ENTERTAINMENT AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS

86-8-38 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

It is also possible to search manually for stations and has two levels of sensitivity attached to it. These are: 

Search run for weaker stations
Search run for more powerful stations.

If no appropriate stations are found in the search, a second search run is made which includes the weaker stations.

The process for selecting this type of search is as follows:

Turn right-hand rotary control until "II Search sensitive" is highlighted
Press to confirm your selection
Turn the right-hand rotary control until you hear the desired station.

It should be noted that if the inputs are not made within eight seconds, the procedure will have to be repeated. 

Traffic Message Channel
The radio tunes itself in the background to the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) station with the strongest signal. This 
is turned on in the navigation system. If it is desired to have a particular TP station in the background TMC will have 
to be deactivated in the navigation system. If RDS-TMC has been activated in the navigation system, only TP stations 
that also broadcast TMC traffic information can be activated in the background.

Programming Pre-set Radio Stations
The MFD can memorise up to 24 radio stations: 6 FM and 18 AM stations. The AM reception band is subdivided into 
separate MW, SW and LW memory ranges, to permit greater flexibility in storing stations. The process for tuning in 
and storing a radio station to a preset memory is as follows:

Select the waveband (FM, MW, SW and LW)
Select the station (search for the correct one as described)
Hold the desired memory key pressed in until the station is heard again after a brief interruption.

If the chosen location key is already occupied by a stored station, the station last stored is faded up briefly. If the key 
is released immediately, the process will be halted and the previously memorised station will not be lost. However if 
the key is held in the original tuned radio station will be lost and its place will be taken by the new radio station 
selection.

To access a preset station first ensure the waveband is correct (FM, MW, SW and LW) and then press the appropriate 
number key (1–6).

Regional Stations
On FM, certain stations may broadcast regional stations either all day or at certain times of day only. If it is desired to 
receive these stations, the regional function must be switched on as follows:

Press the “info” button
Turn right-hand rotary control until "RDS" is highlighted
Turn until "Region On/Off" is highlighted
Press the rotary controller to activate/deactivate the regional function.

The phrase "REG" appears on the screen. If this function is selected this function and the transmitter switches to a 
regional station, this option will automatically be displayed on the monitor for selection.

Traffic Report Stations
It is possible to select a radio station with traffic reports and keep it in the background, so that it interrupts the radio 
station being listened to when a traffic report is broadcast. This is achieved as follows:

Press the “info” button and hold in until "Selected TP station" is displayed
Turn right hand rotary controller until the desired traffic programme station is highlighted
Press the right hand rotary controller to confirm your selection.

To cancel a background station:

Press the “info” button and hold in until "Selected TP station" is displayed
Turn right hand rotary controller until "Delete TP-Stat" is displayed, push to select
Press the right hand rotary controller to confirm your selection.

 The radio then broadcasts traffic reports even if the station you have selected does not do so. While traffic reports 
are being received, TV reception, radio reception, cassette and CD play are interrupted. The speech output of the 
navigation system, however, remains active.
