Using the Traffic Program/Setup button
you can access traffic program functions

The letters "TP" appear in the display- see
point 20.
Ilf the current station is not a TP station, the
radio automatically selects the last TP
tion listened to (Last Station Memory).
If this station is cannot be received, the
radio will automatically search for the next
TP station with a strong signal. "NO TP TP-
SEEK" appears in the display. The

RADIO
The frequencies and names of stations
broadcasting traffic news announcements
are frequently posted along motorways and
trunk roads.
It is possible to store 6 traffic information
stations in the TP mode.
TA ready mode
The TA ready mode makes it possible to
listen to traffic information reports exclus-
ively. These reports will be played at the
programmed volume, even when the
ume is set at "very quiet" - please also refer
to page 8. If the range of the set traffic information station is left, the station search
function will start after approximately 30
seconds.
Interrupting a traffic news announcement
In some situations it can occur that a traffic
news announcement is interrupted, e.g.:
- The announcement does not apply to
this stretch of road.
- The announcement is very long and the
part concerning this stretch of road is
complete.
Press the TP/set button during the announcement which is to be interrupted.
The announcement is interrupted and the
previous operating mode - cassette, radio
or CD - is resumed. Subsequent traffic
news announcements will still be heard.
It is possible to switch off the traffic an-
nouncements mode permanently by exiting
the TP mode.
