Entertainment Systems

Radio Data System (RDS): Your RDS-
equipped radio has the capability to:
• Seek only radio stations with the pro-
gram types you prefer (such as Jazz,
Rock, News, etc.)
• Seek stations with traffic
announcements
• Receive announcements concerning
local and national emergencies
• Receive and display messages from
radio stations
RDS features work only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information and only
when the station is broadcasting the
RDS signal.
Program Type (PTY)
RDS stations may also provide the time
of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the pro-
gram being broadcast.
Finding a PTY Station
To select and find a desired PTY, per-
form the following:
1. Press P-TYP.
2. Select a category by turning the
TONE/AUDIO knob.
3. Once the desired category is dis-
played, press either SEEK arrow to
select the category and take you to
the category's first station.
4. If an alternate station within that cate-
gory is preferred and the category is
displayed, press either SEEK arrow
once. If the category is still not dis-
played, press either SEEK arrow
twice to display the category and go
to another station.
5. If PTY times out and is no longer on
the display, return to Step 1.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual for
additional RDS and PTY information.
Speed-Compensated Volume (SCV):
Your audio system can compensate
automatically for wind and road noise
that comes with increased vehicle
speed. Press the TUNE/AUDIO button
repeatedly until SPEED VOL appears.
Turn the TUNE/AUDIO button to select
OFF, MIN, MED or MAX. Each higher
setting adds more volume compensation
at increased speeds. Choose OFF to
disable SCV.

load one CD on vehicles equipped with
the radio/six-disc CD, perform the fol-
lowing steps:

release the LOAD side of the LOAD
CD button

the right side of the slot to turn green
