Traffic safety  
As the driver of a motor vehicle, it is your  
responsibility to pay attention to the traffic  
situation at all times. Never use your car  
radio in a way that could distract you.

Remote control  
With the infrared remote control RC 05 you  
can control all of the important functions of  
your car hi-fi system from the steering wheel.  
Telephone mute  
If you have a mobile telephone installed in  
your vehicle, radio, tape or changer play-  
back can be muted automatically when  
using the phone (telephone mute).  
“PHONE” will then appear in the display.  
When TA is active, traffic messages will al-  
ways have priority. The announcement will  
be aborted by pressing the TIM button.  
Should the traffic situation become particu-  
larly demanding, we advise you not to use  
the radio.  
Always make sure that you are still able to  
hear any warning signals coming from out-  
side of the vehicle, such as police or fire  
engine sirens, so that you can react ac-  
cordingly.  
Therefore, you should always select a  
moderate volume for playing your car radio  
while you are driving.

Traffic Memo (TIM)  
This set is equipped with a digital speech  
memory, making it possible to automatically  
record up to four traffic messages lasting a  
maximum of four minutes.  
When the radio is switched on and “TP” dis-  
played, the system will record all incoming  
messages of the tuned in station.  
If the priority for traffic announcements is  
activated (“TA” shown on the display panel),  
the set will also record the messages broad-  
cast by the traffic station of the programme  
network (see also “Receiving traffic pro-  
gramme stations with RDS-EON”).  
Depending on the length of the new messa-  
ge, the oldest messages are automatically  
deleted.
