❒search only for RDS stations that transmit on the FM
band, that are enabled to transmit traffic information;

the display).If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band, when
TA is activated it will tune to the last selected station in
the FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic news is transmitted
depends on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news volume equal
to 5 (fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news volume equal
to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during the traffic news, the level
will not be shown on the display; the new level will only
be maintained during the traffic news in progress.
While traffic information is being received, “TRAFFIC
INFORMATION” will appear on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by pressing any
