Radio data system (RDS)

RDS is a service of FM stations that
considerably facilitates the finding of
the desired station and its fault-free
reception.
Advantages of RDS
■ On the display, the programme
name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
■ During a station search the
Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.
■ The Infotainment system always
tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set
station by means of AF (alternative
frequency).
■ Depending on the station that is
received, the Infotainment system
displays radio text that can contain
e.g. information about the current
programme.

Traffic announcements (TA)
Radio traffic service stations are RDS
stations that broadcast traffic news. If
the traffic service is switched on, the
currently active function is interrupted
for the duration of the traffic
announcement.
Switching the traffic announcements
on and off
Set the TA menu item to On or Off.
If the radio traffic service is activated,
[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station is not a
radio traffic service station, TP is
greyed out and a search is started
automatically for the next radio traffic
service station. As soon as a radio
traffic service station is found, TP is
highlighted. If no radio traffic service
station is found, TP remains greyed
out.
If a traffic announcement is broadcast
on the respective station, a message
is displayed.
To interrupt the announcement and
return to the function previously
activated: select the Cancel screen
button in the message.
TP volume
The volume of traffic announcements
can be preset to a value between 0
and 63.
