telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an
automatic search and therefore it is possible, when

tuned into is different from the one previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that transmit on the FM
band, that 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 volume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are radio stations
that, even with the TP function activated, do not
transmit traffic information (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 equal
to 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 maintained 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.
