Radio reception 
  Your car radio is subject to phenom-
ena which do not affect domestic ra-
dio sets. Both AM (MW/LW) and FM 
reception are subject to various forms 
of interference. This is no refl ection on 
the quality of the equipment, but is due 
to the nature of the signals and the way 
in which they are transmitted. 
  On MW/LW, interference may be no-
ticed when passing under high voltage 
power lines or bridges, or in tunnels. 
  On FM, interference may be the result 
of increasing distance from the trans-
mitter, defl ection of the signals by ob-
stacles (mountains, hills, buildings, 
etc.), or of being in an area which is 
not covered by a transmitter.     
Selecting a waveband 
  Briefl  y press button  R 
 to select the FM1, 
FM2, FMast and AM wavebands.   

AUDIO

  Briefl y press button  L 
 or  N 
 to search 
for the station immediately above or

  If the  TA 
 traffi c information pro-
gramme is selected, only stations 
broadcasting this type of programme 
are selected. 
  Searching for a station occurs fi rst in 
  "LO" 
 sensitivity (selection of the most 
powerful transmitters) during scan-
ning of the waveband, then in  "DX" 
 
sensitivity (selection of the weakest 
and most distant transmitters). 
  To make a direct search in  "DX" 
 sen-
sitivity, press button  L 
 or  N 
 twice.     
Manual station search 
  Press the  "MAN" 
 button. 
  Briefl y press button  L 
 or  N 
 to in-
crease or decrease the frequency 
displayed. 
  By continuing to press the button in 
the direction selected, you will obtain

ing to the same programme. 
  Press the  "RDS" 
 button for more 
than two seconds to switch the  REG 
 
function on or off.      
Using the RDS (Radio Data 
System) function on FM 
  Radio Data System allows you to 
continue listening to the same station, 
whatever the frequency it is using for 
the region you are going through.   The multifunction screen will show: 
   
 
-   "TA" 
 if the function is selected, 
   
-   "(TA)"

given priority, whatever source you 
are listening to (radio or CD). 
  If you wish to interrupt a message, 
press the  "TA" 
 button; this switches 
the function off.  
   
 
The volume of traffi c infor-
mation announcements is 
independent of the volume 
of normal radio listening. 
You can adjust it using the volume 
button. The setting will be stored 
and will be used when the next 
messages are broadcast.
