Basic setting
8If a radio station sends additional inform ation via the RDS function while a station
is being stored, it can occur that the name of the radio station is later displayed
incorrectly in the memory list.Traffic information function– Press on the button , in order to switch the traffic information func- tion on or off.The display “ TP” in combination with a station name (e. g. in the station or memory
list), indicates a traffic information station.
Irrespective of which radio station is heard, an additional receiver part in the unit
ensures that a traffic information station can always be received as long as the traffic
information function is switched on.
The operational readiness of the traffic information function is indicated by “ TP” at
the top right in the display.
If no traffic information st ation can be received becaus e, for example, radio recep-
tion is interrupted in general, “ No TP” will be displayed instead of “TP ”. Remember
that car parks, tunnels, high buildings or mountains can interrupt the radio signal
up to the total loss of reception.
Incoming traffic announcement
When a traffic announcemen t is being received, a pop-up window will open.
If you wish to interrupt the transmission of the traffic announcement, press on the
function key in the pop-up window Traffic announcement. The traffic infor-
mation function remains available and a following traffic announcement is made
again while the audio mode is in op eration. Pressing the function key
will switch off the traffic information function permanently.Traffic information memoryAutomatic recording of traffic reports
If the traffic information function is switched on and a traffic information station is
received, the incoming traffic reports will be recorded , as long as the ignition is switched on. This way you are informed at
any time of the current traffic situation,
even if you have your radio switched off for a lengthy period while driving.
If the vehicle is not in use (ignition off) while a traffic information station is received
and the traffic information function is sw itched on, incoming traffic reports from
this station are recorded for two hours.
When switching the ignition off the current traffic information station is displayed
for about five seconds, from which the ne xt two hours of traffic reports will be
recorded. During this display of five seco nds, you can select another traffic infor-
mation station using the arrow keys on the unit, which will be recorded.
If, when the vehicle is not in use, the rece ption of the set traffic information station
is too poor because of external influences , it will automatically search for another
traffic information station.
A maximum of nine traffic a nnouncements with a total length of up to four minutes
can be recorded. The oldest traffic report will always be overwritten if the memory
is full.
TIM recording times
You also have the possibility to set two TIM recording times, to which the unit will
also record traffic reports when the vehicl e is not in use. Then the radio starts
according to the set TIM recording time with the recording of all the incoming traffic
reports on the set traffic information station.
For example, when you drive your vehicle to work everyday at a certain time, only
enter the approximate start time. The radio starts with the recording 90 minutes
before the set start time and ends the recording 30 minutes afterwards. In this way,
before you begin your journey, you can retrie ve the last traffic reports and tune into
the current traffic situation of the distance to be driven.
Note
•
In case of a message of over four minu tes long, the beginning is overwritten.
•
If the vehicle has not been used for mo re than three days, no further traffic
reports are recorded, in order to stop the vehicle battery from running down.
