the display screen).
Please note that this will only switch HD on or off
for the selected waveband (AM, FM1, etc.).
