RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue listening to the same station
by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in certain
conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assured throughout
the country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the territory. This
explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.

Digital radio - DAB / FM tracking


"DAB" does not have 100% coverage of the country.

to continue listening to the same station, by automatically switching
to the corresponding analogue "FM" station (if it exists).

announcements from Transport, News, Entertainment
and Flash special (availability according to the station).

" and confi rm

If "DAB / FM auto tracking" is on, there will be a difference of a few
seconds in the programme when the system changes to analogue
"FM" radio, with sometimes a variation in volume.
When the strength of the digital signal is good again, the system
automatically switches back to "DAB"

If the "DAB" station you are listening to is not available on "FM"
(" DAB/FM
" option barred), or if "DAB / FM auto tracking" is not on,
the sound will be cut when the digital signal is too weak.
