“RDS”
The “Radio Data System” (RDS)
function on the FM waveband permits:
- access to the displaying of information, such as the name of the station,
- tuning to the same station while travelling through different regions,
- temporary tuning to traffi c information announcements.
Most FM stations use the RDS. These
stations transmit non-audible data in
addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way
allows you access to various functions,
mainly displaying of the name of the
station, automatic station following or
temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements.
The RDS allows you to continue listening
to the same station by means of the
alternative frequency following. However, in
certain conditions, this RDS frequency
following cannot be provided throughout
the country. Radio stations do not cover
the whole country, which explains the
loss of reception of the station during
a journey. Alternative frequencies “AF”
Your radio automatically checks and
selects the best frequency for the radio
station to which it is tuned (if the station
broadcasts on several transmitters or
frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the temporary loss of reception
during a journey.
If the station to which you are listen-
ing does not have several frequencies
in the region in which you are currently
located, you can deactivate the alterna-
tive frequency following.
Traffic information “TP”
The “Traffi c Program” (TP) function
permits automatic and temporary
switching to an FM station broadcasting
traffi c information.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were
listening to initially.
Regional following mode “REG”
Some stations are organised in a net-
work.
In different regions, they broadcast dif-
ferent or shared programmes depend-
ing on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibil- ity that you will be listening to a dif-
ferent programme.
The “AF”, “REG” and “TP”
functions can be deacti-
vated or activated via the
“TUNE” button functions set-
ting mode. Press the “TP” button.
“TP” appears on the display.
If the station is compatible,
“RDS” also appears.
If the radio detects traffi c information,
“TRAF INF” appears on the display,
followed by the frequency of the
broadcasting station, then its name.
The volume is different from that of the
previous source.
Following the broadcasting of the traffi c
information, the volume returns to that
of the source prior to the interruption.
When “TP” appears on the display,
the radio stops solely at RDS stations
broadcasting traffi c information.
On long distance journeys, when
the stored station becomes weak,
the radio searches fi rst for another
frequency for the same station (AF).
Then, if this fails, it searches for a
frequency broadcasting the regional
programme (REG). If this also fails,
the radio returns to the stored sta-
tion.

“ALERT”
An emergency broadcast automatically
and temporarily interrupts the FM station
or the source that you are listening to.
