110 Radio
Traffic announcements (TA)
Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If
this function is activated, only traffic
service stations are searched for and
played.
Radio and media playback is
interrupted for the duration of the
traffic announcements.
To activate or deactivate the traffic
announcement standby facility of the
Infotainment system, press TA. A
corresponding message is displayed
confirming your action.
If traffic announcements are
activated, TA is displayed in the top
line of the screen. If a station is not a
radio traffic service station, TA is
crossed out.
Digital audio broadcasting
DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information
● 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 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 TA
3
109 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TA if DAB reception should not
be interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.
Alternative frequencies
If the DAB signal of a service is too
weak to be picked up by the receiver,
the Infotainment system can
automatically tune to an alternative
FM frequency to continue the
programme.
Activate the FM waveband and then
press OK to display the waveband
menu. Activate DAB FM tracking.
