11Audio modeRDS and automatic station tracking
RDS is a radio data service which makes it possible to receive additionalservices such as the display of station names, automatic station trackingand the TP function (Traffic Program ⇒ page 15).
With automatic station tracking, when the vehicle is in motion the stationalways changes to the frequency with the best reception in that moment. Ifthe reception is poor, the unit may be muted for a short time as it searchesfor alternative frequencies (AF).
RDS does not exist everywhere nor is it available for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is possible that the RDS and thealternative frequencies (AF) are deactivated ⇒ page 28.

TP functionactive.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if the trafficnews station is available.
Some stations that do not have their own traffic news support the TP func-tion by broadcasting traffic announcements from other stations (EON). Traf-fic announcements broadcast by the linked traffic news stations interruptthe current audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off

It is necessary to deactivate the TPfunction, otherwise no stations will be found in the subsequent search us-ing the arrow buttons.

While traffic news monitoring is switched on and enabled, TP is displayed⇒ Fig. 12.
In radio mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a sta-tion selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support theTP function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station searchusing the arrow buttons  ⇒ Fig. 1
