Using the RDS (radio data system) function on FM
The majority of FM radio stations use the RDS system. The radio in your vehicle has this system.The RDS system enables these stations to transmit non-audible data in addition to the broadcasting of their programmes. The data provides access to various functions described in this chapter, such as: display of the station name, intermittent traffi c information fl ashes or automatic scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regardless of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best possible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio station is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (if the station broadcasts on more than one transmitter or frequency).

The RDS functions can be accessed via the following two menus:- Main menu (press button O).
- AUDIO menu (press button L).

- The "RDS" on the display is barred if the station received uses the RDS system without frequency search.
If your RDS function is deactivated, the "RDS" on the display will be absent in all cases.The display will indicate the "NAME" for the stations that use the RDS system and the frequency for stations that do not use it.

compatible. It allows you to connect a mobile telephone for "hands free" use and even to use its directory.
It permits you to twin up to four telephones, to be able then to connect whichever one you choose.The Bluetooth® functions available and the content of the display are dependent on the type of mobile telephone, its settings and the type of contract you have. For this reason it is advisable to make enquiries with your telephone provider.Prior to any operation:- Your display should be lit up (key in position M).
- Your telephone’s Bluetooth®
system must be activated.
Twinning a telephone
Twinning a telephone consists of having it recognised by the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. This then permits an instantaneous connection.Twinning can only be performed with ignition switched on, display illuminated, engine stopped. No other telephone should be connected.- The twinning must be performed with the telephone and its Bluetooth® system activated.®
Note:
Refer to the user instructions to familiarise yourself with the features of twinning.- The telephone detects the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle. ®
"C4" displays on your telephone.
You should then select "C4" on your telephone controls. Next you must choose whether or not to accept this twinning then select, on screen Cusing J, M or 8, one of the 4memories. Validate with a press on button L or 7.

This entry may be demanded earlier in the twinning sequence.The telephone is now twinned to your Bluetooth® system. For ®
immediate access to the Bluetooth®
functions, it may be necessary to make a connection (see following page "Confi guration: Connecting a twinned mobile telephone").Once the twinning is fi nished, you will be able to connect your telephone via the "Main menu".
Connecting a twinned telephone
Each time you enter the vehicle, after switching on the audio system, your telephone is detected automatically. If more than one telephone is present, the last telephone to have been connected is the fi rst to be recognised.Note:Disconnections may occur. You may have to make a new connection (see following page, "Confi guration: Connecting a twinned mobile telephone").Remarks:- In the event of a problem, it is recommended to switch your telephone off and then on again.- If you switch off your telephone within the fi eld of reception of the Bluetooth® system on your vehicle, the next connection will not be automatic. To restore automatic connection, you will have to connect your telephone manually (see following page, "Confi guration: Connecting a twinned mobile telephone").- If you are already in telephone communication when the audio system is turned on, the latter detects the telephone.- To avoid interference, you are advised not to place your mobile telephone close to your radio.
