276
SOUND-SYSTEM

If the AF function has been activated and the
radio is not able to receive the tuned station, the

"FM Search" appears on the display (only for top
of the range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining
RDS functions, such as the display of the station
name, still remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM
bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)

If the TA function is activated with an audio
source other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3,
telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out
an automatic search and therefore it is possible,
when reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that
the frequency tuned into is different from the one
previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that broadcast in
FM and are enabled to broadcast traffic
information;
❒receive traffic information even when the CD
player is in operation;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
Note
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 5
(fixed value);
277
SOUND-SYSTEM

❒listening volume above 5: traffic news volume
equal to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during traffic news, the
level will not be shown on the display; the new

“TRAFFIC INFORMATION” will appear on the
display.
The TA function can be interrupted by pressing
any button on the car radio.

the regional stations being broadcast on the
selected network, the function must be activated.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
or
buttons.

display:
❒"Regional On": function activated;
❒"Regional Off": function deactivated.If the function is deactivated and you have tuned
into a regional station working in a given area and
you enter a different area, then the regional station
received in the new area will be broadcast.
Note
If the AF and REG functions are on at the same
time, once a border between two regions is
crossed, the radio may not switch correctly to a
valid alternative frequency.
MP3 DISPLAY function
(MP3 CD data displaying)
This function makes it possible to select the
information shown by the display when listening
to a CD containing MP3 tracks.

on the display.
