AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different
modes in the RDS system:
❒“AF Switching: On” - search for alter-
native frequencies activated (the word-
ing “AF” appears on the display);
❒“AF Switching: OFF” - search for alter-
native frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the function:
❒press the button MENU and select “AF
Switching: On”;
❒press the buttons ÷/ ˜to acti-
vate/deactivate the function.
By turning the function on the car radio
will automatically tune into the station
with the strongest signal that is transmit-
ting the same programme. While driving,
you can continue to listen to the same sta-
tion 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 icon
“AF” will appear in the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio can not receive the tuned sta-
tion, the radio activates the automatic
search during which the wording “FM
Search” will be shown on the display (for
technologically advanced radios only).
With AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions such as the radio
station display, continue being activated.
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 wording
“TA” appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the TA function:
❒press the button MENU briefly and se-
lect “Traffic info”;
❒press the buttons ÷/ ˜to acti-
vate/deactivate the function.
If the TA function was activated, the icon
“TA” will appear 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, do not transmit traffic in-
formation (the icon “TP” appears on the
display).
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.

The volume at which the traffic news is
transmitted depends on the listening
volume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news
volume 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 will ap-
pear on the display:
❒“Regional Mode: On” - function acti-
vated;
❒“Regional Mode: On” - function deac-
tivated.
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.
WARNING If the AF and REG functions
are on at the same time, once a border
between two regions is crossed, the radio
may not switch correctly to a valid alter-
native 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 wording
“MP3 Display” appears on the display.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
buttons ÷or ˜.
The following functions 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).

source is activated, the radio will turn
on with the volume set for these
sources. The volume could be adjusted
between the minimum and the maxi-
mum level, by deactivating the exter-
nal audio source.
❒If the battery charge is too low, the vol-
ume could not be adjusted between the
minimum and the maximum level.
