The RDS (Radio Data System) offers addition-
al information in FM such as the displaying of
the station name, automatic station tracking
(AF), text broadcast by radio (Radio Text››› 
Fig. 5 ), traffic reports (TP) and programme
type (P T
Y).
Not all units have RDS, nor do all FM stations
offer this service.
Without RDS  it is not possible to obtain radio
data services. Note
● The broadcasting companies are responsi-
ble for the content broadcast.
● Due to matters of infrastructure, RDS func-
tions may be limited in certain countries, and
you may not be able to use traffic reports, au-
tomatic station tracking (AF) or programme
types (PTY).
● In some cases the name of the station is
too long. This text may be blocked/unblocked
by pressing on the station name for 3 sec-
onds. Two icons will appear (wave + locked)
halfway up the right of the screen. Station name and automatic station
tracking
When the RDS is available, you can view the
names of the stations providing this service
in the 
RADIO

››  Fig. 12.
Some stations that do not have their own
traffic news support the TP function by broad-
casting traffic reports from other stations
(EON).
The TP function is not available in certain
countries. In this case, “TP” will not appear
on screen and the button will be deactivated.
Switching the TP function on and off ● In the menu Setup (FM, AM), press the func-
tion button  Traffic Program TP  to activate  or
deactivate   this function  ››› page 13.
If the station you are listening to at that time
does not  have a TP function, the crossed-out
TP  will be displayed halfway up the left of the
s c
reen.
Active TP function and station selection
While the traffic news monitoring is opera-
tive, in audio mode TP will be displayed half- way up the screen on the left  ››› Fig. 11. In
this
 case, the traffic reports of the current
station or of the station that broadcasts the
corresponding traffic information will be
played.
In 
FM mode, the station tuned in must have
the TP function. If, after activating the TP
function, you manually select or use the stor-
ed station buttons to select a station that does not
 have the TP function, it will not
check if there are traffic reports (display:  TP
crossed out).
When the traffic report station that is tuned
in stops being received,  TP will also be dis-
pl
ayed crossed out, and you must search for
a station manually.
During operation in 
AM or Media mode, a
traffic report station is always set automati-
cally in the background, provided there is
one that can be tuned in. Depending on your
location, this process can take some time.
Reception of a traffic report An incoming traffic report will interrupt the
active audio mode.
During the broadcast of the traffic report a
pop-up window will appear and, if necessary,
the radio will change to the station of the traf-
fic report (EON) for the duration of the broad-
cast.
Media mode is interrupted and the volume is
adjusted according to the preset volume
