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

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.

The radio is equipped with an anti-theft protection
system based on the exchange of information
between the radio and the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the car.
This system guarantees maximum safety and prevents
the secret code from being entered each time the
radio power supply is disconnected.
If the check has a positive outcome, the radio will
start to function, whereas if the comparison codes
are not the same or if the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) is replaced, the device will ask the
user to enter the secret code according to the
procedure described in the paragraph below.
Entering the secret code
When the radio is switched on, if the code is
requested, the display will show "Radio code" for
about 2 seconds followed by four dashes "----".
The code is made up of four numbers from 1 to 6,
each corresponding to one of the dashes.
To enter the first digit of the code, press the
corresponding button of the pre-selected stations
(from 1 to 6). Enter the other code digits in the same
way.
If the four digits are not entered within 20 seconds,
the display will show "Enter code----".Ifthis
occurs, it is not considered an incorrect code entry.
After entering the fourth digit (within 20 seconds),
the car radio will start to work.
252
SOUND-SYSTEM

If an incorrect code is entered, the radio will emit a
sound and the display shows the text "Radio
blocked/wait" to notify the user of the need to enter
the correct code.
Each time the user enters an incorrect code, the
waiting time will gradually increase (1 min, 2 min, 4
min, 8 min, 16 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 8 h, 16 h, 24
h) up to a maximum of 24 hours.
The waiting time will be shown on the display with
the text "Radio blocked/wait". After the text has
disappeared it is possible to start the code entering
procedure again.Car radio passport
