(d) Radio Data System
NZ036
Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode provides
you to receive text messages from radio sta-
tions that utilize RDS transmitters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
—only select stations of a particular program
type,
—display messages from radio stations,
—search for a stronger signal station,
—search for local stations broadcasting the
same network as the vehicle travels,
—receive announcements concerning local
and national emergencies (even if RDS func-
tion is turned off).
RDS features are available for the use only
on FM stations which broadcast RDS infor-
mation.
