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 activated (the letters "AF" appear
on the display);

frequencies not activated.

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 tuned station, the
radio activates the automatic search, during which

name, still remain active.

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:

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.
