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 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
