AF function
(alternative frequency search)
Within the RDS system the radio can
work in two different modes:
❒“AF ON”: alternative frequency search
on (the display shows “AF”);
❒“AF OFF”: alternative frequency search
off.
With “AF ON”, the radio is automatical-
ly tuned to the station with the strongest
signal that is broadcasting the same pro-
gramme. During the journey it will thus be
possible to continue listening to the sta-
tion chosen without having to change the
frequency when changing area.
Of course, the station being listened to
must be receivable in the area the car is
crossing.
To turn the AF function on/off press but-
ton MENU, select “AF ON” or “AF OFF”.
If the AF function has been turned on the
display shows “AF”.
If the radio is working in the AM band,
when the AF function is activated, it pass-
es to the FM1 band on the last station se-
lected. TA function

Certain stations in the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMT) are enabled to broadcast infor-
mation about traffic conditions.
To turn the TA (traffic information) func-
tion on/off, briefly press button MENU and
select “TA ON” or “TA OFF”.
IMPORTANT If the TA function (traffic in-
formation) is on, with CD or Mute/Pause
active: automatic tuning to a station en-
abled to broadcast traffic information will
start.
With the TA function it is possible:
❒to search only RDS stations that trans-
mit in the FM band, enabled to broad-
cast traffic information;
❒to receive traffic information although
the CD player is being used;
❒to receive traffic information at a pre-
defined minimum volume even with the
radio volume off. MENU

REG function
(regional broadcast reception)
Certain national broadcasters, at deter-
minate times of the day, transmit region-
al programmes which differ from region
to region. This function makes it possible
to tune in only on local stations (region-
al) (see paragraph “EON function”).
Activate this function if you want to tune
automatically to regional stations broad-
casting in the selected band.
To turn the function on/off use button
¯or ˙.The display will show the current status
of the function:
❒“REG ON”: function on.
❒“REG OFF”: function off.
If the function is off and a regional pro-
gramme is tuned that works in a deter-
minate area and the car enters a different
area, the regional station of the new area
is received.
IMPORTANT If AF and REG are both ac-
tive, when passing from one region to an-
other the radio could not tune properly to
a valid alternative frequency. IMPORTANT In certain countries radio
stations exist which, even if enabled, do
not transmit traffic information.
If the radio is working in the AM band,
when TA is activated, it passes to the FM1
band on the last station heard.
The volume with which the traffic bulletin
is transmitted varies depending on the lis-
tening volume:
❒listening volume below 20: traffic bul-
letin volume = 20 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 20: traffic bul-
letin volume = listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during a traffic
bulletin the new volume level will be
shown on the display but it will be kept
only for the bulletin in progress.
The TA function is interrupted by press-
ing any sound system button.
