(if available). Long touch (two seconds): In AM or FM mode,
for as long as the seek

the frequencies will be scanned either up or
down. If you then release the button, the
touch-screen displays Manual for a short time
and repeated short touc hes of the button will
manually change the frequency.
Storing stations as presets
On each waveband, ni ne stations can be
memorised using the touch-screen keypad.
After tuning to a stati on, touch and hold (two

TRAFFIC INFORMATION CONTROL
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
search for a new TP station.
To change this setting, on the AM/FM screen,
select Settings . Select
Options and then switch the Traffic
option On or Off.
Note: You can switch the Traffic option on and
off on the Settings menu for each individual
source.
Skipping traffic announcements
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.
Note: TA relies on the broadcast information
from local radio stations and may be better in
some locations than others.

RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS)
Options menu overview
Your radio is equipped with Radio Data System
(RDS), which enables the audio unit to receive
additional inform ation with normal FM radio
signals.
When tuned to certai n stations on the FM
waveband, the radi o decodes signals
transmitted to provide the functions listed
below (dependent upon th e service available
from the broadcasters).
Note: Not all FM radio stat ions broadcast RDS
information. If you are currently tuned to a
non-RDS station, then RDS features will be
unavailable.
Select Settings to display the Settings menu,
then select Options to display the list of RDS
options.
Traffic
RDS provides local trav el information (where
broadcast). See TRAFFIC INFORMATION
CONTROL (page 276).
Regionalisation (REG)
As you drive into different radio reception
areas, RDS automatically retunes the radio to
the strongest signal. The Regional (REG)
option stops the system from tuning to another
local radio station wi th a stronger signal.
From the Options menu, you can switch the
REG option On or Off . With REG on, your
selected local radio st ation will remain tuned
even if reception levels drop.
Alternative frequency (AF)
Some radio stations broadcast on different
frequencies in different parts of the country. If
the selected station signal weakens, the radio
will automatically re -tune to a stronger
alternative frequency (AF) , if one is available
(this feature is partic ularly useful on long
journeys where the vehicle travels through
different transmitter areas serving the same
radio station).
From the Options menu, you can switch AF On
or Off .
Enhanced other networks (EON)
The Enhanced Other Network (EON) option will
tune to any radio station on the same station
network as the one that you are listening to, if
the signal becomes weak.
Either local ( Local) or distant ( Dist.) networks
can be enabled on the Options menu, or the
option can be switched Off.

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.
