Automatic seek tuning start
(During cassette operation)
If you leave the reception area of your traffic
program station while you are playing a cas-
sette, the car radio will automatically tune into
another traffic program station.
If no traffic program station is found within
approximately 30 seconds, the tape will be
stopped and you will hear a warning beep.
To switch the warning beep off, proceed as
detailed above.
Adjusting the volume for traffic
messages and warning beep
A default value is set ex factory for the volu-
me of traffic announcements and the warning
beep. You can change this default setting
with the DSC function (see “DSC programm-
ing, ARI (TA)”).
Reception of traffic announcements with RDS-EON
Many FM broadcasters provide their service
area with up-to-date traffic messages at re-
gular intervals.
All traffic program stations transmit a special
signal in parallel to the radio program. Your
car radio is able to identify such traffic pro-
gram station by this TP signal. The display
will indicate “TP” to confirm that a traffic
program station is tuned in.
If you press TA when a traffic announcement
is played, the radio stops playing the messa-
ge and switches to the previous mode. The
priority of later traffic announcements re-
mains on.
Other radio stations do not air traffic announ-
cements by themselves, but offer the possi-
bility to receive the traffic announcements of
another radio station within the same radio
network. In this case, TP also lights up in the
display.
TA is displayed, if the priority of traffic an-
nouncements is on.
If a traffic announcement is aired, your radio
will switch to the traffic program station for the
duration of the message and will switch back
to the previous station after the end of the
message.
