RDS
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 "
Activate RDS ".
Press OK , RDS is displayed in the
screen.
In " Radio " mode, press OK directly to activate /
deactivate RDS mode.
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 a station
that can occur during a journey.
Receiving TA messages
Press the TA button to activate or
deactivate traffic messages.
The TA (Traffic Announcement)
function gives priority to TA alert
messages. To operate, this function
needs good reception of a radio station
transmitting this type of message.
When a traffic report is transmitted, the
current audio source (Radio, CD,
...)
is interrupted automatically to play the
TA message. Normal playback of the
audio source resumes at the end of the
transmission of the message.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The stored stations
do not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the
stations are stored.
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 failure of the audio equipment.
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 PEUGEOT 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.
