RDS
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks,
etc.) 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
equipment.
If RDS is not available, the RDS symbol
appears struck out in the screen.
The RDS, if activated, 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 entire country as radio stations
do not cover 100% of the territory. This
explains the loss of reception of the station
during a journey.

the current audio source (Radio, CD, etc.) is
interrupted automatically to play the TA
message. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the end of
the message.
