AUDIO, MEDIA AND INTERNET
The IBOC system is referred to as a "hybrid"
since it is both analog and digital. During
hybrid operation, receivers still continue to
receive the analog (non-digital) signal. HD
Radio receivers incorporate both modes of
reception, where the receiver will automati-
cally switch to the analog signal if the digital
signal cannot be decoded or is lost by the
receiver.
so the next time the radio is tuned to the same
station, the logo will be displayed immedi-
ately. Album art is synched with the artist that
you are currently listening to.
HD Radio™
HD Radio is a brand name registered by the
DTS, Inc.3. They are the developer of a broad-
casting technology called IBOC or In Band On
Channel, which refers to the method of trans-
mitting a digital radio broadcast signal cen-
tered on the same frequency as the AM or FM
station's present frequency.
Ball game mode
This feature means that a main FM station
(HD1) will broadcast live events, where the
content of the programming is more important
than sound quality, in analog mode only to
help prevent the delay between analog and
digital broadcasting. The HD Radio symbol
will be white during live broadcasts and "Live"
will be displayed next to the symbol.
Introduction
When you have tuned to an HD Radio station,
the
symbol will appear in the infotain-
ment system display. The symbol will be dis-
played in different colors:
Grayed-out symbol: no HD Radio broad-
cast reception

•
Benefits of digital broadcasting
Better sound (FM sounds near CD quality
and AM as analog FM).
•
White symbol: the radio is actively receiv-
ing an HD broadcast
Some FM frequencies offer a greater
number of listening choices through multi-
casting (consisting of a frequency's main
channel and any sub-channels that may
also be available on that particular fre-
quency.)
•
Orange symbol: the radio is receiving an
HD broadcast with digital sound
More information about HD Radio and IBOC
can be found on DTS, Inc.'s website,
Display when the radio is receiving an HD Radio
broadcast (generic illustration)
When receiving a digital signal there is no
multipath disturbance or hisses/pops/
crackling due to outside influences.
•
Artist Experience™
A radio station's logo and album art can be
displayed. If a station opts to provide this
information, it is broadcast once every 12
minutes, which means that there may be a
delay before the logo/album art appear on the
screen. The radio can store 100 station logos
HD Radio volume may fade in and out at
times due to coverage limitations.

How HD Radio ™ Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional
radio and broadcasts of this type are available
in many areas of the United States. However,
there are a few key differences:
Activating and deactivating the HD

Opening contextual setting in the center
display (p. 134)
HD Radio is deactivated when the car leaves
the factory.
When listening to an HD Radio station and
driving through areas with weak HD signals
(fringe areas), you may experience that the
radio repeatedly switches between analog/
digital and digital/analog reception. If this hap-
pens, it may be desirable to switch HD off.
Instead of transmitting one analogue sig-
nal, stations send out a bundled signal –
both analog and digital.
•
An HD Radio receiver can receive both
digital and analog broadcasts. Depending
on the terrain and location of the vehicle
(which will influence the signal strength),
the receiver will determine which signal to
receive.
•
Carry out the following to activate or deacti-
vate HD Radio:
1. Drag down the top view and tap on
Settings.
2.
3.
Press Media and AM/FM Radio.

If HD radio is deactivated, the radio will be
unable to receive digital broadcasts but it will
continue to function as a conventional radio
(analog AM/FM receiver). Please note that
when HD is switched off, it will not be possi-
ble to tune in to sub-channels.
