AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different
modes in the RDS system:
❒“AF Switching On”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies activated (the letters
“AF” appear on the display);
❒“AF Switching Off”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to switch the function
on/off:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF
Switching On”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the
function on/off.
With the function activated, the radio au-
tomatically tunes into the station with the
strongest signal broadcasting the same
program. While driving, you can contin-
ue to listen to the same station without
having to change the frequency 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 is activated, “AF” will
light up on the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio is not able to receive the tuned
station, the radio activates the automatic
search, during which “FM Search” appears
on the display (only for top of the range
radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions, such as the display
of the station name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on
FM bands.TRAFFIC INFORMATION

Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2

light up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is acti-
vated with an audio source other than
Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, Telephone or
Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an
automatic search and therefore it is pos-
sible, when reactivating the Tuner (Radio)
source, that the frequency tuned into will
be different from the one set previously.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that
broadcast on the FM band, which are
enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the
CD player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume zeroed.
