"RDS"
Alternative fre
quencies "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 cov-
ers approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the temporary loss of reception
during a journey.
If the station to which you are listening does
not have several frequencies in the region in
which you are currently located, you can de-
activate the alternative frequency following.
Traffic information "TP"
The "Traffi c Program" (TP) function per-
mits automatic and temporary switching
to an FM station broadcasting traffi c in-
formation.
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 network.
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,
followed by the frequency of the broad-
casting 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 display,
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 broadcast-
ing the regional programme (REG). If
this also fails, the radio returns to the
stored station. The "Radio Data System" (RDS) function
on the FM waveband permits:
- access to the display of information,
such as the name of the station, ...
- tuning to the same station while trav-
elling through different regions,
- temporary tuning to traffi c information
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 listen-
ing to the same station by means of the
alternative frequency following. How-
ever, 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 sta-
tion during a journey.

What is RDS?
RDS station following
Tr a ffi c information function
Your radio automatically checks
and selects the best frequency
for the radio station to which it is
tuned (if the station broadcasts on sev-
eral transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the loss of reception 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 automatic
frequency following.
Radio Data System (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits:
- tuning to the same station while
travelling through different regions
(if the transmitters of this station
cover the area through which you
are travelling),
- temporary tuning to traffi c informa-
tion announcements,
- display of the name of the station,
etc...
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,
temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements or automatic station
following.
RDS allows you to continue listening to the
same station by means of the 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. The Traffic Program (TP) func-
tion permits automatic and tem-
porary switching to an FM sta-
tion broadcasting traffi c information.
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.

cast different or shared programmes
