Vehicle equipment

i This manual describes all the standard

which was available at the time of pur-
chase. Country-specific differences are
possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle
may not feature all functions described
here. This also refers to safety-related sys-
tems and functions.
Radio mode and DAB radio mode
Introduction
i
Portable electronic devices in the vehicle
may seriously impair radio and DAB radio
reception.
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is an opti-
mised digital transmission standard designed
for the mobile reception of radio transmis-
sions. Several programmes are combined
into so-called ensembles and transmitted on
a single frequency. Digital radio stations can
be transmitted nationally, regionally or
locally.
Some stations only transmit programmes at
certain times. If you have selected a station
that is subsequently removed from the
ensemble, it will no longer be received. You
will continue to receive the other pro-
grammes in the ensemble. You must then
select another programme.
i DAB cannot be received everywhere in
Europe.
