by DS AUTOMOBILES, such as a USB
charger connected to the 12
V socket.
The external environment (hills, buildings,

This is a
normal effect of the way in
which radio waves are transmitted and
does not indicate any failure of the audio
equipment.

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.

sometimes with a
change in volume.
Once the digital signal quality is restored,
the system automatically changes back
to " DA B ". If the "DAB" station being listened to is
not available on "FM" ("
DAB/FM" option
greyed out), or "DAB/FM station tracking"
is not activated, the sound will cut out
while the digital signal is too weak.
