Selecting a station
Radio reception may be affected by the use of electrical equipment not approved by the Brand, such as a USB
charger connected to the 12 V socket. The exterior environment (hills, buildings, tunnel, car park, below ground...) may prevent reception, even in RDS station tracking mode. This phenomenon is normal in the propagation of radio waves and is in no way indicative of a fault with the audio system. Select " Radio stations " in the secondary page.

Activate/ Deactivate RDS
RDS, if activated, allows 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 entire country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the
territory. This explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.

Press " OK " to confirm. Press " OK " to confirm.
The "Radio Text" function allows information transmitted by the radio station, relating to the station or the song playing, to be displayed.
Display text information Play TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert messages. To operate, this function
needs good reception of a radio station that carries this type of message. While traffic information is being broadcast, the current media is automatically interrupted so that the TA message can be heard. Normal play of the media previously playing is resumed at the end of the message.

DAB-FM auto tracking
"DAB" does not cover 100% of the te r r i to r y. When the digital radio signal is poor, "DAB-FM auto tracking" allows you to continue listening to the same station, by automatically switching to the corresponding "FM" analogue station (if there is one). If "DAB-FM auto tracking" is activated, there is a difference of a few seconds when the system switches to "FM" analogue radio with sometimes a variation in volume. Once the digital signal is restored, the system automatically changes back to " D A B " .
Digital radio provides higher quality reception. The different multiplexes offer a choice of radio stations arranged in
alphabetical order.
If the "DAB" station being listened to is not available on "FM" (" DAB- FM " option greyed out), or "DAB/FM auto tracking" is not activated, the sound will cut out while the digital signal is too w e a k .

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
Certain traffic jams along the route are not indicated in real time.
On starting, it is several minutes before the system begins to receive the traffic information. Wait until the traffic information is being received correctly (display of the traffic information icons on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motor ways...) are listed for the traffic information. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the traffic information available.
The altitude is not displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3 minutes to receive more than 4 satellites correctly. Wait until the system has started up completely so that there is GPS coverage by at least 4 satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel...) or the weather, the conditions of reception of the GPS signal may vary. This phenomenon is normal. The system is dependent on the GPS signal reception
conditions.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
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 by means of the short-cut menu to enable the system to check whether there is a more power ful 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 through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of stations received.
The station is not received or its name has changed in the list. Press on the "Update list" button in the "Radio stations" secondary menu.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the title of the song for example). The system interprets this information as the name of the station. The name of the radio station changes.
