Your car radio is equipped with an FM and
AM receiver. There are 6 pre-sets availa-
ble in each case in the FM bands FM1 and
FM2 and the same in the AM bands AM1
and AM2. The selected range is shown on
the display at position .
When browsing in the AM band, the LW
and MW bands are successively searched
for stations.

and FM bands. In both bands, the radio
will set itself to the last station listened
to in the respective band.

• A short press on the AM/FMbutton
enables you to switch between the FM1
(pre-sets 1 to 6) and FM2 ranges (pre-
sets 7 to 12). In both ranges, the radio
will set itself to the last station listened to
in the respective range.
Change-over AM1 - AM2
(Message displayed = AM):
• A short press on the AM/FMbutton
enables you to switch between the AM1

• A short press on the TPbutton swit-
ches you to the TP(Traffic Programme)
band and sets the radio ready to recei-
ve traffic announcements, possibly with
higher speaker volume on or off.. The

cate that the system is ready to receive.
These messages also break in when the
CD is playing. After playing the traffic
announcement, the radio returns to the
previous mode. When a traffic announce-
ment breaks in, this is indicated by “INFO
PRGNAME” on the display. If the pro-
gramme set can no longer receive traffic
announcements, this is indicated by “NO

next programme with traffic announce-
ments, which it can receive clearly. The
message "TP SEEK” is displayed.

announcements, press the TP button
to switch off the TPfunction.

Radio mode
RDS functions
RDS (Radio Data System) shows the
names of the programmes being received
.
While you are driving, RDS automatically
takes over the function of searching for
alternative frequencies for the set pro-
gramme and making the necessary
adjustments to ensure the best possible
reception within a transmission area, even
under unfavourable conditions.
Storing RDS programmes
When storing RDS programmes, the
appropriate station button should only be
pressed when the programme name is
shown on the display. This ensures to a
large extent that all the RDS data are
evaluated and can be stored.
Also ensure, when storing, that no "scrol-
ling text" is being shown on the display,
otherwise this is stored instead of the
programme name.
When a stored RDS programme is called
up, the appropriate programme name
appears on the display. If the stored frequency cannot be recei-
ved clearly, the radio automatically
selects an alternative frequency for the
same program (Best Station function).
General advice
When the conditions are unfavourable
conditions, e.g. on mountainous stret-
ches, the radio checks the alternative fre-
quencies very often. This can result in
momentary interruptions to the sound.
How RDS works
With RDS, in addition to the normal radio
signal an inaudible digital data stream is
also transmitted. This data stream con-
tains, among other things, the following
data:
Programme identification (PI code):
The radio recognizes the programme
being received from the PI code.
Programme service name (PS code):
The PS code provides the name to be
shown on the display . Via the PS
code, some programmes also provide
additional information to be shown on the
display.Alternative frequencies (AF list):
A programme is usually broadcast by
several transmitters on different frequen-
cies. The AF list contains the relevant fre-
quencies to which the receiver can be set
in order to receive the programme.
T
raffic programme identification (Traffic
Programme = TP; message on the
display):
The identification for a programme with
traffic information.
T
raffic announcement identification (TA=
Traffic Announcement):
The radio recognizes a traffic message
from the TA code. If necessary, the radio’s
volume is now raised and CD mode is
interrupted.
EON (Enhanced information Concerning
Other networks)
Programmes that use EON, pick up traffic
messages from other programmes. During
the message, the name of the other pro-
gramme is displayed.
