The TP function is an RDS radio data service.
RDS is not available in all areas, and depending on the country and equip-
ment, it may be deactivated ⇒ page 30.
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP), traffic announcements will
interrupt the current Audio mode.
On the AM frequency band, traffic news monitoring is not possible.

Monitoring traffic news stations using the TP function

active.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if the TP station
is available.
Some stations that do not have their own traffic news support the TP func-
tion by broadcasting traffic announcements from other stations (EON). Traf-
fic announcements broadcast by the linked traffic stations interrupt the cur-
rent audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off

If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TP
function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK).
● Press the
TP
unit button to switch the TP function off again.
When in areas without TP coverage the TP function is activated, and search
is begun for a traffic news station, ending in the failure to find a station. The
search then returns to the station to which it was originally tuned. The TP
function will remain on (display: No TP). It is necessary to deactivate the TP
function, otherwise no stations will be found in the subsequent search us-
ing the arrow buttons.
TP function activated
While traffic news monitoring is switched on and enabled, TP is displayed
⇒

In radio mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a sta-
tion selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the
TP function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,
NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station search
using the arrow buttons
