If the TA function is on (traffic information), the tuner
only searches stations which broadcast traffic bulletins.
If the PTY function is on, the tuner only searches PTY
stations. When searching, the display alternatively
shows the type of programme and the word
“SEARCH”.
If the station on which the tuner stops is one of the
stations stored with the preset buttons, the display will
show the presetting number for a few seconds.
Manual tuning
This allows manual station searching in the chosen
band.
Proceed as follows:
❒Select the band with button 7 (BN-AS): FM1, FM2,
FMT, MW or LW;
❒Press briefly and repeatedly button 9 (
˜) or 12
(
÷) to start searching in the chosen band.
Pressing one of the buttons 9 (
˜) or 12 (÷)
longer obtains fast forward searching, which is
stopped when the button is released.To turn on manual tuning search it is necessary to turn
off the PTY and AF (alternative frequencies), if on.
If the station tuned is a station stored with the preset
buttons, the display will show the presetting number
for a few seconds.
Scan function (station scanning)
Keeping button 6 (SRC-SC) pressed until the “beep”,
starts scanning the stations in the frequency band
selected (FM, MW, LW). Each station found will be
heard for a few seconds and the name and frequency
will flash on the display. While searching the display
will show “FM SCAN”, “AM SCAN” or “PTY SCAN”
for a few seconds.
If the TA function is on (traffic information), the system
will search only the stations that broadcast traffic
bulletins. If the PTY function is on, the system will only
search PTY stations.

Manual station storage
The station being heard can be stored in the range
selected with buttons (“18”, “ 17”, “16”, “15”, “14”,
“13”) numbered from 1 to 6.
Keep one of these buttons (from 1 to 6) pressed until
receiving the confirmation “beep”. After storage, the
display shows the number of the button with which
the station has been stored.
AutoSTore function
(automatic station storage)
To switch on the Autostore function, keep button 7
(BN-AS) pressed until receiving the confirmation
“beep”. With this function the radio automatically
stores the six stations with the strongest signal in
decreasing order of intensity of the FMT frequency
band.
IMPORTANT Activating the AutoSTore function
cancels the stations stored previously in the FMT band.
If the TA function is on (traffic information), only the
stations that send traffic information will be stored.
This function may also be turned on when listening to
a tape or CD Changer (if installed).During automatic storage the display shows “A-
STORE”.
To interrupt AutoSTore press button 7 (BN-AS) again:
the radio will automatically tune to the station heard
before activation of the AutoSTore function.
At the end of the AutoSTore function the radio
automatically tunes on the first preset station in the
FMT band, stored on preset button 1 (18).
On buttons (“18”, “17”, “16”, “15”, “14”, “13”)
numbered from 1 to 6, the stations are automatically
stored that give a strong signal in that moment in the
present band.
001-050 ING 21-06-2007 15:48 Pagina 30
The behaviour of the set during AutoSTore is as
follows:
❒at the beginning of the AutoSTore function all the
other functions are disabled;
❒pressing one of the radio function buttons, e.g.: 2
(PTY), 8 (
N), 9 (˜), 10 (O), 12 (÷), (13), (14),
(15), (16), (17), (18) the automatic storage process
is interrupted, the last station heard before
AutoSTore was turned on is tuned and the function
associated with the button pressed is run;
❒pressing button 1 (AF-TA) during AutoSTore will
interrupt it, the TA function (traffic information) will
be turned on/off and a new automatic storage
process will be started;
❒changing the listening source (Radio, Tape, CD
Changer) during automatic storage will not
interrupt the AutoSTore function.
❒activating the AutoSTore function in MW or LW
bands will automatically select the FMT band where
the function is then run.
IMPORTANT Sometimes the AutoSTore function is
unable to find 6 stations with a strong signal. In this
case, the free preset buttons will be shown on the
display, for about 2 seconds, by 4 dashes and the last
station heard will be returned.Listening to stored stations
Proceed as follows:
❒select the required frequency band (FM, MW, LW);
❒briefly press one of the six station storage buttons.
The display will show the number that corresponds to
the button.
In bands FM1, FM2 and FMT, if reception is poor and
the AF alternative frequency search function is active,
the station with the strongest signal that is
broadcasting the same programme will be sought
automatically.
AF function
(alternative frequency search)
Within the RDS system the radio can work in two
different modes:
❒“AF ON”: alternative frequency search on (the
display shows “AF”);
❒“AF OFF”: alternative frequency search off.

When the signal of the RDS station tuned weakens,
the following two cases may occur:
❒with “AF ON” the RDS system activates automatic
tuning of the optimum 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
possible to continue listening to the station chosen
without having to change the frequency when
changing area. Of course, the station being listened
to must be receivable in the area the car is crossing.
❒With “AF OFF” the radio will not tune the
strongest station automatically and it will have to be
found manually using the tuner buttons.
To turn the AF function on/off, keep button 1 (AF-TA)
pressed until hearing the beep. The name RDS (if
available) stays on the display and if the AF function
has been turned on the symbol “AF” is shown.
If the radio is working in the AM band, when button 1
(AF-TA) is pressed, it passes to the FM1 band on the
last station selected.TA function (traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMT)
are enabled to also broadcast information about traffic
conditions. In this case the display shows “TP”.
To turn the TA (traffic information) function on/off,
briefly press button (AF-TA).
The listening conditions and information given on the
display may be the following:
❒TA and TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information and the traffic information function is
on;
❒TP: if tuned to a station that sends traffic
information but the traffic information function is
off;
❒TA (*): the traffic information function is on but the
radio is tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information;
❒TA and TP not shown on the display: the radio is
tuned to a station that does not give traffic
information and the traffic information function is
off.
(*) If the TA function (traffic information) is on, but the radio sta-
tion chosen does not give traffic information, the device “beeps”
every 30 seconds.
001-050 ING 21-06-2007 15:48 Pagina 32
With the TA function (traffic information) it is
possible:
1) to search only RDS stations that transmit in the FM
band, enabled to broadcast traffic information;
2) to receive traffic information even if the tapes
player or CD Changer is in use;
3) to receive traffic information at a predefined
minimum volume even with the radio volume off.
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:
❒select band FM1, FM2 or FMT;
❒briefly press button 1 (AF-TA) so that the display
shows “TA”;
❒press tuner buttons “
˜” (9) or “÷”(12).
To store stations with TA on, carry out the storage
operations (see “Manual station storage”).2) If wishing to receive traffic information when
listening to a cassette or CD, before inserting the
cassette or starting the CD Changer, in Telephone
mode or with Mute function on, tune to a station
enabled to broadcast traffic information (TP) and
activate the TA function. If while listening to the
cassette or Compact Disc, this station broadcasts
traffic information, the tape or CD will be suspended
temporarily and resumed again automatically after the
end of the message. At the start of receiving traffic
information the display will briefly show the wording
“INFO TRA”, while the display continues giving the
last information (frequency, etc.).
If the tape player is already working and at the same
time you want to receive traffic information, briefly
pressing button 1 (AF-TA) the radio tunes to the last
station heard in the FM band, the TA function is
activated and the traffic messages are transmitted. If
the station selected does not send traffic information,
the search for an enabled station starts automatically.
If wishing to interrupt the traffic information message,
briefly press button 1 (AF-TA) during transmission of
the message.

(frequency, etc…) active before the PTY function.Controlling the station’s type
of PTY programme
To know the type of PTY programme of the station
heard, keep button 2 (PTY) pressed until a “beep” is
heard. After the “beep” the display will show the type
of programme (see previous paragraph) offered by the
station tuned. If the station has no PTY code, the
display will show the wording “NO-PTY”. After a few
seconds the display will again show the RDS name or
frequency of the station tuned.
EON function
(Enhanced Other Network)
Certain countries have circuits which group together
several stations enabled to broadcast traffic
information. In this case the programme of the station
being heard will be interrupted temporarily to receive
traffic information (only with TA function on), ever
time these bulletins are given by one of the stations of
the same circuits.

REG function
(regional broadcast reception)
Certain national broadcasters, at determinate times of
the day, transmit regional programmes which differ
from region to region. This function makes it possible
to tune in only on local stations (regional). However if
a regional programme is heard and you wish to stay
tuned to it, the function must be activated.
To turn the function on/off, use button 9 (
˜) or 12
(
÷).
The display will show the current status of the
function:
❒“REG ON”: function on;
❒“REG OFF”: function off.
If the function is off and a regional programme is tuned
that works in a determinate area and the car enters a
different area, the regional station of the new area is
received.
IMPORTANT When the function is off (“REG-OFF”)
and the AF function is on (alternative frequencies) the
radio automatically tunes to the frequency of the
station selected with the strongest signal.CDC function
(CD Changer data display)
(if installed)
This function can be chosen only if a CD Changer is
connected.
In this case the display will show “CDC DISP”.
To change the function use buttons 9 (

The display shows the setting among the two possible:
❒“TIME” (time elapsed from start of track);
❒“CD NR” (CD number).
SENS DX/LO function (tuner sensitivity
adjustment)
With this function it is possible to change the
sensitivity of automatic station searching. When low
sensitivity “SENS LO” is set only stations with
excellent reception are sought; when high sensitivity
“SENS-DX” is set all stations are sought. Therefore, if
the car is in an area with a considerable number of
stations and you want to choose only those with a
strong signal, set to low sensitivity “SENS LO”.
