AM-FM Radio

Radio Data System (RDS)
The Radio may have a Radio Data
System (RDS). The RDS feature is
available for use only on FM
stations that broadcast RDS
information. This system relies upon
receiving specific information from
these stations and only works when
the information is available. While
the radio is tuned to an FM-RDS
station, the station name or call
letters display. In rare cases, a radio
station could broadcast incorrect
information that causes the radio
features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.

FM1, FM2, AM, and XM. The
