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, inter-mittent traffi c information fl ashes or automatic scanning of stations. This enables you to continue listening to your chosen radio station, regard-less of the different frequencies it uses in the regions through which you are travelling.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best pos-sible reception by continuously looking for any other frequencies on which the selected radio sta-tion is broadcast, automatically choosing the frequency offering the best reception (providing the station broadcasts on more than one transmitter or frequency).
Activation/deactivation of the RDS functions
The RDS functions can be accessed via the following two menus :
- Main menu (press button O).
- Audio menu (press button L).
To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on multifunction screen C :
1. Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO icon using buttons J or M.
3. Confi rm your choice with a press on button L.
4. Select the sub-menu for the FM waveband, via buttons Jor M. Confi rm your choice with a press on button L.
5. Select scanning for RDS sta-tions, via buttons J or M.
6. Validate your choice with a press on button L.
7. Using control L, select/dese-lect to activate/deactivate the function.
8. Validate your choice by select-ing “OK” on the display.
To activate/deactivate the RDS functions on multifunction screen A :
1. Press button O.
2. Select the AUDIO-CD icon via buttons J or M.
3. Select scanning for RDS sta-tions, via buttons J or M. The system tells you the status (ac-tive or inactive) of the function.
4. Modify this status via buttons K or N.
5. Then please wait for the dis-play to disappear.
Note :
If the RDS function is active :
The “RDS” on the display will light up provided the station being re-ceived uses the RDS system with scanning of frequencies.
The “RDS” on the display is barred if the station received uses the RDS system without frequency search.
If your RDS function is deactiva-ted, 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.

Regional search mode
Some stations, when they are or-ganised in networks, broadcast regional programmes at certain times of day, and national pro-grammes at other times.
It is possible to search :
- Either for a regional station only.
- Or across the whole network in order to fi nd a different programme.
To activate/deactivate this func-tion, proceed as for Scanning of RDS stations.
Note :
When this mode is activated, the system will remain tuned to one specifi c regional station.
TA traffi c information (traffi c announcements)
Some stations allow broadcasting, only in FM, of these messages thanks to the “TA” function.
You can activate the “TA” func-tion by pressing on button I. This allows you, even though you are listening to another audio source or to a radio programme not itself providing traffi c messages, to re-ceive traffi c information fl ashes from an FM station which broad-casts them.
While the messages are being broadcast the original source is paused and when the messages have ended your radio will auto-matically revert to the music pro-gramme you were listening to.
Notes :
- You have to be in FM wave band.
- The station being listened to should indicate via the RDS system that it broadcasts traffi c information.
- Stations organised in a network (EON) have regional transmitters that send their own programmes: while you are listening to one of these stations the system will switch automatically to a station on the network that is broadcast-ing traffi c information.
- You can stop listening to a mes-sage by pressing button I.
Sound volume adjustment for traffi c information
The sound volume for traffi c infor-mation operates separately from that for the rest of the system, and can be adjusted independently.
Rotate button A while a traffi c information message is being broadcast.
This volume adjustment is memo-rised.
Selecting a programme type
Certain stations offer the possibi-lity of listening to a particular pro-gramme type, selected from a list (PTY).
Press for more than two seconds on button I.
Press on buttons J or M to scroll through and select the programme type you prefer, then press on but-ton L to validate your choice.
Searching for a station broadcasting this programme type
When you have chosen a pro-gramme type, the list of corres-ponding stations appears on the display, press on buttons J or M to scroll down and select the station you want, then press on button Lto validate your choice.
Quitting pty mode
To quit “PTY” mode, select the function to deactivate “PTY” in the list of the different programme types.
Radio text via contextual menu
This function allows to view the information broadcast by the sta-tion, concerning the programme you are currently listening to.
