TRAFFIC INFORMATION
function (traffic announcements)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2
and FMA) can transmit information about
traffic conditions. The letters "TA" will ap-
pear in the display in this case.
Proceed as follows to switch the TA function
on/off:
❒ press the MENU button and select "Traf-
fic Info";
❒ briefly 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 activated
with an audio source other than Tuner (Ra-
dio) (CD, MP3, Telephone or Mute/Pause),
the radio can carry out an automatic search
and therefore the frequency tuned into may
be different from the one set previously
when selecting the Tuner (Radio) source
again.
With the TA function:
❒ search only for RDS stations that trans-
mit on the FM band, which are enabled
to transmit traffic information;
❒ receive traffic information even if the CD
player/CD Changer function is on;
❒ receive traffic information at a minimum
preset volume even with the radio vol-
ume off.
IMPORTANT In some countries there are ra-
dio stations that do not broadcast traffic in-
formation even with the TA function acti-
vated ("TA" 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 trans-
mitted 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 a traffic up-
date, the level will not be shown on the dis-
play; the new level will only be maintained
during the update.
While traffic information is being received,
"TRAFFIC INFORMATION" will appear on the
display.
The TA function can be interrupted by press-
ing any button on the car radio.
