15Audio modeRDS* and TP* radio data services (Traffic
Programme)
Introduction
The RDS (Radio Data System) offers additional information in FM such as thevisualisation of the station name, automatic station tracking (AlternativeFrequencies), text emitted by radio (Radio Text) and traffic reports (TP).
Not all units have RDS, not all the FM stations offer this service and nor canthe infrastructure of all the countries permit it.
Without RDS, it is not possible to obtain radio data services.
To guarantee the best reception in places where RDS is available for the sta-tions tuned in, select the following system settings ⇒ page 38:

With RDS the station name can be displayed instead of the frequency⇒ Fig. 9.
Automatic station tracking
With the automatic station tracking the unit always switches to the frequen-cy that offers the best reception of the current radio station as the vehicletravels from one area to the next. In some units it is possible to suppressautomatic frequency changing (ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCY OFF)⇒ page 38.
Radio text
Some RDS-compatible stations also broadcast additional text informationknown as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text⇒ page 38.

16Audio modeTP traffic news station function (Traffic Programme)Fig. 10
Traffic news monitoring in Media mode.
The TP (Traffic Programme) function is not available for all versions.
When the radio version does not have the traffic news reception function,no action is taken when the TP button is pressed (TP is not displayed in theupper left of the screen).
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP ⇒ Fig. 9), traffic announce-ments will interrupt the current Audio mode.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if a traffic newsstation is available.
Some stations that do not broadcast their own traffic news support the TPfunction through a link to a traffic news station (EON). Traffic announce-ments broadcast by the linked traffic news station interrupt the current au-dio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
●
Press the unit button TP ⇒ Fig. 1

.
If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TPfunction, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TPSEEK).
While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active, TP is displayed atthe top left of the screen ⇒ Fig. 9.●
Press the TP unit button to switch the TP function off again.
Activated TP function and station selection
In FM mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a stationselected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TPfunction, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station searchusing the  SEEK /...  rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 1 ⇒ page 11.
During a station search with the  SEEK / ...  rocker switch or the scan func-tion (SCAN), the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
If you activate the TP function in areas where TP is not available, it will be-gin to search for traffic news stations but it will not be able find any. Thesearch will finish on the last station you were listening to. The TP functionremains switched on (display: No TP). We recommend you deactivate the TPfunction, otherwise in the next station search with the  SEEK / ...  rockerswitch no stations will be found.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will alwaysautomatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided thereception of said station is good. This procedure may take some time, de-pending on the situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selectedtraffic news station is displayed next to TP ⇒ Fig. 10.
In units with a DAB radio receiver, depending on the settings, the traffic an-nouncements from a DAB traffic news station can be played (DAB TRAFFICANNOUNCEMENT ON ⇒ page 38).
Reception of traffic announcements (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display: TP-INFO) will interrupt the activeAudio mode.

17Audio mode●If required, the radio is switched to the traffic news station (EON) for theduration of the traffic announcement.●
The Media mode will be paused and the volume will be adjusted to thepreset level.
●
During a traffic announcement, the traffic announcement volume settingcan be adjusted with the volume control . The adjusted setting will be ap-plied to subsequent announcements.
●
Interruption by a traffic announcement can be stopped by pressing theTP unit button. The TP function remains active and the next traffic an-nouncement will again interrupt the current Audio mode.

18Audio modeDAB* radio mode
Function only available in Europe
Introduction
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is adigital broadcasting standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
Operation
DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III(174 MHz - 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred to as “channels” and eachhas a channel name (e.g. 12 A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional servicesavailable in a station “ensemble”.
Using these additional services additional information can be sent to theradio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).
DAB is currently not available in all areas. In areas without DAB,  is dis-played in DAB radio mode.
Settings can be made to display and play messages, to browse stations andto browse traffic news stations (TP function) ⇒ page 38.
