Your NaviDrive may be subject to

phenomena which you do not encounꢁ

ter with the installation you have at

home.

Reception in AM as in FM is affected

by various kinds of interference that

have nothing to do with the quality

of your equipment but are due to the

nature of the signals and the way they

are sent out.

A list of the stations available locally is

updated automatically every 10 minutes. The

stations are graded alphabetically and then

by frequency in ascending order.

ꢀ Press on button LIST to access the list of

stations available.

In Fm, keep button BAND pressed for more

than 2 seconds to start the automatic memo-

risation function (Autostore).

The 6 strongest transmitters are memorised

in the Fmast memory bank. They replace the

6 previously memorised.

ꢀ Rotate the control to choose a station.

ꢀ Press on the control to validate.

Note:

If you have activated the “TA” function (trafﬁc

information), the transmitters offering this

service are memorised ﬁrst.

In AM, you may notice disturbance

when passing under high tension

cables or bridges, or in tunnels.

In FM, distance from the transmitter,

deﬂecting of the signal by obstacles

(mountains, hills, high buildings,

etc.), or blind spots (no coverage by

transmitters) may cause interference

with reception.

Keep button LIST pressed to

update the list of stations availꢁ

able.

STATION SEARCH

IV

The RDS (Radio Data System) function

allows you:

ꢀ to listen to the same station even though

you are travelling through different regions

(on condition that the transmitters for this

station cover the area being travelled

through),

ꢀ

to listen to trafﬁc announcement ﬂashes

on a temporary basis

ꢀ to have the station name displayed, etc.

Certain stations are organised in a net-

work.

In the various regions, they transmit pro-

grammes that are sometimes different,

sometimes common.

You can do a search:

ꢀ On a regional station only

Your NaviDrive automatically checks and

selects the best frequency for the radio sta-

tion captured (provided the station transmits

on more than one frequency).

The frequency of a radio station extends

to around 50 km. Loss of reception during

a journey is explained by the change from

one frequency to another.

If the station you have selected does not

broadcast on different frequencies in the

areas in which you are travelling, it is possible

to deactivate the automatic RDS transmission

scanning function.

ꢀ On the entire network, with the possibility

of hearing a different programme.

The majority of FM stations use the

RDS system.

These stations process nonꢁaudio data

in addition to their programmes.

The data broadcast in this way gives

you access to a variety of functions

that are described in this chapter,

notably the display of the station name,

temporary trafﬁc information ﬂashes

and automatic station search.

ꢀ When the function is activated: your

NaviDrive does not change from one

regional station to another.

ꢀ When the function is deactivated:

your NaviDrive selects the best freꢁ

quency from among the regional

stations.

The display will indicate:

ꢀ RDS while the function is activated

and available.

ꢀ RDS shaded while the function is

activated but not available for the

station being listened to.

It allows to listen to the same staꢁ

tion thanks to the frequency search.

But RDS frequency search is not

guaranteed over the whole country.

The radio stations cannot cover the

entire territory, which explains the

loss of reception of the station during

a journey.

The “TA” function lets you switch automati-

broadcasting road information.

The radio station, or the audio source being

listened to at that moment, is paused. Once

the trafﬁc information is ﬁnished, the system

switches back to the radio station or audio

source initially being listened to.

matic broadcasting of trafﬁc announcemnts.

Press on the TA/PTY button to stop listening

to a message being broadcast.

In this case, the “TA” function

remains activated.

If you activate the “TA” function,

the transmitters compatible with

broadcasting of these messages

will be captured as priority

during an automatic search or

preꢁsetting of stations.

The display will indicate:

ꢀ TA provided the station is com-

patible.

ꢀ TA shaded if the station is not

compatible.

During broadcasting of trafﬁc announce-

independently of the general radio vol-

ume.

Rotate the control or press on the controls

at the steering wheel J and K to increase or

decrease the volume.

ꢀ You have to be in Fm.

ꢀ

The station you are tuned to must conﬁrm

through the RDS system that it broadcasts

road information.

ꢀ Stations organised in a network (EON)

have regional transmitters sending their

own programmes. While listening to one

of these stations you can switch to any

station on the network that is broadcasting

trafﬁc information messages.

The adjustment is automatically

memorised.
