Radio

Selecting a station

Radio reception may be affected by
the use of electrical equipment not
approved by the Brand, such as a USB
charger connected to the 12V socket.
The exterior environment (hills,
buildings, tunnel, car park, below
ground...) may prevent reception,
even in RDS station tracking mode.
This phenomenon is normal in the
propagation of radio waves and is in no
way indicative of a fault with the audio
system.

Move the cursor for a manual search
for frequencies up or down.

Select a radio station or frequency.

Activate/ Deactivate RDS

RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by automatic
retuning to alternative frequencies.
However, in certain conditions, coverage
of an RDS station may not be assured
throughout the entire country as radio
stations do not cover 100 % of the
territory. This explains the loss of
reception of the station during a journey.

The "Radio Text" function allows
information transmitted by the radio
station and related to the station or the
song playing to be displayed.

Display text information

Play TA messages

The TA (Traffic Announcement)
function gives priority to TAalert
messages. To operate, this function
needs good reception of a radio station
that carries this type of message. While
traffic information is being broadcast,
the current media is automatically
interrupted so that the TA message can
be heard. Normal play of the media
previously playing is resumed at the
end of the message.

FM-DAB Follow-up

Terrestrial Digital Radio

"DAB" does not cover 100% of the
territory.
When the digital radio signal is poor,
the "FM-DAB Follow-up" allows you to
continue listening to the same station,
by automatically switching to the
corresponding "FM" analogue station
(if there is one).

If the "FM-DAB Follow-up" is activated,
there is a difference of a few seconds
when the system switches to "FM"
analogue radio with sometimes a
variation in volume.
Once the digital signal is restored, the
system automatically changes back to
"DAB".

Digital radio provides higher quality
reception.
The different multiplexes offer a
choice of radio stations arranged in
alphabetical order.

If the "DAB" station being listened
to is not available on "FM", or if the
"FM-DAB Follow-up" is not activated,
the sound will cut out while the digital
signal is too weak.
