At the end of the storage procedure,
the stations stored in the FMC wave-
band will be played for a short while,
then the radio will tune automatically
to the first stored station.
IMPORTANT Automatic station
storage through the TMC-STORE
function could require a long time
since scanning of TMC stations that
can be received in the frequency range
is performed.RDS FUNCTION
(RADIO DATA SYSTEM)
The Radio Data System is a service
provided by radio stations to facilitate
FM waveband tuning.
The RDS allows - for enabled sta-
tions - automatic tuning to the best
frequency of the selected station (al-
ternative frequency function). This
means that you can listen to the sta-
tion without retuning when you
change area. Obviously, the station
must be received in the area that you
are travelling in.Furthermore, the RDS displays the
station name (Program Service func-
tion, up to eight characters) and the
traffic announcement status: the
sound/navigation system will seek the
best frequency of the required station.

RDS-REG FUNCTION
At certain times of the day, some sta-
tions broadcast different regional pro-
grammes. When the function is off and
you are tuned to a regional station in
a certain area, you will receive a new
regional programme when entering a
new area.
Switching on and off
Tune to FM and proceed as follows
to switch the RDS-REG function on:
1) in Radio mode, press the MEN
button (10). The Radio menu fig. 19
will appear on the display
2) press the button (13) next to REG.
The message ON or OFF will appear.
The default setting is OFF (i.e. the func-
tion is not active). When the function
is on, the system will change the fre-
quency only when the current fre-
quency can no longer be received. Switching on and off
Proceed as follows to use the RDS:
1) in Radio mode, press the MEN
button (10). The Radio menu fig. 18
will appear on the display
2) repeatedly press the button (14)
next to the RDS message to select the
required operations (VAR, FIX or
OFF) (the default setting is VAR) de-
scribed below:
FIX Switches the Radio RDS func-
tion on. Since some stations
use RDS to broadcast adver-
tisements in addition to the
station name, you can decide
to display only the station
name. VAR Basic setting with which the
Radio RDS function is fully ac-
tive. Advertising will also be
shown on the display.
OFFSwitches the RDS function off.
Stations are tuned to by indi-
cating the frequency on the
display (example: 87.5). Under
this condition also the TA
function is off.

PTY FUNCTION
(PROGRAM TYPE)
PTY is an RDS function. The stations
use PTY to broadcast the contents of
their programmes (POP, ROCK, etc.)
to help you make your choice.
The programme contents will appear
for a few seconds when the PTY func-
tion is on and a new station is tuned
to. The contents will not be displayed
if the station does not use the PTY
function.Switching on and off
Proceed as follows to switch the PTY
function on and off:
1) in Radio mode, press the MEN
button (10). The Radio menu will ap-
pear on the display fig. 19
2) press button (14) next to PTY.
The message ON or OFF will appear.
The default setting is ON.
The PTY message fig. 20will appear
when tuning to a radio station when
the function is on.Alarm messages
When the PTY function is on, the
system can receive alarm messages
(example: weather conditions). In this
case, the warning message will appear
on the display and the announcement
will be made at the volume set for traf-
fic announcements.
To stop the alarm message, press ei-
ther MEN (10) or ESC (9).

TA FUNCTION
(TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCEMENT)
This function can be switched on on-
ly in Radio mode in the FM waveband.
When listening to the CD source,
the CD changer (where fitted) or
when the navigation system is on and
the TA button (4) is pressed, the ra-
dio will switch to the FM waveband in
background and activate the TA func-
tion. This will not change the sound
source and the message “TA” will ap-
pear on the display.
When the TA function is on, you can
listen to traffic announcements even
when the CD player or CD changer
(where fitted) is on or in navigation
mode. The system will automatically
switch to the station broadcasting the
traffic announcement. At the end of
the announcement, the sound naviga-
tion system will automatically return
to the previous source.
Press the TA button (4) to switch
the TA function off.IMPORTANT In Radio mode, with
the TA function on, a beep will be
heard if you leave the area where the
station broadcasting traffic announce-
ments can be received. In this case, an
automatic TP (Traffic Program) search
will be started.
Interrupting traffic
announcements
When the TA function is on, press
either TA (4) or MEN (10) or change
station to interrupt the traffic an-
nouncement.TMC FUNCTION
(TRAFFIC MESSAGE
CHANNEL)
The TMC function is used to receive
traffic information which is then
analysed by the sound/navigation sys-
tem in order to “guide” the driver to
the required preset destination.
Since only some stations are enabled
to provide the TMC function, it is pos-
sible that traffic information in certain
areas cannot be received.
When the “Dynamic travel guide”
function is on (see “Dynamic travel
guide” in chapter “Navigation”), the
sound/navigation system will tune au-
tomatically to a TMC station.

pages):
through this function it is therefore
possible to store the six strongest sta-
tions broadcasting in the area that you
are travelling in.

clude stations broadcasting traffic an-
nouncements in the search (the TP
