Important Information
Road safety
Being the driver of a motor vehicle you should dedicate your full attention to the traffic around you. Therefore always use your car radio such that you are able to cope with the present traffic situation in any moment.
In critical driving situations you should turn your set off. Please take into account that at a speed of 50 km/h you are almost covering a distance of 14 m per second!
When adjusting the volume always make sure that all acoustic signals from the outside of your vehicle can still be perceived in order to react to warning signals just as it is required by the individual situation.
Connection
Before installing or expanding the unit please read first through the enclosed installation and connection instructions.
Telephone connection
Having connected a car phone in your vehicle, radio or CD operation can be automatically muted as soon as the phone is used.
For this the phone has to be connected to the radio as described in the connection instructions.
DSC (Direct Software Control)
The DSC function of this car radio allows you to separately adjust and memorise the:
display colour,
seek tuning sensitivity, loudness level,
volume of traffic messages and audible alarm,
BEEP On/Off (after actuation of a button), TPM update (update of CD track programming), and the
CODE LED (light emitting diode).
The individual operating steps are described in the operating instructions.
KeyCard
This car radio cannot be operated unless the personal KeyCard is inserted. The card's code number is memorised in the set.
Switch on the set by turning knob ① and insert the KeyCard (figure 4).
The car radio is now ready for operation.
If a wrong KeyCard is inserted, “----” starts flashing in the display.
After about 10 secs., "CArd" flashes in the display.
In such case do not continue to operate your set until you have read through the chapter "Theft protection".
Never try to pull out the KeyCard by force.
Push in the card first (moves it into take-out position), then take it out.
Should you have lost your personal KeyCard or if the card has been damaged, contact an authorised service centre for help. Take the radio passport with you.
These service centres are all listed in a Car Radio Centre Register (☐). Please contact the Central Service Centre of your country for more detailed information on the next specialised KeyCard service centre of your region. With KeyCards 1 and 2 you can individually programme the following functions:
Bass, treble, balance and fader adjustments, station presets, the ARI message volume and the loudness level.
Beyond that, parameters such as the last selected waveband and station, ARI priority, or the adjusted seek tuning sensitivity lo/dx remain stored.
Therefore, when inserting your KeyCard again, the set will automatically recall these basic personal adjustments.

Operating instructions
Loudness
At low volumes the human ear shows reduced sensitivity to low frequencies, while medium and high frequencies can be perceived better. The loudness function compensates this phenomenon by boosting the bass frequencies.
The individual sound impression is closely related to the type of equipment used (amplifiers), the type of speakers and their mounting positions, and the actual interior sound conditions of the respective vehicle. Therefore, the loudness function has been designed such that its intensity can be adjusted. Ex works the loudness function has been set so that an optimal sound impression can be achieved over a wide range.
However, if you want to modify the adjustment, proceed as follows:
- Increase the volume.
- Press button DSC ⑦.
- Press rocker switch ② until display ⑨ a shows "LD" and a number between 1 and 6.
- Use rocker switch ② to adjust the loudness intensity. "1" stands for the lowest, "6" for the highest intensity.
- After having finished the adjustment press DSC ⑦.
This function can be adjusted separately for KeyCards 1 and 2.
