“RDS”
The “Radio Data System” (RDS)
function on the FM waveband permits:
- access to the displaying of information, such as the name of the station,
- tuning to the same station while travelling through different regions,
- t e m p o r a r y t u n i n g t o t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n announcements.
Most FM stations use the RDS. These
stations transmit non-audible data in
addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way
allows you access to various functions,
mainly displaying of the name of the
station, automatic station following or
t e m p o r a r y t u n i n g t o t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n
announcements.
The RDS allows you to continue listening
to the same station by means of the
alternative frequency following. However, in
certain conditions, this RDS frequency
following cannot be provided throughout
the country. Radio stations do not cover
t h e w h o l e c o u n t r y , w h i c h e x p l a i n s t h e
loss of reception of the station during
a journey. Alternative frequencies “AF”
Your radio automatically checks and
selects the best frequency for the radio
station to which it is tuned (if the station
broadcasts on several transmitters or
frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
a p p r o x i m a t e l y 3 0 m i l e s ( 5 0 k m ) . T h e

If the station to which you are listen-
ing does not have several frequencies
in the region in which you are currently
located, you can deactivate the alterna-
tive frequency following.
Traffic information “TP”
T h e “ T r a f fi c P r o g r a m ” ( T P ) f u n c t i o n
permits automatic and temporary
switching to an FM station broadcasting
t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n .
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
O n c e t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n h a s e n d e d ,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were
listening to initially.
Regional following mode “REG”
Some stations are organised in a net-
work.
In different regions, they broadcast dif-
ferent or shared programmes depend-
ing on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibil- ity that you will be listening to a dif-
ferent programme.
The “AF”, “REG” and “TP”
functions can be deacti-
vated or activated via the
“TUNE” button functions set-
ting mode. Press the “TP” button.

previous source.
F o l l o w i n g t h e b r o a d c a s t i n g o f t h e t r a f fi c
