Introduction
General information
The Infotainment system provides
you with state-of-the-art in-car
infotainment.
For the AM, FM and DAB (not
CD 300) wavebands the radio is
equipped with twelve automatically
assignable channel presets.
Furthermore, 36 channels can be
allocated manually (waveband-
independent).
The integrated audio player will
entertain you with audio CDs and
MP3/WMA CDs, as well as with MP3/
WMA DVDs (only DVD 800).
The integrated changer unit (only
CDC 400) of the CD player can take
up to six CDs.
Furthermore, you can connect
external data storage devices, e. g.
iPod, MP3 player or USB stick (not
CD 300), or a portable CD player to
the Infotainment system as further
audio sources.
The digital sound processor provides
you with several preset equalizer
modes for sound optimisation.
The navigation system (only CD 500 /
DVD 800) with dynamic route
planning will reliably guide you to your
destination, and, if desired, will
automatically avoid traffic jams or
other traffic problems.
Optionally, the Infotainment system
can be operated using controls on the
steering wheel.
In addition the Infotainment system
can be equipped with a mobile phone
portal.
The well-thought-out design of the
control elements, the clear displays
and a large multifunction knob enable
you to control the system easily and
intuitively.

Important information on
operation and traffic safety
9 Warning
The Infotainment system has to be
used so that the vehicle can be
driven safely at all times. If in doubt
stop your vehicle and operate the
Infotainment system while the
vehicle is stationary.
9 Warning
The usage of the navigation
system (only CD 500 / DVD 800)
does not release the driver from
the responsibility for a correct,
vigilant attitude in road traffic. The
related traffic regulations must
always be followed.
Only make entries (e. g.
addresses) with the vehicle
stationary.
If a navigation instruction
contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
9 Warning
In some areas one-way streets
and other roads and entrances
(e. g. pedestrian zones) that you
are not allowed to turn into are not
marked on the map. In such areas
the Infotainment system will issue
a warning that must be accepted.
Here you must pay particular
attention to one-way streets, roads
and entrances that you are not
allowed to drive into.
Radio reception
Radio reception may be disrupted by
static, noise, distortion or loss of
reception due to
changes in distance from the
transmitter,
multi-path reception due to
reflection,
shadowing.
Theft-deterrent feature
The Infotainment system is equipped
with an electronic security system for
the purpose of theft deterrent.
The Infotainment system therefore
functions only in your vehicle and is
worthless for a thief.

Digital audio broadcasting
(not available for CD 300)
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcast system.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
CD 500 / DVD 800:
CD 400 / CDC 400:
General information
With DAB, several radio
programmes (services) can be
broadcast on a single frequency
(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.
There is no fading (weakening of
the sound) that is typical of AM or
FM reception. The DAB signal is
reproduced at a constant volume.
If the DAB signal is too weak to be
picked up by the receiver, reception
Infotainment system 37
is interrupted completely. This
incident can be avoided by:
CD 500 / DVD 800: activating Auto
ensemble linking in the DAB
settings menu.
CD 400 / CDC 400: activating Auto
ensemble linking and/or Auto
linking DAB-FM in the DAB settings
menu.
Interference caused by stations
that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not occur
in connection 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.
The reception of DAB+ stations is
presently not supported by the DAB
receiver.
Configuring DAB
CD 500 / DVD 800
Press the CONFIG button.
Select Radio settings and then DAB
settings.
The following options are available in
the configuration menu:
Auto ensemble linking: with this
function activated, the device
switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (frequency, if available)
when the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver.
Dynamic audio adaption: with this
function activated, the dynamic
range of the DAB signal is reduced.
That means the level of the loud
sounds is reduced, but not the level
of the quiet sounds. Therefore the
volume of the Infotainment system
can be raised to a point where the
quiet sounds are audible, without
the loud sounds being too loud.
Frequency band: after selection of
this option it can be defined which
DAB wavebands are to be received
by the Infotainment system.

function activated, the device
switches over to a corresponding
FM station of the active DAB
service (if available) when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up
by the receiver.
Dynamic audio adaption: with this
function activated, the dynamic
range of the DAB signal is reduced.
That means the level of the loud
sounds is reduced, but not the level

Navigation
General information
The navigation system will reliably
guide you to your destination without
the need to read maps, even if you
have no local knowledge whatsoever.
The current traffic situation is taken
into account in the route calculation if
dynamic route guidance is used. For
this purpose the Infotainment system
receives traffic announcements in the
current reception area via RDS-TMC.
The navigation system cannot,
however, take into account traffic
incidents, traffic regulations changed
at short notice and hazards or
problems that arise suddenly (e. g.
road works).
Caution
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for
a correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic. The relevant traffic
regulations must always be
followed. If a navigation instruction
contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
Functioning of the navigation
system
The position and movement of the
vehicle are detected by the navigation
system using sensors. The travelled
distance is determined by the
vehicle's speedometer signal, turning
movements on bends by a gyro
sensor. The position is determined by
GPS satellites (Global Positioning
System).
By comparing the sensor signals with
the digital maps on the navigation CD/
DVD, it is possible to determine the
position with an accuracy of approx.
10 m.
50 Infotainment system
The system will also work with poor
GPS reception, however, the
accuracy of the determination of the
position will be reduced, resulting in
incorrect position messages.
After the entry of the destination
address or point of interest (nearest
petrol station, hotel, etc.) the route is
calculated from the current location to
the destination selected.
The route guidance is provided by
voice output and an arrow, as well as
with the aid of a multi-colour map
display or a combination of two
displays.
TMC traffic information system
and dynamic route guidance
The TMC traffic information system
receives all current traffic information
from TMC radio stations. If dynamic
route guidance is active, this
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During
this process, the route is planned so
that traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
If there is a traffic problem during
active route guidance, depending on
the pre-settings, a message appears
as to whether the route should be
changed.
TMC traffic information is displayed in
the route guidance display as
symbols or as detailed text on the
TMC messages menu.
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system has to receive
TMC stations in the relevant region.
Dynamic route guidance only works if
traffic information is received via the
TMC traffic information system.
The dynamic route guidance function
can be deactivated 3 61.
Map material
The complete map material is too
extensive to be loaded into the
system's memory.
For international navigation, insert the
navigation CD/DVD or load the
related data for the regions into the
system's memory. The network of
main roads in Europe is loaded
automatically. It may be necessary to
delete other map material from the
system's memory.
Once the preferred map material has
been loaded, the CD/DVD can be
removed so that the drive can be used
for playing music.
Map data add/remove 3 69.
Important information on map
CDs/DVDs
Caution
Under no circumstances place
DVDs, single-CDs with a diameter
of 8 cm or shaped CDs in the audio
player.
You must not put any stickers on
CDs. These discs can get jammed
in the CD drive and ruin the drive.
An expensive replacement of the
device will then be necessary.
Infotainment system 51
Only use map CDs/DVDs approved
by the vehicle manufacturer. The
Infotainment system will not read
map CDs/DVDs from other
manufacturers.
It is recommended to always use
the latest map CD/DVD approved
by the vehicle manufacturer for the
Infotainment system.
Avoid leaving fingerprints when you
change map CDs/DVDs.
Put map CDs/DVDs back in their
sleeves immediately after removing
them from the Infotainment system
in order to protect them from
damage and dirt.
Dirt and liquids on map CDs/DVDs
can smear the lens of the CD/DVD
player inside the device and cause
faults.
Protect map CDs/DVDs from heat
and direct sunlight.
