TRAFFIC INFO function
(traffic information)
Certain stations in the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMT) are enabled to also broadcast
information about traffic conditions. In this
case the display shows “TP”.
To turn the TA (traffic information) func-
tion on/off, briefly press button MENU, se-
lect “TRAFFIC INFO” and then ON/OFF.
IMPORTANT If the TA function (traffic in-
formation) is on, with CD, Telephone or
Mute/Pause active: automatic station tun-
ing 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
CD player are being used;
❒to receive traffic information at a pre-
defined minimum volume even with the
radio volume off.
IMPORTANT In certain countries radio
stations exist which, even if the TP func-
tion is on (the display shows “TP”), 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 value is not shown on the dis-
play and the new value is kept only for the
bulletin in progress.
When receiving traffic information the dis-
play will show message “TRAFFIC
INFORMATION”.
The TA function is interrupted by press-
ing any sound system button. AF SWITCHING 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 SWITCHING” and
then ON/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.
