Playing The Radio - Pontiac 2008 G5 Owner's Manual

Radio Data System (RDS)
Your radio may have a Radio Data System (RDS). The
RDS feature is available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon
receiving specific information from these stations and
only works when the information is available. While the
radio is tuned to an FM-RDS station, the station name
or call letters display. 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.
