AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different
modes in the RDS system:
❒“AF ON”: search for alternative fre-
quencies activated (the letters “AF” ap-
pear in the display);
❒“AF OFF”: search for alternative fre-
quencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the function:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF
ON”;
❒press the buttons ÷/˜to acti-
vate/deactivate the function.
With the function activated the car radio
will automatically tune into the station
with the strongest signal that is transmit-
ting the same programme. While driving,
the same station can be continuously lis-
tened to without having to change the fre-
quency when you change zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive
the station that you are listening to, in the
area you are driving through.If the AF function was activated, the “AF”
icon will light up on the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio cannot receive the tuned station,
the radio activates the automatic search
during which the text “FM Search” will
be shown on the display (for versions/
markets where provided).
With AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions such as the radio
station name display, remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on
FM bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic news)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the text
“TA” appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the TA function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and
select “TRAFFIC INFO”;
❒press the buttons ÷/˜to acti-
vate/deactivate the function.
If the TA function has been activated, the
“TA” icon lights up on the display.IMPORTANT If the TA function is acti-
vated with an audio source other than
Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, CD CHANG-
ER, telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio
can carry out an automatic search and
therefore it is possible, when reactivating
the Tuner (Radio) source, that the fre-
quency tuned into is different from the
one set previously.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that trans-
mit on the FM band, that are enabled to
transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the
CD/CD CHANGER player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are
radio stations that, even with the TP func-
tion activated (the icon “TP” appears on
the display), do not transmit traffic infor-
mation.
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM
band, when TA is activated it will tune to
the last selected station in the FM1 band.
