Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encoun-tered by domestic systems.
The reception of AM and FM sig-nals 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 af-fected 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 blacks-pots (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 wave-band, and the memory banks MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
Manual search
Manual search is via buttons J or 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 car-ried out according to two levels of sensitivity :
- To capture the most powerful trans-mitters, 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 sensi-tivity “DX” (distant) immediately , press twice in succession on one of the buttons K or N.
Automatic search
A short press on one of the but-tons 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 re-ception), 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.

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 strong-est transmitters, deleting the 6 previously memorised.
After the memorisation, the ra-dio 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 re-tain 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 correspond-ing 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 sta-tion may prompt a search for a frequency corresponding to the region where you happen to be (see RDS system).

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, inter-mittent traffi c information fl ashes or automatic scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regard-less of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best pos-sible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio sta-tion is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (providing 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 multifunction screen 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 Jor 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/dese-lect to activate/deactivate the function.
8. Validate your choice by select-ing “OK” on the display.
To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on multifunction screen 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 (ac-tive or inactive) of the function.
4. Modify this status via buttons K or N.
5. Then please wait for the dis-play to disappear.
Note :
If the RDS function is active :
The “RDS” on the display will light up provided the station being re-ceived 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 deactiva-ted, 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 or-ganised in networks, broadcast regional programmes at certain times of day, and national pro-grammes 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 func-tion, 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” func-tion 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 re-ceive traffi c information fl ashes from an FM station which broad-casts them.
While the messages are being broadcast the original source is paused and when the messages have ended your radio will auto-matically revert to the music pro-gramme you were listening to.
Notes :
- 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 broadcast-ing traffi c information.
- You can stop listening to a mes-sage by pressing button I.
Sound volume adjustment for traffi c information
The sound volume for traffi c infor-mation 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 memo-rised.
