INTRODUCTION
If the AF function was activated, the icon
“AF” lights up on the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio can not receive the tuned sta-
tion, the radio activates the automatic
search during which the wording “FM
Search” will be shown on the display (for
versions/markets where provided).
With AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions such as the radio
station name display, continue being acti-
vated.
The AF function can only be activated on
FM bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION
function (traffic news)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the wording
“TA” appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate
the TA function:
❒
press the button MENU briefly and se-
lect “Traffic info”;
❒
press the buttons
¯
/
˙
to acti-
vate/deactivate the function.
If the TA function was activated, the icon
“TA” lights up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is acti-
vated with an audio source other than
Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, telephone or
Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an
automatic search and therefore it is pos-
sible, when reactivating the Tuner (Radio)
source, that the frequency tuned into is
different from the set previously one.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒
search only for RDS stations that trans-
mit on the FM band, that are enabled to
transmit traffic information;
❒
receive traffic information even if the
CD player is on;
❒
receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are
radio stations that, even with the TP func-
tion activated, do not transmit traffic in-
formation (the icon “TP” appears on 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 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 main-
tained 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 button on the car radio.
