1. Press P-TYP. The P-TYPE symbol will be

displayed on the screen.

2. Select a category by turning the AUDIO knob.

3. Once the desired category is displayed, press either

SEEK arrow to select the category and take you to
the category’s first station.

4. If you want to go to another station within that

category and the category is displayed, press
either SEEK arrow once. If the category is not
displayed, press either SEEK arrow twice to display
the category and then to go to another station.

5. If PTY times out and is no longer on the display, go

back to Step 1.

the screen.

hold either SEEK arrow, and the radio will begin
scanning within your chosen category.

a particular station.

If both P-TYP and TRAF are on, the radio will search
for stations with the selected PTY and traffic
announcements.

BAND (Alternate Frequency): Alternate frequency
allows the radio to switch to a stronger station with the
same program type. Press and hold BAND for two
seconds to turn alternate frequency on. AF ON
will appear on the display. The radio may switch to
stronger stations. Press and hold BAND again for two
seconds to turn alternate frequency off. AF OFF
will appear on the display. The radio will not switch to
other stations. When you turn the ignition off and then on
again, the alternate frequency feature will automatically
be turned on.

This function does not apply for XM™ Satellite Radio
Service.

RDS Messages

ALERT!: Alert warns of local or national emergencies.
When an alert announcement comes on the current
radio station, ALERT! will appear on the display. You will
hear the announcement, even if the volume is muted
or a cassette tape or compact disc is playing. If a
cassette tape or compact disc is being used, play will
stop during the announcement. You will not be able
to turn off alert announcements.
