RDS FUNCTION
(Radio Data System)
The Radio Data System is a service
provided by radio stations to facilitate
FM waveband tuning.
The RDS allows - for enabled stations
- automatic tuning to the best fre-
quency of the selected station (alter-
native frequency function). This means
that you can listen to the station with-
out retuning when you change area.
Obviously, the station must be received
in the area that you are travelling in. Furthermore, the RDS displays the
station name (Program Service func-
tion, up to eight characters) and the
traffic announcement status: the sys-
tem will seek the best frequency of the
required station.
Switching on and off
Proceed as follows to use the RDS:
1) in Radio mode, press MEN (10).
The display will show the Radio menu
fig. 212)repeatedly press the button (14)
next to the RDS message to select the
required operations (VAr, FIX or
OFF) (the default setting is VAR) de-
scribed below:
FIXSwitches the Radio RDS func-
tion on. Since some stations
use RDS to broadcast adver-
tisements in addition to the
station name, you can decide
to display only the station
name.
VARBasic setting with which the
Radio RDS function is fully ac-
tive. Advertising will also be
shown on the display.
OFFSwitches the RDS function
off. Stations are tuned to by
indicating the frequency on
the display (example: 87.5).
Under this condition also the
TA function is off.

REG FUNCTION
At certain times of the day, some sta-
tions broadcast different local (re-

the function is not active). When the
function is on, the system will change
the frequency only when the current
frequency can no longer be received.PTY FUNCTION
(Program Type)
PTY is an RDS function. The stations
use PTY to broadcast the contents of
their programmes (POP, ROCK, etc.)
to help you make your choice.
The programme contents will appear
for a few seconds when the PTY func-
tion is on and a new station is tuned
to. The contents will not be displayed
if the station does not use the PTY
function.Switching on and off
Proceed as follows to switch the PTY
function on and off:
1) in Radio mode, press MEN (10)

TA FUNCTION
(Traffic Announcement)
This function can be switched on on-
ly in Radio mode in the FM waveband.
When listening to the CD source,
the CD changer (where fitted) or
when the navigation system is on and
the TA button (4) is pressed, the ra-
dio will switch to the FM waveband in
background and activate the TA func-
tion. This will not change the sound
source and the message “TA” will ap-
pear on the display.
When the TA function is on, you can
listen to traffic announcements even
when the CD player or CD changer
(where fitted) is on or in navigation
mode. The system will automatically
switch to the station broadcasting the
traffic announcement. At the end of
the announcement, the system will au-
tomatically return to the previous
source.
Press the TA button (4) to switch
the TA function off.IMPORTANT In Radio mode, with
the TA function on, a beep will be
heard if you leave the area where the
station broadcasting traffic announce-
ments can be received. In this case, an
automatic TP (Traffic Program) search
will be started.
Interrupting traffic
announcements
When the TA function is on, press
either TA (4) or MEN (10) or change
station to interrupt the traffic an-
nouncement. Alarm messages
When the PTY function is on, the
system can receive alarm messages
(example: weather conditions). In this
case, the warning message will appear
on the display and the announcement
will be made at the volume set for traf-
fic announcements.
To stop the alarm message, press ei-
ther MEN (10) or ESC (9).

(TRAFFIC MESSAGE
CHANNEL)
The TMC function is used to receive
traffic information which is then
analysed by the system in order to
“guide” the driver to the required pre-
set destination.
Since only some stations are enabled
to provide the TMC function, it is pos-
sible that traffic information in certain
areas cannot be received.
When the “Dynamic travel guide”
function is on (see “Dynamic travel
guide” in chapter “Navigation”), the
system will tune automatically to a
TMC station.
The “TMC” message will appear in
the lower row of the display when a
TMC station is selected.
Up to six TMC stations can be
stored in the FMC storage waveband
(see paragraph “Automatic storage of
TMCSTORE”).The display will show the last traffic
message. The upper line will show the
message number and the number of
stored messages.
Number 1always indicates the last
message.

6)after reading the required traffic
message, press T (8) or ESC (9) to
quit
IMPORTANT TMC messages re-
ferring to roads distant more than 100
km from the current car position, are
not processed by the TMC function.
