The car radio filters information transmitted by the transmit-
ter and displays it in the form of radio text.
Radio text cannot be displayed unless the selected transmitter
also transmits radio text.
Unfavourable reception conditions, including interference,
can garble or even block a radio text display.
In order to quit the radio text plane, press TUNER.
Note: Since information transmitted via radio text
display varies constantly, we recommend tun-
ing in the radio text only when the vehicle is
stationary to avoid unnecessary distraction for
the driver. This is a necessary precaution for
accident prevention.

Traffic Programme (TP)

If an RDS diversity transmitter transmits TP announcements,
it is possible to interrupt CD, CDC/AUX, MW, LW or SW
operation or the mute function and to switch through the
transmitted TP announcement. Moreover, you can listen to
one FM station while having TP announcements switched
through that are transmitted by another FM station.
The functionality of the traffic programme functions depends
on the status of the TMC setting - TMC switched on/off
("Switching TMC on/off" auf Seite 122)
When TMC is switched off:
• There are two ways to select a TP transmitter:
- automatic tracking
- direct programming
Automatic tracking always uses the FM station currently
being received as the TP transmitter. If the selected FM
station has poor reception quality or cannot function as a
TP transmitter, the unit applies specified criteria to search
for a new TP transmitter.
Direct programming enables a TP transmitter to be
programmed that is not the FM station being received. For
example, one FM station can be received while TP
announcements transmitted by another FM station are
switched through.
If the programmed TP transmitter reception is poor, the
unit switches to automatic tracking until the programmed
TP transmitter is receivable.
