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 signals may suffer from interference, which is caused by the nature and propa-gation 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 blacks-pots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
SELECTION OF RADIO SOURCE
Press button D to select the source.
You can also do this by means of control 5 at the steering wheel.
SELECTION OF FREQUENCIES AND MEMORY BANKS
Press button R 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 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 sen-sitivity:To capture the most powerful transmitters, choose the local search mode "LO" (default option).

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 pro-vides 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 lis-tening to your chosen radio station, regardless of the different frequen-cies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
SCANNING OF RDS STATIONS
Your radio keeps the best possible reception by continuously looks for any other frequencies on which the selected radio station is broadcast, automatically choosing the fre-quency offering the best reception (if the station broadcasts on more than one transmitter or frequency.

REGIONAL SEARCH MODE
Some stations, when they are organised 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 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 TRAFFIC INFORMATION (TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENTS)
Some stations allow broadcasting, only in FM, of these messages thanks to the "TA" function.
