SOUND-SYSTEM

AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different modes in the
RDS system:
❒"AF Switching On": search for alternative
frequencies active (the letters "AF" appear on the
display);
❒"AF Switching Off": search for alternative
frequencies not active.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the
function:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF Switching
On”;
❒press the
or
buttons to activate/deactivate the
function.
With the function activated, the radio automatically
tunes into the station with the strongest signal
broadcasting the same programme. While driving, the
same station can be continuously listened to without
having to change the frequency when you change
zones.
Obviously, it must be possible to receive the station
that you are listening to in the area you are driving
through.
If the AF function is activated, "AF" will light up in the
display.If the AF function has been activated and the radio is
not able to receive the current station, the radio
activates the automatic search, during which "FM
Search" appears on the display (only for top-of-the-
range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining RDS
functions, such as the display of the station name, still
remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM bands.
TRAFFIC INFORMATION function
(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMA)
can broadcast information about traffic conditions.
In this case the text "TA" appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒press the MENU button briefly and select “Traffic
info”;
❒press the
or
buttons to activate/deactivate the
function.
If the TA function has been activated, the “TA” icon
lights up on the display.
247
SOUND-SYSTEM

Note
If the TA function is activated with an audio source
other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, telephone or
Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an automatic
search and therefore it is possible, when reactivating
the Tuner (Radio) source, that the frequency tuned
into is different from the one previously set.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that broadcast in FM
and are enabled to broadcast traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even when the CD
player is in operation;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.Note
In some countries there are radio stations that, even
with the TP function activated, do not transmit traffic
information (the icon "TP" appears on the display).
If the radio is tuned to a station in the AM band,
when TA is activated it will tune to the last selected
station in the FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic news is transmitted
depends on the listening volume:
❒listening volume below 5: traffic news volume 5
(fixed value);
❒listening volume above 5: traffic news volume equal
to listening volume +1.
If the volume is changed during traffic news, the level
will not be shown on the display; the new level will
only be maintained during the news.
While traffic information is being received, “TRAFFIC
INFORMATION” will appear on the display.
The TA function can be interrupted by pressing any
button on the car radio.

REGIONAL MODE function
(regional transmission reception)
Some national broadcasters will transmit regional
programmes at certain times of the day (that vary
from region to region).
This function makes it possible to tune into local
(regional) broadcasters automatically (see "EON
function" paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune into the
regional stations being broadcast on the selected
network, the function must be activated.
To activate/deactivate the function use the
or
buttons.
The current status of the function appears on the
display:
❒"Regional On": function activated;
❒"Regional Off": function deactivated.
If the function is deactivated and you have tuned into
a regional station working in a given area and you
enter a different area, then the regional station
received in the new area will be broadcast.
Note
If the AF and REG functions are on at the same time,
once a border between two regions is crossed, the
radio may not switch correctly to a valid alternative
frequency.MP3 DISPLAY function
(MP3 CD data display)
This function makes it possible to select the
information shown by the display when listening to a
CD containing MP3 tracks.
The function can only be selected if an MP3 CD is
inserted: in this case "MP3 Display" will appear on the
display.
To change the function, use the

on.
The display shows the function status:
❒“Radio on vol – Limit on”: when the radio is
switched on the volume level will be: – if the
volume level is equal to or higher than the
maximum value, the radio will come on at the
maximum volume;
– if the volume level is between the minimum and
maximum values, the radio will come on at the same
volume as before it was switched off
– if the volume level is equal to or lower than the
minimum value, the radio will come on at the
minimum volume.
❒"Radio on vol – Limit off": the radio will come on
