28 Radio
General information
● DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
● With DAB, several radio
programmes (services) can be
broadcasted on a single
ensemble.
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data
services including travel and
traffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver
can pick up the signal sent out by
a broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
● Interference caused by stations
that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver, the
system switches over to the
same programme on another
DAB or FM station.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by
natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled,
the FM tuner of the Infotainment
system remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable
FM stations. If TP
3
26 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TP if DAB reception should not
be interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.
DAB announcements
Besides their music programmes, lots
of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories.
While in the DAB main menu, press
the multifunction knob to open the
DAB menu and then select
Announcements.
If you activate some or all categories,
the currently received DAB service is
interrupted when an announcement
of these categories is made.
Activate the desired categories.
