Tra c information
In the reception area "EUROPE", an FM station can
identify tra c reports by means of an RDS signal.
If priority for tra c reports is switched on, a traf-
 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
tra c jam symbol (
). "TRAFFIC" is displayed
during a switched-through tra 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 "TRAF").
Notes:
• The volume is increased for the duration
of the switched-through tra c announce-
ment. You can adjust the minimum volume

"User settings", section "Making settings
in the "VOLUME" menu", menu item "TA
VOL").

Radio mode
RDS
Many FM stations broadcast an RDS (Radio Data
System) signal in addition to their programme
in the reception area "EUROPE" that allows the
following additional functions:
• The station name is shown on the display.
• The car sound system recognises tra c an-
nouncements and news broadcasts and can
automatically switch them through in other
operating modes (e. g. in CD mode).
• Alternate frequency: If RDS is activated, the car
sound system automatically selects the best
receivable frequency for the station that is cur-
rently set.
• Regional: At certain times, some radio sta-
tions divide their programme into regional
programmes providing di erent content. If
the REGIONAL function is activated, the car
sound system changes only to those alternate
frequencies on which the same regional pro-
gramme is being broadcast.
The functions RDS and REGIONAL are activated
and deactivated in the user menu (see the chap-
ter "User settings", section "Making settings in the
"TUNER" menu", menu items "RDS" and "REG").
Note:
If you adjust a di erent reception area than
"EUROPE", RDS is automatically switched o .
If you want to use radio stations with RDS
features in your region, switch on RDS in the
user menu.
