Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use
only on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
Using RDS, the radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting a selected type of
programming,
receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,
display messages from radio stations, and
seek to stations with traffic announcements.
The RDS features of your radio rely upon receiving
specific RDS information from these stations and
will only work when this information is available.
In rare cases, a radio station may broadcast incorrect
information that will cause the radio features to
work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio
station.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the call letters
or the station name will appear on the display instead of
the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the program being
broadcast.

appears on the display while using RDS. The display
