Traffi c information
In the reception area "EUROPE", an FM station can
identify traffi c reports by means of an RDS signal.
If priority for traffi c reports is switched on, a traf-
fi c report is automatically switched through, even
if the car sound system is currently not in radio
mode.
If priority is switched on, the display shows the
symbol. "TRAFFIC" is displayed during a
switched-through traffi c announcement.
The priority is activated and deactivated in the
user menu (see the chapter "User settings", sec-
tion "Making settings in the "TUNER" menu", menu
item "TA").

switched on, the car sound system automati-

frequencies on which the same regional pro-
gramme is being broadcast.
The functions RDS, AF and REGIONAL are acti-
vated and deactivated in the user menu (see the
chapter "User settings", section "Making settings
