General notes Aerial system for vehicles for USA and Canada → Chapter Aerial systems ► 05.05 t  Vehicles without radio are not equipped with aerials. t  Vehicles with radio “R100” only have a rear window aerial. t  Vehicles with radio “RCD 300” or “RCD 500” have a rear window aerial with two blocking circuits. The diversity function is carried out directly in the radio unit. t  If the vehicle is equipped with a radio unit and telephone equipment or auxiliary heater remote control have also been ordered, the rear window aerial with 2 blocking circuits and diversity plus a roof aerial are fitted. t  Vehicles with radio navigation system “RNS 300” are fitted with the rear window aerial without diversity and with a roof aerial. t  Regardless of their other equipment, vehicles with radio navigation system “RNS 2” are always fitted with the rear window aerial with 2 blocking circuits and diversity and with a roof aerial. The aerial system with diversity function optimises and improves reception in the vehicle. The radio unit checks the aerial input signals and puts out the result via an additional aerial connection. The information from the test result then reaches the aerial selection control unit. If the aerial signal being received is too weak, this then switches to a different aerial (diversity). The customer will not be able to perceive this procedure audibly. Aerial systems 06.05 ► Various aerial systems are available in vehicles 06.05 ►. The version depends on the vehicle's equipment. Possible variants are as follows: t  Vehicles without radio have no rear window aerial, and a “dummy” aerial without any connections is mounted on the roof. t  Vehicles with radio “R100” only have a roof aerial with aerial rod. t  Vehicles with radio “RCD 300” or “RCD 500” have a rear window aerial with an aerial amplifier on the right and a roof aerial with aerial rod. One diversity function circuit runs via the rear window aerial, the second via the roof aerial. t  If the vehicle is equipped with a radio unit and telephone equipment or auxiliary heater remote control have also been ordered, the rear window aerial with 2 blocking circuits and diversity plus a roof aerial are fitted. t  Vehicles with radio navigation system “RNS 300” are fitted with a rear window aerial with an aerial amplifier on the right and with a roof aerial. t  Regardless of their other equipment, vehicles with radio navigation system “RNS 2” are always fitted with the rear window aerial with 2 blocking circuits and diversity and with a roof aerial.   Note t  When faced with complaints, it is absolutely necessary to understand the functions and operation of the radio system. t  Additional information → Operating instructions t  When the battery is reconnected, check operation of electrical equipment (radio, clock, convenience electronics and so on) according to the workshop manual or the Operating Manual.
