The quality of reception
of the radio station
listened
to gradually
deteriorates or the stored

(no
sound, 87.5 Mhz is
displayed...). The
vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened
to
or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the
vehicle
is travelling. Activate
the "RDS" function by means of the
short-cut

whether
there is a more powerful transmitter in the
geographical
area.
The
environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block
reception,
including in RDS mode.This
phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a
fault with the audio system.
The
aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
