First read and observe the safety warn-
ings on page 3 and the introductory
information on page 12.
RDS (radio data system) is a radio data service
which enables additional FM services, such as the
display of station names, automatic station track-
ing, radio text and TP traffic news (TP).
RDS is not supported by all units and is not availa-
ble everywhere or on every FM radio station.
RDS can be deactivated in some country and unit
versions

Without RDS
it is not possible to use

services
.
Station name and automatic station tracking
If RDS is available, station names can be dis-
played in the
RADIO
main menu and in the
FM
station list
.
FM radio stations may occasionally or continuously
broadcast different content on different regional
frequencies under the same station name (e.g. Ra-
dio 2).
By default, automatic station tracking always
switches to the currently selected station's frequen-
cy that offers the best reception, as the vehicle
travels from one area to the next. As a result, you
may lose the regional programme you are listening
to.
Automatic frequency changing and automatic sta-
tion tracking can be deactivated in the
FM setup
