AUDIO EQUIPMENT Notes on radio
reception
Your audio equipment will be
subjected to phenomena which do
not affect domestic radio sets. Both
MW/LW and FM reception are sub-
ject to various forms of interference.
T h i s i s n o r e fl e c t i o n o n t h e q u a l i t y o f
the equipment but is due to the na-
ture of the signals and the way in
which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be
noticed when passing under high
voltage power lines or bridges, or in
tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the re-
sult of increasing distance from the
t r a n s m i t t e r , d e fl e c t i o n o f t h e s i g n a l b y
obstacles (mountains, hills, buildings,
etc) or of being in an area which is not
covered by a transmitter.

Press this button.
Your audio equipment
automatically stores
the six best transmitters
received on AM and FM in your cur-
rent location. These stations are stored

The ABS, in conjunction with the
EBFD and CSC * braking systems,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking
and provides improved control, in
particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.
The ABS prevents wheel lock in the
event of emergency braking.
The EBFD and CSC * systems pro-
vide full control of the braking pres-
sure wheel by wheel. A distribution
between:
- the front and the rear in the case of the EBFD (Electronic Brake
Force Distribution),
- the left and the right in the case of the CSC * (Cornering Stability
Control).
When the vehicle is being
