continue listening to the same station
by automatic retuning to alternative
frequencies. However, in certain conditions,

of the station during a journey.

Take care when increasing the volume
while listening to TA messages. The
volume may prove too high on return to
the original audio source.

deactivate traffic messages.
Receiving INFO messages
The INFO function gives priority to TA

DAB/FM station tracking
"DAB" does not have 100% coverage of
the country.
When the digital signal is weak,
"DAB / FM auto tracking" allows you to

FM station sometimes with a change in
volume. If the "DAB" station you are listening to
is not available on FM ("
DAB/FM" option
barred), or if "DAB / FM auto tracking"
is not on, the sound will be cut when the
digital signal is too weak.
