Press the " OPTIONS " button to go to the secondary page.
FM-DAB Follow-up Terrestrial Digital Radio
"DAB" does not cover 100% of the te r r i to r y. When the digital radio signal is poor, the "FM-DAB Follow-up" allows you to continue listening to the same station, by automatically switching to the corresponding "FM" analogue station (if there is one).
If the "FM-DAB Follow-up" is activated, there is a difference of a few seconds when the system switches to "FM" analogue radio with sometimes a variation in volume. Once the digital signal is restored, the system automatically changes back to " D A B " .
Digital radio provides higher quality reception. The different multiplexes offer a choice of radio stations arranged in
alphabetical order.
If the "DAB" station being listened to is not available on "FM", or if the "FM-DAB Follow-up" is not activated, the sound will cut out while the digital signal is too weak.
Activate / Deactivate " FM- DAB Follow-up ".
Press Radio Media to display the primary page.
Press the " OPTIONS " button to go to the secondary page.
Press " Band " to select " DAB band ".
Press in the grey zone to confirm. Press in the grey zone to confirm.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The quality of reception of the radio station listened to gradually deteriorates or the stored stations do not function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the upper band to enable the system to check whether there is a more power ful transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a franchised dealer.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of stations received.
The station is not received or its name has changed in the list. Press the round arrow on the "List" tab of the "Radio" page.
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the title of the song for example). The system interprets this information as the name of the station. The name of the radio station changes.

RDS
Short procedure
Long procedure
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks, ...) may block reception, including in RDS mode. This is a normal effect of the way in which radio waves are transmitted and does not indicate any failure of the audio system. Press the " MENU " button.
Select " Audio functions ".
Press OK .
Select the " FM waveband preferences " function.
Press OK .
Select " RDS ".
Press OK , RDS is displayed in the screen.
In " Radio " mode, press the OK button to activate or deactivate RDS directly.
RDS, if activated, enables you to continue listening to the same station by automatic retuning to alternative frequencies. However, in certain conditions, coverage of an RDS station may not be assured throughout the country as radio stations do not cover 100 % of the territory. This explains the loss of reception of a station that can occur during a journey.
If RDS is not available, the RDS symbol appears barred in the screen.

Receiving TA messages
Press the TA button to activate or deactivate traffic messages.
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives priority to TA alert messages. To operate, this function needs good reception of a radio station transmitting this type of message.
When a traffic report is transmitted, the current audio source (Radio, CD, ...) is interrupted automatically to play the TA message. Normal playback of the audio source resumes at the end of the transmission of the message.
Take care when increasing the volume while listening to TA messages. The volume may prove too high on return to the original audio source.
Select " RadioText (TXT) display " and confirm OK to save.
Select or deselect categories.
With the radio displayed on the screen, press OK to display the contextual menu.
Make a long press on this button to display the list of categories.

The INFO function gives priority to TA traffic announcements. To be active, this function needs good reception of a radio station that transmits this type of message. When a message is transmitted, the current audio source (Radio, CD, USB, ...) is interrupted automatically to receive the INFO message. Normal play resumes at the end of the message transmission.
Radio text is information transmitted by the radio station related to the current programme or song.
