Traffic Information Function - Fiat Panda Owner's Handbook Manual

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 current station, the radio
activates the automatic search, during which "FM
Search" appears on the display (only for top-of-the-
range radios).
With the AF function deactivated, the remaining RDS
functions, such as the display of the station name, still
remain active.
The AF function can only be activated on FM bands.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION function

(traffic information)
Some stations on the FM band (FM1, FM2 and FMA)
can broadcast information about traffic conditions.
In this case the text "TA" appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to activate/deactivate the TA
function:
❒ press the MENU button briefly and select "Traffic
info";
❒ press the
or buttons to activate/deactivate the
function.
If the TA function has been activated, the "TA" icon
lights up on the display.
Note
If the TA function is activated with an audio source
other than Tuner (Radio) (CD, MP3, telephone or
Mute/Pause), the radio can carry out an automatic
search and therefore it is possible, 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:
❒ search only for RDS stations that broadcast in FM
and are enabled to broadcast traffic information;
❒ receive traffic information even when the CD
player is in operation;
❒ receive traffic information at a minimum preset
volume even with the radio volume off.
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.
