Radio Data System (RDS)
Operation
Your audio system is equipped with a
Radio Data System. RDS features are
available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. With
RDS, the radio can:
• Seek stations broadcasting the type
of programming you select
• Receive announcements concerning
local and national emergencies
• Display messages from radio
stations, and
• Seek stations with traffic
announcements
When you tune to an RDS station, the
station name and call letters 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 pro-
gram being broadcast. RDS relies on
receiving specific information from these
stations and will work only when the
information is available.
See Section 3 of your Owner Manual.

Tire Pressure Monitor System

(if equipped)
The system alerts you when it detects a
large change in the pressure of one tire.
The system cannot alert you before you
drive that a tire is low or flat. The Tire
Pressure Monitor System does not
replace normal tire maintenance.
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on while driving your vehicle, the
system may have detected a low-tire
condition. You need to stop as soon as
possible and check your tires for
damage.
In order for the Tire Pressure Monitor
System to work properly, you will need
to reset (initialize) the system anytime
you service a tire. Use the SET button
to the left of the steering wheel on the
instrument panel to reset the system.
To reset the system:
• Check the tire pressure in all four
tires, and set them to the specified
level shown on the tire and loading
label.
• Turn the ignition to ON with the
engine off.
• If the low tire pressure indicator light
is on, push the SET button for a few
seconds. The indicator light should
go off.
