TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMA) can
transmit information about traffic conditions. In this case
the text “TA” appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select “Traffic
info”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the function on/off.
If the TA function has been activated, the icon “TA”
lights up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is activated with an
audio source other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3,
telephone or Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an
automatic search and therefore it is possible, when
reactivating the Tuner (Radio) source, that the frequency
tuned into is different from the one previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that transmit on the FM
band, that are enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the CD player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are radio stations
that, even with the TP function activated, do not
transmit traffic information (the icon “TP” appears on
the display).If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band, when
TA is activated it will tune to the last selected station in
the FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic news is transmitted
depends on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news volume equal
to 5 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news volume equal
to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during the traffic news, the level
will not be shown on the display; the new level will only
be maintained during the traffic news in progress.
While traffic information is being received, “TRAFFIC
INFORMATION” will appear on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by pressing any
button on the car radio.

This function is used to restore all settings to the factory
values.
The options are:
❒NO: no restore intervention;
❒YES: the default parameters will be restored. During
such operation, the text “Resetting” appears on the
display. At the end of the operation, the source does
not change and the previous situation will be
displayed.PHONE SET-UP
When a phone call is received, the radio audio will be
connected to the telephone output if the hands-free kit
is installed on the car. The sound of the telephone
always arrives at a fixed volume, but it is possible to
adjust it during a phone conversation by pressing the
twist control fig. 1.
The fixed telephone audio volume can be adjusted using
the “SPEECH VOLUME” function in the Menu (where the
function is provided). The word PHONE will appear on the
