Using the RDS
(radio data system)
function on FM
The majority of FM radio stations
use the RDS system. The radio in
your vehicle has this system,.
The RDS system enables these
stations to transmit non-audible
data in addition to the broadcas
ting of their programmes. The data
provides access to various functions
described in this chapter, such as:
display of the station name, inter-
mittent traffic information flashes or
automatic scanning of stations. This
enables you to continue listening to
your chosen radio station, regard-
less of the different frequencies it
uses in the regions through which
you are travelling
.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best pos-
sible reception by continuously
looking for any other frequencies
on which the selected radio sta-
tion is broadcast, automatically
choosing the frequency offering
the best reception (providing the
station broadcasts on more than
one transmitter or frequency). Activation/deactivation of the
RDS functions
The RDS functions can be accessed
via the following two menus : -
Main menu (press button O).
- Audio menu (press button L).
To activate/deactivate the RDS
functions on multifunction
screen C :
1. Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO icon using
buttons J or M.
3. Confirm your choice with a
press on button L.
4. Select the sub-menu for the
FM waveband, via buttons J
or M. Confirm your choice with
a press on button L.
5. Select scanning for RDS sta-
tions, via buttons J or M.
6. Validate your choice with a
press on button L.
7. Using control L, select/dese-
lect to activate/deactivate the
function.
8. Validate your choice by select-
ing “ OK” on the display. To activate/deactivate the
RDS functions on
multifunction screen A :
1.
Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO-CD icon via
buttons J or M.
3. Select scanning for RDS sta-
tions, via buttons J or M. The
system tells you the status (ac-
tive or inactive) of the function.
4. Modify this status via buttons
K or N.
5. Then please wait for the dis-
play to disappear.
Note :
If the RDS function is active :
The “ RDS” on the display will light
up provided the station being re-
ceived uses the RDS system with
scanning of frequencies.
The “ RDS” on the display is barred
if the station received uses the
RDS system without frequency
search.
If your RDS function is deactiva-
ted, the “ RDS” on the display will
be absent in all cases.
The display will indicate the “ NAME ” for the stations that use
the RDS system and the frequency
for stations that do not use it.

Regional search mode
Some stations, when they are or-
ganised in networks, broadcast
regional programmes at certain
times of day, and national pro-
grammes at other times.
It is possible to search :
- Either for a regional station only.
-
Or across the whole network in
order to find a different programme.
To activate/deactivate this func-
tion, proceed as for Scanning of
RDS stations.
Note :
When this mode is activated, the
system will remain tuned to one
specific regional station.
TA traffic information
(traffic announcements)
Some stations allow broadcasting,
only in FM, of these messages
thanks to the “ TA” function.
You can activate the “ TA” func-
tion by pressing on button I. This
allows you, even though you are
listening to another audio source
or to a radio programme not itself
providing traffic messages, to re-
ceive traffic information flashes
from an FM station which broad-
casts them. While the messages are being
broadcast the original source is
paused and when the messages
have ended your radio will auto-
matically revert to the music pro-
gramme you were listening to.
Notes :
- You have to be in FM wave
band.
- The station being listened to should
indicate via the RDS system that it
broadcasts traffic information
.
- Stations organised in a network (EON) have regional transmitters
that send their own programmes:
while you are listening to one of
these stations the system will
switch automatically to a station
on the network that is broadcast-
ing traffic information.
- You can stop listening to a mes- sage by pressing button I.
Sound volume adjustment for
traffic information
The sound volume for traffic infor-
mation operates separately from
that for the rest of the system, and
can be adjusted independently.
Rotate button A while a traffic
information message is being
broadcast.
This volume adjustment is memo-
rised. Selecting a programme

you are currently listening to.
To activate/deactivate this func-
tion, proceed as for Scanning of
RDS stations.

tions, it may be necessary to make
a connection (see following page,

twinned mobile telephone ).
Once the twinning is finished, you
will be able to connect your tele-
phone via the “ Main menu”.
Connecting a twinned telephone
Each time you enter the vehicle,
after switching on the audio sys-
tem, your telephone is detected automatically. If more than one
telephone is present, the last
telephone to have been connect-
ed is the first to be recognised.
Note :
Disconnections may occur. You
may have to make a new connec-
tion (see following page,
Configu-
ration : Connecting a twinned
mobile telephone ).
Observations :
- In the event of a problem, it is recommended to switch your
telephone off and then on again.
- If you switch off your telephone within the field of reception of the
Bluetooth system on your vehi-
cle, the next connection will not
be automatic. To restore auto-
matic connection, you will have to
connect your telephone manually
(see following page, Configura-
tion : Connecting a twinned
mobile telephone ).

system is turned on, the latter
detects the telephone.

telephone close to your radio.

mobile telephone for use “hands
free ” and even to use its directory.

telephones, to be able then to con-
nect whichever one you choose.
The Bluetooth functions available
and the content of the display are
dependent on the type of mobile
telephone, its settings and the type
of contract you have. For this rea-
son it is advisable to make enqui-
ries with your telephone provider.
Prior to any operation :
Your display should be lit up (key
in position M).
Your telephone’s Bluetooth sys-
tem must be activated.
Twinning a telephone
Twinning a telephone consists of
having it recognised by the Bluetooth
system on your vehicle. This then
permits an instantaneous connec-
tion
.
Twinning can only be performed
with ignition switched on, dis-
play illuminated, engine stopped .
No other telephone should be
connected.
The twinning must be performed
with the telephone and its Bluetooth
system activated.

Refer to the user instructions to fa-
miliarise yourself with the features
