Menu “Radio settings” 4

From the “Radio settings” 4 menu, you can access the following radio function settings:

- “FM”;

- “DAB” (depending on equipment);

- “Notifications” (depending on equipment).

FM

From the settings, you can activate or deactivate the following elements:

- “AF”;

- “AM” (depending on equipment);

- “Region”;

- “TA/I-Traffic”.

AF

The frequency of an “FM” radio station may change depending on the geographical area.

Activate the AF function to continue listening to the same radio station whilst changing geographical area.

The audio system will automatically track frequency changes without interruption.

Note: not all radio stations offer this possibility.

Poor reception can sometimes cause erratic and annoying changes in frequency. In this case you should deactivate the automatic frequency retuning.

AM (depending on equipment)

You can activate/deactivate the wavelength display AM.

“Region”

When the “Region” mode is activated, if the signal level drops, the radio will switch to a new frequency operating as a relay for the station you were listening to previously.

Note:

- stations in the same area sometimes broadcast different programmes or use different radio station names.

- some radios broadcast on regional frequencies. In this case:

- with “Region” activated: the system will not switch to the transmitter for the new region, but the system will switch normally between the transmitters of the initial region;

- With “Region” disabled: the system will switch to the transmitter for the new region, even if the broadcast programme is different.

TA/I-Traffic” (traffic information)

When this function is activated, your audio system enables traffic bulletins to be received (depending on the country) if they are broadcast on certain FM radio stations.

You must then select the frequency of the station that is transmitting traffic information. If you are listening to another source (USB, Bluetooth®), it will be automatically interrupted whenever traffic information is received.

DAB

(depending on equipment)

From the settings, you can activate/deactivate “Simulcast/handover (DAB -> FM)”.

When this function is activated, if the reception of the DAB station currently playing is poor, the radio system switches automatically to an equivalent FM station (if available).

The audio system will automatically return to the digital DAB station as soon as reception is available.

Note: this function is only available if the station has FM and DAB versions.

“Announcements”

(depending on equipment)

When this function is activated, it is possible to automatically listen to news as soon as it is broadcast by certain “DAB” radio stations.

If you then select the other sources, when a broadcast of the selected programme type is made, it will interrupt the other sources.

From the settings, you can activate/deactivate announcements from the following topics:

- “Emergency”;

- “Incident”;

- “Traffic information”;

- “Weather”;

- “News”;

- “Event”;

- “Sport”;

- “Miscellaneous”.

For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments while the vehicle is stationary.

“Audio settings” 6

From the 6 icon, you can adjust the audio settings.

For further information on the available settings, see the section on “Audio settings”.

For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments while the vehicle is stationary.
