AUDIO and TELEMATICS
"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.

NAVIGATION-GUIDANCE
What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
the route and fi nally it provides the vi-
sual and audible guidance instructions.
What precautions should be
observed in order to make best use
of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x any refl ective fi lms or fi lms
containing carbon to the windows.
The GPS (Global Position-
ing System) consists of
several satellites distribut-
ed around the earth. They
continuously transmit digi-
tal signals which travel at the speed of
light, on 2 different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to cal-
culate its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map
database stored on the hard disk allows
the vehicle to be positioned on the road
network, so improving the accuracy of
the vehicle location function.
What is a point of interest
(POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest
icon").
They are classifi ed in
5 groups and identifi ed by one colour
for each group:
- Shops, fi nance and businesses
(Green),
- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),
- Restaurants (Orange),
- Public places and emergency ser-
vices (Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS
The system's measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or underground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorway,
- in an area with several very high
buildings,
- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation
and the reception of the GPS informa-
tion, the displayed information may dis-
appear from the screen temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, ...
