GUIDE
The volume at which the traffic news is
transmitted depends on the listening vol-
ume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news
volume equal to 5 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news
volume equal to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during the traffic
news, the level will not be shown on the
display; the new level will only be main-
tained during the traffic news in progress.
While traffic information is being received,
“TRAFFIC INFORMATION” will appear
on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by
pressing any button on the car radio.REGIONAL MODE function
(reception of regional
transmissions)
Some national broadcasters transmit re-
gional programmes at certain times of the
day (that vary from region to region). This
function makes it possible to tune into lo-
cal (regional) broadcasters automatically
(see “EON function” paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune
into the regional stations being broadcast
on the selected network, the function
must be activated.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
buttons ÷or ˜.
The current status of the function appears
on the display:
❒“REG ON” function activated.
❒“REG OFF” function deactivated.
If the function is deactivated and you have
tuned into a regional station working in a
given area and you enter a different area,
then the regional station received in the
new area will be broadcast.
IMPORTANT If the AF and REG functions
are active at the same time, once a bor-
der between two regions is crossed, the
radio may not switch correctly to a valid
alternative frequency.MP3 DISPLAY Function
(MP3 Compact Disc data display)
This function makes it possible to select
the information shown by the display
when listening to a CD containing MP3
tracks.
The function can be selected only if a
MP3 CD is loaded: in this case the text
“MP3 DISP” appears on the display.
To change the function use the buttons
÷or ˜.
The following settings are available:
❒“TITLE” (track title, if ID3-TAG is avail-
able);
❒“AUTHOR” (track author, if ID3-TAG
is available);
❒“ALBUM” (track album, if ID3-TAG
is available);
❒“FOLDER” name (name assigned to the
folder);
❒“FILE” name (name assigned to the MP3
file).

EON FUNCTION
(Enhanced Other Network)
In some countries, there are circuits that
group multiple broadcasters that are en-
abled to transmit traffic information to-
gether. In this case, the programme of the
station that is being listened to will be tem-
porarily interrupted to:
❒receive traffic information (only with
the TA function on);
❒listen to regional transmissions each
time they are transmitted by one of the
broadcasters in the same circuit. EMERGENCY ALARM
RECEPTION
The radio can receive emergency alerts in
RDS mode in exceptional circumstances
or when there are dangerous situations
(earthquakes, floods, etc.), if these are be-
ing transmitted by the broadcaster tuned
into.
This function is activated automatically and
cannot be turned off.
The text “ALARM” is shown on the dis-
play during the transmission of an emer-
gency alert. The volume of the radio
changes during this announcement in the
same way as during a traffic announce-
ment.STEREOPHONIC
BROADCASTERS
If the incoming signal is weak, the repro-
duction is automatically switched from
Stereo to Mono.
