Care and maintenance
To avoid deterioration of the tone qua­
lity, clean the tape head with the spe­
cial cleaning tape available through
your authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer.
Radio anti-theft protection
Removal of the radio with the vehicle
anti-theft alarm armed will render the
radio inoperative indicated by a
dashed line across the display.
Automatic Antenna
The antenna switch can be actuated
with the radio switched on and the key
in steering lock positions 1 or 2.
• If the antenna switch is in the cen­
ter position, the antenna extends
automatically to medium height,
• if the antenna switch is engaged
in the upper position, the antenna
extends fully,
• if the antenna switch is engaged
in the lower position, the antenna
will not extend or will retract com­
pletely.
The height of the antenna can be
adjusted to any intermediate position
by actuating the antenna switch:
• If the antenna switch is in the
center position, the antenna will
extend to medium height. The
antenna can be further extended
or retracted to any height by rock­
ing the switch (not engaging it).
• If the antenna is to be retracted,
e.g. going through car wash, etc.,
engage switch in lower position.
When the key is turned to steering
lock position 0 or the radio is turned
off, the antenna will retract completely.
