IMPORTANT
If the “TP” function
is on and the station tuned is not en-
abled to provide traffic information or
is no longer able to broadcast this in-
formation (the display does not show
“TP”), after about 1 minute in which
the radio is in these conditions:
– if a cassette or CD is being played
another station enabled to broadcast
traffic information is sought auto-
matically;
– if the radio is in use a warning is
sounded to alert that it is not possible
to receive traffic information; to in-
terrupt it, it is necessary to tune to a
broadcaster enabled to give traffic in-
formation or switch off the “TP”
function.
“RDS-AF” FUNCTION
(seeking alternative frequencies)
Within the RDS system the radio
can work in two different modes:
– alternative frequency search on;
– alternative frequency search off.
When the signal of the RDS station
tuned weakens, the following two
cases may occur:
– With “RDS-AF” on, the RDS sys-
tem activates automatic tuning of the
optimum frequency of the station
chosen, with the stations enabled,
therefore the radio is automatically
tuned to the station with the strongest
signal that is broadcasting the same
programme. During the journey it will
thus be possible to continue listening
to the station chosen without having
to change the frequency when chang-
ing area. Of course, the station being
listened to must be receivable in the
area the car is crossing.
– With “RDS-AF” off, the radio will
not tune the strongest station auto-
matically and it will have to be found
manually using the tuner buttons.
To turn the “RDS-AF” function
on/off, select it with the right knob
21
(
fig. 1
), then press the knob to
confirm. When the function is on,
symbol “
3
” appears in the small
square near the wording.
The RDS channel name (if avail-
able) is still shown on the display.
If the radio is working in the AM
band, when the SRC key
12
(
fig. 1
) is
pressed, it moves the FM band on the
last station chosen.
