RDS
Short procedure
Long procedure
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks, ...) may block reception, including in RDS mode. This is a normal effect of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not indicate any failure of the audio system. Press the " MENU " button.
Select " Audio functions ".
Press OK .
Select the " FM waveband preferences " function.
Press OK .
Select " RDS ".
Press OK , RDS is displayed in the screen.
In " Radio " mode, press the OK button to activate or deactivate RDS directly.
RDS, if activated, 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 a station that can occur during a journey.
If RDS is not available, the RDS symbol appears barred in the screen.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The preset stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND button to return to the waveband (FM, FM2, DAB, AM) on which the stations are preset.
The traffic announcement (TA) is displayed. I do not receive any traffic information.
The radio station is not part of the regional traffic information network. Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic information.
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (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 to enable the system to check whether there is a more power ful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, underground car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a fault in the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through an automatic car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another frequency giving better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is too frequent and always on the same route.
