Playing The Radio - Chevrolet 2009 Uplander Owner's Manual

Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS).
RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
•
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming
•
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
•
Display messages from radio stations
•
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and only works when the information
is available. In rare cases, a radio station can broadcast
incorrect information that causes the radio features
to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio
station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or call letters display. RDS stations can also
provide the time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
broadcast.
