Radio Data System (RDS)

If equipped, RDS features are available for
use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS
information. With RDS, the radio can:
Group stations by Category (i.e.,
Programme Type) such as Rock, Jazz,
Classical, etc.
Display messages from radio stations.
This system relies on receiving specific
information from these stations and only
works when the information is available.
It is possible that a radio station could
broadcast incorrect information that causes
the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.
When information is broadcast from an RDS
station, the station name or call letters
display on the audio screen. Radio text
supporting the currently playing broadcast
may also appear.

Radio Reception

Unplug electronic devices from the accessory
power outlets if there is interference or
static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only extend about 16 to 65 km
(10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a
built-in electronic circuit that automatically
works to reduce interference, some static
can occur, especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater
than for FM, especially at night. The longer
range can cause station frequencies to
interfere with each other. Static can also
occur when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble on the
radio.
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
If equipped, Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
is a universal broadcast system that shows
stations by the radio programme name on
the infotainment display. The DAB signal
produces a constant volume and is not
affected by interference from nearby
frequencies. The reception quality of DAB
improves if the signal is reflected by natural
obstacles or buildings. If the DAB signal is
unclear, reception is interrupted completely.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage, such as making or
receiving phone calls, charging, or just
having the phone on may cause static
interference in the radio. Unplug the phone
or turn it off if this happens.

Diversity Aerial System

The AM-FM antenna is a hidden self-tuning
system. It optimises the AM and FM signals
relative to the vehicle's position and radio
station source. No maintenance or
adjustments are needed.
