"RDS" "RDS"
Alternative frequencies "AF"
Your radio automatically checks and
selects the best frequency for the radio
station to which it is tuned (if the station
broadcasts on several transmitters or
frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the temporary loss of recep-
tion during a journey.
If the station to which you are listening
does not have several frequencies in
the region in which you are currently lo-
cated, you can deactivate the alternative
frequency following.
Traffic information "TP"
The "Traffi c Program" (TP) function per-
mits automatic and temporary switc-hing
to an FM station broadcasting traffi c infor-
mation.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.
Regional following mode "REG"
Some stations are organised in a net-
work.
In different regions, they broadcast diffe-
rent or shared programmes depending on
the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibility
that you will be listening to a different
programme.
The "AF", "REG" and "TP"
functions can be deacti-
vated or activated via the
"TUNE" button functions
setting mode. Press the "TP" button.
"TP" appears on the display.
If the station is compatible,
"RDS" also appears.
If the radio detects traffi c information,
"TRAF INF" appears on the display, fol-
lowed by the frequency of the broadcasting
station, then its name.
The volume is different from that of the
previous source.
Following the broadcasting of the traffi c
information, the volume returns to that
of the source prior to the interruption.
When "TP" appears on the dis-
play, the radio stops solely at
RDS stations broadcasting traffi c
information. On long distance journeys, when
the stored station becomes
weak, the radio searches fi rst for
another frequency for the same
station (AF). Then, if this fails, it
searches for a frequency broad-
casting the regional programme
(REG). If this also fails, the radio
returns to the stored station. The "Radio Data System" (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits:
- access to the display of information,
such as the name of the station, ...
- tuning to the same station while
travelling through different regions,
- temporary tuning to traffi c informa-
tion announcements.
Most FM stations use RDS. These stations
transmit non-audible data in addition to
their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
automatic station following or temporary
tuning to traffi c information announce-
ments.
The RDS allows you to continue liste-
ning to the same station by means of
the alternative frequency following.
However, in certain conditions, this
RDS frequency following cannot be
provided throughout the country. Radio
stations do not cover the whole country,
which explains the loss of reception of
the station during a journey.
