RADIO RECEPTION
Your audio system will be subject to certain phenomena that are not encountered by domestic systems. The reception of AM and FM signals is subject to interference which is caused by the nature and propagation of the signals, and is not a fault of your audio system.In AM mode, the reception may be affected when passing under power lines or bridges, or when travelling through tunnels.In FM mode, the reception may be affected by the distance from the station transmitter, the refl ecting of signals off obsta cles (mountains, hills, tower blocks) and radio blackspots (no coverage from the station transmitter).
SELECTING RADIO MODE
If the system is not already in radio mode, press button (C).
SELECTING A WAVEBAND AND MEMORY BANK
Press button (C), to go through the memory banks FM1, FM2 and FM3, for the FM waveband, and the memory bank MW/LW, for the AM waveband.
AUTOMATIC SEARCH (Automatic search mode activated)
Press either button (I) or (G) briefl y to tune into the following or preceding radio stations respectively, within the chosen wave band.By keeping either button (I) or (G) pressed down, the search mode will proceed through the waveband and will stop at the fi rst station it comes across once the button is released.The automatic search mode can also be operated using buttons (2) and (3) on the control at the steering wheel (P).It is possible to carry out a manual search to fi nd a known station if the automatic search is unable to tune into it (for example, due to very weak reception).
MANUAL SEARCH (Manual search mode activated)
To select the manual search mode, briefl y press the button “MAN” (H).The display indicates “MN” followed by the frequency.By keeping either button (I) or (G) pressed down, the search mode will proceed through the waveband and will stop on the frequency shown on the display when the button is released. The system will remain on the frequency displayed.The system will automatically return to the automatic search mode after several seconds, or by pressing the button “MAN” (H).
TUNING SENSITIVITY
Automatic searches can be carried out according to two levels of sensitivity.- to pick up the strongest radio signals, select the local tuning function “LO”.- to pick up signals which are weaker or further away, select the distance tuning function “DX”.The searches are fi rst carried out for the local sensitivity function “LO”, then the distance sensitivity function “DX”.To immediately initiate a distance sensitivity search “DX”, press either button (I) or (G) twice in a row.

MANUAL PRE-SETTING
Select the waveband and memory bank required using button (C).
Select a station using either the automatic or manual search modes.
Press and hold down one of buttons “1” to “6” (O) for more than two seconds.
The sound momentarily cuts off, then returns to its previous level to confi rm that it has memorised the station.
The audio system can memorise:
- 18 FM radio stations on 3 memory banks (FM1, FM2, FM3),
- 6 AM radio stations on 1 memory bank.
FM AUTOMATIC PRE-SETTING (AUTOSTORE FUNCTION)
It is possible to memorise the 6 strongest FM radio stations on the FM3 memory bank by holding down the button (C)for more than two seconds.
The display indicates “FM AST”.
- The 6 strongest radio stations are memorised, wiping the previous 6 strongest.
- Once the stations have been memorised, the fi rst pre-set station on the FM3 memory bank is automatic ally selected.
Note :
- If the traffi c information function has been activated (see RDS SYSTEM), the radio stations using RDS will be memo-rised fi rst. If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will retain the previous memorised stations.
- If the system is unable to fi nd 6 stations, the unfi lled memory slots will remain free.
RECALLING PRE-SET STATIONS
Press the button (C) briefl y to select the required waveband and memory bank.
Select the desired pre-set radio station by pressing the relevant button “1” to “6” (O).
If a RDS station is selected, the station’s frequency will appear on the display a few seconds before the station’s name.
Recalling a RDS station may lead to the system automatically re-tuning to the frequency on which the best reception can be obtained according to the area in which you are travelling (see RDS SYSTEM).
This operation can also be performed using button (1) on the control at the steering wheel (P).

USING THE RDS (RADIO DATA SYSTEM) FUNCTION ON FM WHAT IS THE RDS SYSTEM?
The RDS system provides access to various functions described in this chapter, the main one of which allows you to keep listening to the same radio station by automatically selecting the frequency on which the best reception can be obtained according to the area in which you are travelling.
SCANNING FOR RDS TRANSMISSIONS
The system searches for and retains the best possible reception for a selected radio station.
The system continually checks for any other frequencies on which the selected radio station is broadcast, and auto-matically chooses that offering the best reception.
Press the “RDS” button (J).
If the station you have selected does not broadcast on several frequencies in the area in which you are travelling, it is possible to deactivate the automatic RDS transmission scanning function.
Press the “RDS” button (J) again in order to deactivate the function.
Note :
- If the station received carries RDS with the RDS transmission scanning function, then the “RDS” indicator will come on with the “NAME” of the radio station shown on the display.
- If the station received carries RDS without the RDS transmission scanning function, then the “RDS” indicator will fl ash with the “NAME” of the radio station shown on the display.
- If the station received does not carry RDS, the “RDS” indicator will fl ash continually. The display will only show the station frequency.
- The “RDS” indicator will remain off if the RDS search function is deactivated. The display will either show the “NAME” of any stations carrying RDS, or the frequency of those without.
REGIONAL SEARCH MODE
Some national radio networks broadcast regional programmes at certain times of the day.
It is possible to either :
- search for the regional station only.
- search across the whole network in order to fi nd a different programme.
Press the button “RDS” (J), for more than two seconds in order to activate or deactivate the function.
Note :
- If the function has been activated, the system will remain tuned to one specifi c regional station.
- If the function has been deactivated, the system will select the regional station with the strongest signal.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION
Your system allows you to receive traffi c information broadcasts even while listening to another audio source.
Press the “TA” button (K).
While a traffi c information message is being broadcast :
- The radio or CD makes a pause.
Once the message has been broadcast, the system will revert to its original mode.
Note :
- When searching for or automatically pre-setting stations, with the “TA” function active, those stations which offer the traffi c information service will be found or memorised fi rst.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION VOLUME CONTROL
The traffi c information volume operates separately from that of the rest of the system, and can be adjusted independently.
Adjust by turning button (A) while a traffi c information message is being broadcast.
This new volume level is now memorised.
