Using Radio Data System (RDS)

information or traffic programs (TP) if received.

preset non-RDS stations.
To receive emergency announcements

automatically interrupt the currently selected
source.
To adjust the volume level during a traffic
announcement
Level will be stored into memory for subsequent
traffic announcements, independently from the
regular volume level.
