Using RDS

Your audio system is equipped with a Radio 
Data System (RDS). With RDS, the radio can 
do the following:

D

Seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,

D

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

D

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and

D

receive and display messages from radio stations.

RDS features are only available for use on FM stations
which broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of
your radio rely upon receiving specific RDS information
from these stations. These features will only work when
the RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.

When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station 
name will appear on the display, instead of the
frequency. Most RDS stations provide their station
name, the time of day and a Program Type (PTY) 
for their current programming.
