Alfa Romeo 159 オーナーマニュアル

The radio can operate in two different modes
in the RDS mode:

❒ “AF Switching On” - search for alterna-

tive frequencies activated (the letters
“AF” appear on the display); 

❒ “AF Switching Off” - search for alterna-

tive frequencies not activated.

Proceed as follows to switch the function
on/off:

❒ press the MENU button and select “AF

Switching On”;

❒ briefly press the ÷/˜ buttons to

turn the function on/off. 

With the AF function deactivated, the re-
maining RDS functions, such as the display
of the station name, still remain active. 

The AF function can only be activated on FM
bands.

With the function on, the radio automatically
tunes into the station with the strongest sig-
nal broadcasting the same programme. In
this way when driving you can continue lis-
tening to the same station without having
to change the frequency when you change
areas. 

Obviously, it must be possible to receive the
station that you are listening to in the area
you are driving through.

“AF” will light up in the display when the AF
function is on.

If the AF function has been activated and the
radio is not able to receive the tuned station,
the radio activates the automatic search, dur-
ing which “FM Search” appears on the dis-
play (for versions/markets, where provid-
ed).
