RADIO SOURCE
Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems.The reception of AM and FM signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals and does not refl ect on the quality of your radio installation.In AM, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the station transmitter, the refl ecting of signals off obstacles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button D to select the source.
Selection of frequencies and memory banks
Press button E successively to go through the memory banks FM1, FM2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual seearch is via buttons Jor M.By keeping button J or M pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. Scrolling will stop as soon as you release the button. The radio will remain tuned to the frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sensitivity:- To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode "LO" (default option).
- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the sensitive search mode "DX".
Search for a station is done fi rst in "LO" (local) sensitivity, then in "DX" (distant) sensitivity.To commence a search in sensitivity "DX" (distant) immediately, press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.
Automatic search
A short press on one of the buttons K or N will tune into higher or lower radio stations respectively, within the chosen waveband.By keeping button K or N pressed, you will be able to scroll through the waveband. The scrolling will stop at the fi rst station it fi nds once the button is released.You can also do this by means of control 2 at the steering wheel.If the automatic search is unable to tune into a known frequency (perhaps owing to very weak reception), it is possible to search manually to fi nd this station.
Display and selection of a station available in the area in which you are travelling
Briefl y press on button G to bring up a list of stations, this is updated every 10 minutes.You can also update this list at any time by giving a long press on button G.To listen to one of these stations, select by pressing buttons J or Mand validate using button L.

Automatic memorisation of transmitters (Autostore function)
In FM, if you hold down button Efor more than two seconds, your radio will automatically memorise the 6 strongest stations on the FM3 memory bank.The display shows "FM AST".The radio memorises the 6 strongest transmitters, deleting the 6 previously memorised.After the memorisation, the radio goes directly to memory 1 of memory bank FM3.
Note:
- If the traffi c information function has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the stations offering this facility will be memorised as priority.
If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will retain the previously memorised stations.
- If the system is unable to fi nd 6 stations, the unfi lled memory slots will remain free.
Recall of pre-set stations
Press button E briefl y to select the required waveband and memory bank.A short press on one the pre-selection buttons 1 to 6 on the keypad P recalls the corresponding memorised station. You can also do this using the control 3 at the steering wheel.If it is a RDS station, the frequency appears some seconds before the name appears.For RDS stations, recall of a station may prompt a search for a frequency corresponding to the region where you happen to be (see RDS system).

RDS SYTEM
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 broadcasting of their programmes. The data provides access to various functions described in this chapter, such as: display of the station name, intermittent traffi c information fl ashes or automatic scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regardless of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best possible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio station is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (if 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 the display C:
1. Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO icon using buttons J or M.
3. Confi rm your choice with a press on button L.
4. Select the sub-menu for the FM waveband, via buttons J or M. Confi rm 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/deselect to activate/deactivate the func-tion.
8. Validate your choice by select-ing "OK" on the display.
To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on the display 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 (active or inactive) of the func-tion.
4. Modify this status via buttons Kor N.
5. Then please wait for the display to disappear.
Note:
If the RDS function is active:- The "RDS" on the display will light up provided the station being received 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 deactivated, 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 organised in networks, broadcast regional programmes at certain times of day, and national programmes at other times.It is possible to search:- Either for a regional station only.
- Or across the whole network in order to fi nd a different programme.
To activate/deactivate this function, proceed as for Scanning of RDS stations.
Note:
When this mode is activated, the system will remain tuned to one specifi c regional station.
TA traffi c information (traffi c announcements)
Some stations allow broadcasting, only in FM, of these messages thanks to the "TA" function.You can activate the "TA" function 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 traffi c messages, to receive traffi c information fl ashes from an FM station which broadcasts them.
While the messages are being broadcast the original source is paused and when the messages have ended your radio will automatically revert to the music programme you were listening to.Note:- You have to be in FM wave band.
- The station being listened to should indicate via the RDS system that it broadcasts traffi c 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 broadcasting traffi c information.
- You can stop listening to a message by pressing button I.
Sound volume adjustment for traffi c information
The sound volume for traffi c information operates separately from that for the rest of the system, and can be adjusted independently.Rotate button A while a traffi c information message is being broadcast.This volume adjustment is memorised.
Selecting a programme type
Certain stations offer the possibility of listening to a particular programme type, selected from a list (PTY).press for more than two seconds on button I.Press on buttons J or M to scroll through and select the programme type you prefer, then press on button L to validate your choice.
