Radio reception may be affected by the
use of electrical equipment not approved
by the Brand, such as a USB charger
connected to the 12 V socket.
The exterior environment (hills, buildings,
tunnels, basement car parks, etc.) may block
reception, including in RDS mode. This
behaviour is normal in propagation of radio
waves and does not indicate any failure of the
audio system.

station. An audible signal confirms the presetting
of the station.
It is possible to preset up to 16

press on the preset station.
Activating/Deactivating RDS
RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by automatically
retuning to alternative frequencies.
In certain conditions, tracking 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.
Press the "Radio Settings " button.
Activate/Deactivate "RDS options".
Playing TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives
priority to TA alert messages.
To operate, this function needs good reception
of a radio station that transmits this type of
message. While traffic information is being
broadcast, the current media is automatically
interrupted so that the TA message can be
heard. Normal play of the media previously
playing is resumed at the end of the message.
Press the "Radio Settings" button.

announcement (TA)".
Audio settings
Press the "Radio Settings " button.
In the list, select "Audio Settings ".

The reception quality of the tuned radio
station gradually deteriorates or the station
presets are not working (no sound, 87.5 MHz
is displayed, etc.).
The vehicle is too far from the selected station’s
transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
►

Activate the "RDS" function in the upper bar
to enable the system to check whether there is
a more powerful transmitter in the geographical
area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS mode.
This is a perfectly normal phenomenon, and is
not indicative of an audio system malfunction.
