CONNECT Nav+
178
When the TA function is on the dis-
play shows “TA”.
The listening conditions and infor-
mation shown on the display may be
the following:
– TA and TP: you are tuned to a sta-
tion that broadcasts traffic information
and the traffic information function is on
– TP: you are tuned to a station that
broadcasts traffic information but the
traffic information function is off
– TA: the traffic information function
is on but you are tuned to a station
that does not broadcast traffic infor-
mation
– TA and TP not shown on the display:
you are tuned to a station that does not
broadcast traffic information and the
traffic information function is off.
With the TA function on it is possible:
1) to seek only RDS stations that
broadcast in the FM band, enabled to
broadcast traffic information;
2) to receive traffic information al-
so if the CD player is working;3) to receive traffic information at a
preset minimum level also with the ra-
dio volume down completely or in
stand-by.
The operations to be carried out for
each of the three above conditions are
listed below.
1) To receive stations enabled to
broadcast traffic information:
– choose band FM1, FM2 or FM3;
– turn on the TA function so that the
display shows “TA”;
– start seeking the frequencies.
2) If you wish to receive traffic in-
formation while listening to a CD, be-
fore inserting the CD, tune to a sta-
tion enabled to broadcast traffic in-
formation (TP) and turn the TA func-
tion on. If, while playing the CD, this
station broadcasts traffic information,
CD playing will be temporarily
stopped and resumed automatically at
the end of the message.
If the CD player is already working
and at the same time you wish to re-
ceive traffic information, turning on
the TA function, the radio tunes to thelast station heard in the FM band and
the traffic announcements are trans-
mitted. If the station selected does not
broadcast traffic information, an en-
abled station is sought automatically.
If you wish to interrupt a traffic an-
nouncement, turn off the TA function
while the announcement itself is being
broadcast.
3) To receive traffic information
though not listening to the radio:
– turn on the TA function, so that
the display shows the abbreviation
“TA”;
– tune to a station enabled to broad-
cast traffic information so that “TP”
is shown on the display;
– set the system in stand-by by press-
ing the “MAIN” key 17-fig. 1.
This way, if that station broadcasts
traffic information, this will be heard
at a minimum predefined volume.
IMPORTANTIn certain countries,
radio stations exist which though the
TP function is active (the display shows
“TP”), do not broadcast traffic infor-
mation.

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.

To turn the Autostore function on
(automatic station storage) press the
knob 22-fig. 1after selecting it.
When this function is on, the radio
automatically stores the stations with
the strongest signal, in decreasing or-
der of intensity of the signal in the fre-
quency band tuned:
– 6 stations in the FM1, FM2 or FM3
band or
– 6 stations in the MW band or
– 6 stations in the LW band.
If the TA function is on (traffic infor-
mation), only stations that broadcast
traffic information will be stored. This
function can be turned on also when
playing a CD.
During automatic storage the display
shows the wording “Autostore”. To
interrupt the automatic storage
process, turn off the “Autostore”
function pressing the “ESC” key 23-
fig. 1; the radio will tune the station
heard before the function was acti-
vated. On the preset keys 1 ÷ 6-fig. 1the
stations that have a strong signal in
that moment will be stored, in the pre-
set band. After storage the radio tunes
automatically to the first station of the
FM1 band, corresponding to the fre-
quency stored on preset key 1-fig. 1.
Every station is stored only once, ex-
cept in the case of regional pro-
grammes which in certain cases might
be stored twice.
The behaviour of the set during Au-
tostore is as follows:
– at the beginning of the Autostore
function all the other functions are dis-
abled
– any change in volume is not shown
on the display– pressing one of the preset keys 1÷
6-fig. 1the automatic storage process
is interrupted and the station stored
with that key is tuned
– selecting and activating a radio
function (e.g. PTY) the automatic stor-
age process is interrupted, the last sta-
tion heard before tuning on Autostore
is tuned and the function associated
with the key pressed is run
– selecting and activating one or both
TA/AF functions during the automat-
ic storage process, automatic storage
will be interrupted, the TA (traffic in-
formation) and AF (alternative fre-
quencies) functions will be turned
on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started
– changing the audio source (Radio,
CD) during the automatic storage
process, the Autostore function is not
interrupted.
IMPORTANTIt may occur that
the Autostore function is unable to
find 6 stations with a strong signal; in
this case only the stations found are
stored. “AUTOSTORE” FUNCTION (AUTOMATIC STATION STORAGE)
