3 - setting maximum volume upon start-up
«0NV0L 20» appears for example, where 20 is the setting in a range that extends up to 31
- turn volume knob clockwise: VOL +
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: VOL -
Volume is limited only when volume is higher than the set value when the radio is turned off.
4 - setting minimum volume for traffic information
«TA VOL 16» appears for example (limit values from 4 to 31)
- turn volume knob clockwise = VOL +
- turn volume knob anticlockwise = VOL -
During adjustment, the volume is as selected for traffic news.
5 - automatic deactivation by means of car ignition switch

practically illegible.
In «LRN ON» mode, the radio turns to another station as soon as the incoming signal quality falls.
When in an area where the reception of RDS programmes with traffic news is uncertain, the station search
may be blocked in the radio function.
- turn volume knob clockwise: «LRN ON» appears: automatic search of traffic news broadcasts is acti­
vated automatically,
- turn volume knob anticlockwise: «LRN OFF»: automatic search of traffic news broadcasts is not acti­
vated.
