If the radio is working in the AM band,
choosing the FM band tunes to the last
station heard. If the chosen station does
not broadcast traffic information (“TP”
not shown on the display), an automatic
search is started for an enabled station.
If the volume is changed during a traf-
fic bulletin the value is not shown on
the display and the new value is kept
only for the bulletin in progress.
IMPORTANTIf the TA function is
on and the station tuned is not enabled
to provide traffic information or is no
longer able to broadcast this informa-
tion (the display does not show “TP”),
after about 1 minute in which the ra-
dio is in these conditions:
– if a CD is being played another sta-
tion enabled to broadcast traffic in-
formation is sought automatically
– if the radio is in use a warning s
sounding to alert that it is not possi-
ble to receive traffic information; to in-
terrupt it, it is necessary to tune to a
broadcaster enabled to give traffic in-
formation or switch off the TA func-
tion. “AF” FUNCTION
(SEEKING ALTERNATIVE
FREQUENCIES)
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
– AF ON: alternative frequency
search on;
– AF OFF: alternative frequency
search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two cas-
es may occur:
– With AF ON the RDS system ac-
tivates automatic tuning of the opti-
mum frequency of the station chosen,
with the stations enabled, therefore
the radio is automatically tuned to the
station with the strongest signal that
is broadcasting the same programme.
During the journey it will thus be pos-
sible to continue listening to the sta-
tion chosen without having to change
the frequency when changing area. Of
course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the ve-
hicle is crossing.– With AF OFF the radio will not
tune the strongest station automati-
cally and it will have to be found man-
ually using the tuner buttons.
to turn the AF function on/off, re-
peatedly press the knob 22-fig. 1af-
ter selecting the TA/AF function.
The cyclic activation of the TA/AF
functions, which is obtained by brief
presses on the knob 22-
fig. 1, is the following: AF – TA – TA
and AF – both functions off – AF
…etc.
When the AF function is on the dis-
play shows “AF”.
The RDS channel name (if available)
is still shown on the display.
If the radio is working in the AM
band, when the “SRC” key 15-fig. 1
is pressed, it moves the FM band on
the last station chosen.
