Service Following Function
If a station in the DAB+ band loses its signal, the Service Following scans for an alternative
station (broadcasting the same content) for the same one. If an alternative DAB+ station is not
located, the device automatically tries to switch to an FM station that is also broadcasting the
same content. If an alternative frequency has not been found after a while, the scan stops
automatically.
2. With the Radio source selected and the DAB+ band activated, the following modes of information
are displayed by default on the lower line of the LCD:
DLS Mode: it is active when the radio tuner has received the DLS (Dynamic Label System)
from the current station. The DLS system allows seeing in real-time information related to the
broadcasted content (name of the song, name of the program...).
ENSEMBLE Mode: it is active when the radio tuner has not received the DLS from the current
station. This mode displays the name and frequency of the tuned ensemble.
Alternatively, other information modes can be accessed by pressing [b](after 2s, returns to
default mode).
SNR Mode: displays the signal level of the selected station.
ENSEMBLE Mode: displays the name and frequency of the selected ensemble when the DLS
mode is active.

DAB+ Data Service System
Equivalent to the RDS function for FM radio stations, the DAB+ Data Service system provides
extra information related to the selected radio station.

4.9. How the Reception of Radio Works
AM, FM and DAB+ radio signals are broadcast from transmitter towers located around your city.
They are intercepted by the radio antenna on your vehicle. This signal is then received by the radio and
sent to the vehicle speakers.
When a strong radio signals has reached the vehicle, the precise engineering of your radio system
ensures high quality reproduction. However, in some cases the signal coming to the vehicle is not strong
and clear. This can be due to factors such as the distance from the radio station, closeness of other
strong radio stations or the presence of buildings, bridges or other large obstructions in the area.
AM and DAB+ signals reception is usually better than FM reception:
In the case of the AM signal, radio waves are transmitted at low frequency. These long, low
frequency radio waves can follow the curvature of the earth rather than travelling straight out into
the ionosphere. In addition, they curve around obstructions so that they can provide better signal
coverage.
In the case of the DAB+ signal, the compression and coding system used to convert the
analogue signal into a digital signal makes the transmission immune to interference caused by
buildings, mountains or atmospheric conditions that normally disturb the reception of the FM
signal.
Because of this, clear AM and DAB+ broadcasts can be clearly received at greater distances than
FM broadcasts.
Figure 6 –AM and DAB+ Reception
FM broadcasts are transmitted at high frequency and do not bend to follow the earth’s surface. Because
of this, FM broadcasts generally begin to fade at short distances from the station. Also, FM signals are
easily affected by buildings, mountains, or other obstructions.

These can result in certain listening conditions, which might lead you to believe a problem exists with your
radio. The following conditions are normal and do not indicate radio trouble:
Fading –As the vehicle moves away from the radio station, the signal will weaken and sound will
begin to fade. When this occurs, it is suggested that you select another stronger station.
Flutter/Static –Weak FM signals or large obstructions between the transmitter and the radio can
disturb the signal causing static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing the treble level may lessen
this effect until the disturbance clears.
Station Swapping –As a FM signal weakens, another more powerful signal near the same
frequency may begin to play. This is because the radio is designed to lock onto the clearest
signal. If this occurs, select another station with a stronger signal.
Multi-Path Cancellation –Radio signals being received from several directions can cause
distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by a direct and a reflected signal from the same station
or by signals from two stations with close frequencies. If this occurs, select another station until
the condition has passed.
Figure 8 –FM Reception Conditions
The radio allows managing the above described unfavourable situations by means of different strategies
intended to minimize cases of poor reception:
In the case of the FM signal, the RDS function retunes to alternative frequencies (AF) allowing
the above situations to be managed automatically by selecting alternative frequencies for the
same station to minimize cases of poor reception.
In the case of the DAB+ signal, the Service Following function allows managing these
situations by automatically switching to an alternative station in another DAB+ ensemble or to an
equivalent station in the FM band.
However, if a station does not provide the required information within the RDS (alternative frequencies
list) or DAB+ (DAB→DAB or DAB→FM list of links) or does not have adequate coverage of radio
stations, the radio will not be able to act in situations of poor reception described above.
