conforming to the DVB-T standard.

If the
reception deteriorates, the TV receiver
automatically switches to an alternative
frequency with digital or analogue trans-
mission transmitting the same programme
content with better reception, as soon as it
is able to get stable reception from a cor-
responding channel.
If the vehicle is travelling faster than ap-
proximately 5 km/h, the picture and tele-
text automatically switches off in TV mode.
The following message appears in the dis-
play for a short while: “In order not to dis-
tract the driver, the picture is faded out
while the vehicle is in motion” .
As soon as the vehicle speed drops below
about 5 km/h, the picture switches back
on again.
The constantly changing reception condi-
tions while the vehicle is in motion can in-
terrupt the signal. If the reception is too
poor, COMAND can switch off the sound
and freeze or hide the picture. You will see
corresponding symbols in the display.
