From the "Radio settings" menu 5, you can access the following radio function settings:
  • "TA/I-Traffic (depending on equipment)";
  • « FM » ;
  • "DAB" (depending on equipment);
  • "i-Announcement" (depending on equipment and country).

"TA/I-Traffic" (traffic information)

(depending on equipment)
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 and DAB 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.

« FM »

From the settings, you can activate or deactivate the following elements:
  • « Alternative Frequency (AF) » ;
  • « Region ».
« Alternative Frequency (AF) »
The frequency of an "FM" radio station may change depending on the geographical area.
Activate the Alternative Frequency (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.
« Region »
When "Region" 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 radio stations 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;
  • "Region" deactivated: the system will switch to the transmitter for the new region, even if the broadcast program is different.

« DAB »

(depending on equipment)
From the settings, you can activate or deactivate the following elements:
  • « Switching (DAB ↔ FM) » ;
  • "Auto-scrolling image display" (depending on equipment).
« Switching (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.
"Auto-scrolling image display"
When this feature is enabled and the current station DAB allows it, an image slideshow scrolls across the screen in full screen playback mode.
Note: This function is only available in a stationary vehicle, by pressing the logo of the radio being played.

« i-Announcement »

(depending on equipment and country)
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 for the following topics:
  • "Emergency";
  • "Incident";
  • "Weather";
  • "News";
  • "Event";
  • "Sport";
