AF SWITCHING function
(alternative frequency search)
The radio can operate in two different
modes in the RDS system:
❒“AF Switching On”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies activated (the letters
“AF” appear on the display);
❒“AF Switching Off”: search for alterna-
tive frequencies not activated.
Proceed as follows to switch the function
on/off:
❒press the MENU button and select “AF
Switching On”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the
function on/off.
With the function activated, the radio au-
tomatically tunes into the station with the
strongest signal broadcasting the same
program. While driving, you can contin-
ue to listen to the same station 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 on the display.
If the AF function has been activated and
the radio is not able to receive the tuned
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 re-
maining 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 transmit information about
traffic conditions. In this case the letters
“TA” will appear on the display.
Proceed as follows to switch the TA func-
tion on/off:
❒press the MENU button and select
“Traffic Info”;
❒press the ¯/ ˙buttons to turn the
function on/off.
If the TA function is activated, “TA” will
light up on the display.
IMPORTANT If the TA function is acti-
vated 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 pos-
sible, when reactivating the Tuner (Radio)
source, that the frequency tuned into will
be different from the one set previously.
With the TA function, it is possible to:
❒search only for RDS stations that
broadcast on the FM band, which are
enabled to transmit traffic information;
❒receive traffic information even if the
CD player is on;
❒receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume zeroed.

IMPORTANT In some countries there are
radio stations that do not broadcast traf-
fic information even with the TP function
activated (“TP” in the display).
If the radio is working on the AM band,
when the TA function is activated it will
switch to the last station tuned into on the
FM1 band.
The volume at which the traffic update is
transmitted depends on the reception vol-
ume:
❒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 a traffic up-
date, the level will not be shown on the
display; the new level will only be main-
tained during the update.
The display will show the words TRAFFIC
INFORMATION whilst a traffic update is
being received.
The TA function can be interrupted by
pressing any button on the car radio.REGIONAL MODE function
(reception of regional broadcasts)
Some national broadcasters will transmit
regional programs at certain times of the
day (that vary from region to region). This
function makes it possible to tune into lo-
cal (regional) broadcasters automatically
(see EON function paragraph).
If you want the radio to automatically tune
into the regional stations being broadcast
on the network selected, the function
must be activated.
To turn the function on/off, use the but-
tons¯or ˙.
The current status of the function will ap-
pear 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.
WARNING 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 alter-
native frequency.MP3 DISPLAY FUNCTION
(Compact Disc MP3 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 a CD
MP3 is inserted: in this case “MP3 Display”
will appear on the display.
To change the function, use the ¯or ˙
buttons.
The following settings are available:

able);
