the radio.  
Always make sure that you are still able to  
hear any warning signals coming from out-  
side the vehicle, such as police or fire en-  
gine sirens, so that you can react accord-  
ingly.  
Warning note  
Danger of damaging the automatic  
power antenna in a car wash  
The selected values will appear in the  
display. The last setting is stored auto-

The power antenna will retract, if it  
doesn’t, press ON again.  
Switching AUD off  
Press button briefly.  
If you do not change the tone within  
8 sec., the AUD mode will quit auto-  
matically.  
Consequently, you should always select a  
moderate volume for playing your car radio

More and more radio stations broadcast  
RDS information along with their regular  
programming.  
As soon as a programme has been identi-  
fied, the station name including a regional  
identifier, if applicable, will appear in the dis-

REG - regional programme  
Certain radio programmes are split up at  
times into regional programmes offering lo-  
cal information. The 1st programme broad-  
cast by NDR, for example, offers pro-  
grammes with different contents in the north-  
ern German states of Schleswig-Holstein,  
Hamburg and Lower Saxony at certain times  
of the day.

makes sure that the radio always tunes into  
the strongest frequency of the currently se-  
lected programme automatically.  
This function is activated when “AF” appears  
in the display.  
Press SRC/SC.  
If you are listening to a particular regional  
programme and wish to continue doing so,  
select “REG ON” in the DSC mode.  
If you leave the service area of the regional  
programme you are tuned into, or if you  
would like to take advantage of full RDS  
service, switch to “REG OFF” in the DSC  
mode.  
In order to switch this function on or off,  
press the AF·TA button until a beep is  
emitted.

Traffic programme station reception with RDS-EON  
The abbreviation “EON” stands for En-  
hanced Other Networks, which means that  
information is exchanged within a radio net-  
work.  
Many FM radio stations provide their serv-  
ice area with traffic messages at regular in-  
tervals.  
Along with their programmes, all traffic pro-  
gramme stations transmit a special carrier  
signal, which is decoded by your car radio.  
If this signal is identified, “TP” will appear in  
the display (Traffic Programme).  
In addition to these, there are also stations  
which do not actually transmit traffic infor-  
mation themselves, but by using RDS-EON  
it is possible for them to forward the traffic  
messages broadcast by another traffic  
programme station in the same radio net-  
work.  
If you want to have the priority for traffic  
announcements activated while listening to  
one of these stations (e.g. NDR4), “TA” must  
appear on the display panel.  
If a traffic announcement is broadcast, the  
radio will automatically switch to the linked  
traffic programme station (in this case,  
NDR2) for the duration of the message and  
return to the original programme (NDR4)  
afterwards.
