The preset stations do not function (no sound,
87.5 MHz is displayed, etc.). 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 reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5
MHz is displayed,
e t c .) . The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
Activate the RDS function to allow the system
to see if a
more power ful transmitter is within
the geographic area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) blocks 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 in an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a
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.Switch off the RDS function if the phenomenon
is too frequent and always on the same route.
