RADIO
When the RDS function is activated,
RDS will appear on the display followed
by the name of the selected station. If on-
ly RDS is displayed, the function is acti-
vated but not available for the tuned
station.
WARNINGSWhen the RDS function
is activated, the radio continuously search-
es for the station broadcasting the same
program with the best reception. How-
ever, under certain conditions, searching
for an RDS station is not guaranteed all
over the country, as radio stations do not
cover 100% of the ground. This explains
the possible lost of station reception dur-
ing the journey.
TA function
(Traffic announcements)
It is possible to receive traffic informa-
tion with the TA function active.
When traffic information is broadcast, the
radio automatically switches to the broad-
casting station; once the information has
been broadcast, the radio automatically goes
back to the audio source that was playing.
To activate/deactivate the function, press
the TA/PTY(I) button. When the TA function is active, the dis-
play shows “TA”; if the display shows
“TA”, it means the function is active but
not available at the moment.
All traffic information broadcasts will
take priority in any radio mode (RADIO,
CD or CD CHANGER).
WARNINGThe traffic information
broadcast volume is independent of the
radio’s normal playing volume. It may be
adjusted with the volume knob. This set-
ting will be stored and used to receive sub-
sequent broadcasts.
During the transmission of a traffic bul-
letin, “TRAFFIC” is shown on the display
alternating with the name of the station
broadcasting the bulletin.
When the selected station cannot broad-
cast traffic information, “NO TA” is
shown on the display.
Traffic information interruption
Press the TA/PTY(I) button during
broadcasting of traffic information to stop
it. In this case the TA function is deacti-
vated.REG function (Regional program
search)
When stations in a single network
broadcast regional programs, they broad-
cast regional programs which may be re-
ceived in the different regions you are dri-
ving through.
The REG function prioritises reception
of a program even when the reception
zone is changed.
Hold down the TA/PTY(I) button for
more than 2 seconds to activate/deacti-
vate the function.

music, etc...).

tivate the PTY function:

lect the FM1, FM2, FMAST or AM fre-
quency bands, respectively.
