FM2 and AM (both Medium and Long
wavebands).
Your waveband selection will be shown in the
display panel.
Note: If a CD is being played, select AM/FM to

AUTOSTORE CONTROL
The Autostore function fi nds and stores up to
nine strong stations on a selected waveband to
presets 1 to 9. This is a useful way to locate and
store stations with a good signal when
travelling in an unfamiliar area.
If no preset stations are currently stored, select
Autostore to start the process for storing
presets.
If preset stations are already stored, a short
touch will recall those stations and tune to the
previous station, whereas a long touch of
Autostore will start a new autostore process.
The radio will be briefly muted while it searches
the selected waveband (AM or FM) for up to
nine strong stations.
When the process is co mplete, the radio will
default to preset 1 and audio volume will be
restored.
If stations cannot be located for all the preset
positions, those that are found will be allocated
positions commencing with number 1, leaving
the remainder empty.
Note: The display will show — for empty
presets.
When stations have been stored, select
Autostore to switch between the
automatically-stored stations and the
manually-stored stations.

With the Traffic Announcements (TA) option
on, local traffic announcements will interrupt
normal broadcasts or playback.
If audio volume is set at a minimum, then the
volume will increase for the announcement,
returning to the previous volume setting
afterwards.
When broadcasting an announcement, a traffic
announcement pop-up is displayed.
When enabled, TA will appear at the top of the
touch-screen. The audio un it then checks that
the station has Radio Data System (RDS)
Traffic Programme (TP). If it is not available on
the current station, th e display will not show
TP . If TP is not displayed with TA after 45
seconds have elapsed, th en the audio unit will

Traffic announcements (TA) can be skipped
during broadcast by selecting Skip, which will
cancel the pop-up and the announcement. You
will be returned to your selected station.
Note: Selecting Skip will not switch off TA
permanently and it will remain ready for the
next interrupt.
Select Traffic off to switch TA off completely
(the TA indicator will clear from the display).
Selecting anywhere on the pop-up screen will
cancel the pop-up, but the traffic
announcement will continue to be broadcast.

from local radio stations and may be better in
some locations than others.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Digital radio reception
DAB radio is very different from normal AM/FM
radio in both operation and sound quality. The
DAB network is designed to provide near CD
quality from radio broadcasts. In most
locations DAB signals are available without
hiss, crackle, pop or interference, and no
fading or overlap.
DAB radio can significantly increase the
number of radio channe ls/stations available.
The DAB signals are transmitted to most major
cities, towns and motorway networks.
Radio signals travel in a straight line so large
obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the
vehicle from the signal, causing temporary loss
of reception (known as dead spots). Digital radio is transm
itted from regional
transmitters. Some local channels are not
available outside th e range of their
transmitters. If you want to listen to local
channels as you move around the country, use
the auto-tune function (AUTO) to build new
channel lists. For more information on the
auto-tune function. See CHANNEL
AUTOMATIC TUNING (page 284).
Note: If any auxiliary electrical equipment is
connected to the vehicle, then this may reduce
the DAB radio sound quality.

Digital audio broadcasting
Ensembles
Unlike AM/FM radio, DAB transmits several
channels/stations on a single frequency. A
group of channels is known as an ensemble.
Ensembles may consist of six or more
channels (national or local). Some may have
sub-channels offering several listening
options. When scrolling through the channels the
sub-channels will appear
in order, and can be
selected in the same way as the channels. If
reception is lost when the vehicle is in motion
select AUTO to build a new list of ensembles.
The table below provides an example of the
ensembles, channels and sub-channels
available in one location.
