RDS

Overview of the RDS
function
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows FM stations to send
additional digital information along with the
regular radio programme signal. Your car
stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are
just a few: retuning the same programme
automatically, listening to traffic
announcements, and locating a station by
programme type.
Notes
• Depending on the country or region, not all of
the RDS functions are available.
• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength
is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not
transmitting RDS data.
Displaying the station
name
The name of the current station lights up in the
display.
Select an FM station (page 11).
When you tune in an FM station that
transmits RDS data, the station name
appears in the display.
Note
The "*" indication means that an RDS station is
being received.
