2007 FIAT PANDA manual radio set

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.

IMPORTANT If the TA function is on and the station
tuned is not able to provide traffic information or it is
no longer able to provide this information (the display
will not show “TP”), so after about 1 minute in which
the radio is in these conditions:
❒if listening to a tape another station is sought that is
enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒if when listening to the radio a “beep” is given to
alert that it is not possible to receive traffic
information, to interrupt it, it is necessary to tune
to a station that can provide traffic information or
switch off the TA function.
The TA function is interrupted in the following cases:
❒in radio mode: press a preset button during a traffic
bulletin;
❒pressing button 6 (SRC-SC) during a traffic bulletin;
❒by automatic/manual tuning or AutoSTore;
❒turning the Mute function on.Emergency alarm reception
In the RDS mode the radio is set to receive
emergency announcements in the case of exceptional
circumstances or events that may cause general danger
(earthquakes, floods, etc.), if they are broadcast by the
station tuned.
This function is activated automatically and cannot be
deactivated.
Program Type function (PTY)
(selecting a type of programme)
To turn on the PTY function, which makes it possible
to give top priority to PTY programmes, when
present, which may involve emergency messages or
various topics (e.g.: music, news bulletins), briefly press
button 2 (PTY) until the display shows “PTY” and the
subject of the last station heard (e.g.: “NEWS”).
After about 2 seconds the station name or frequency
is shown on the display.
IMPORTANT To turn on the PTY function, the radio
must be in the FM band.

Should it be not possible to receive the PI stored on a
frequency after searching along the whole band, the
radio will tune to the stored frequency.
Pressing the respective preset button for longer than 2
seconds will store the tuned station (the sound system
will always store the frequency and the PI code).
Storing is confirmed by a beep.

The radio automatically keeps in storage the last
station heard for each reception band, which is then
tuned when the radio is turned on or the reception
band is changed.
Automatic tuning

automatically searching the tuning for the next station
that it is possible to receive in the direction chosen.
If button 6 (

searching takes place: upon having tuned in to the first
well receivable station, the tuner stops for about 1
second (in Mute) before quick searching continues.
When the button is released, the tuner stops on the
next receivable station.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 “SEEK”.
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.

This allows manual station searching in the chosen
band.
Proceed as follows:
❒Select the band with button 12 (BAND-
AUTOSTORE): FM1, FM2, FMT, MW or LW;
❒Press briefly and repeatedly button 5 (
÷) or
(
˜) to start searching in the chosen band.
Pressing one of the buttons 5 (
÷) or (˜)
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.
