RDS radio

With RDS (Radio Data System) the radio can
automatically change to the strongest transmit-
ter. RDS provides the ability to receive e.g. traffic
information and to search for certain programme
types.
RDS links FM transmitters into a network. An FM
transmitter in such a network sends information
that gives an RDS radio the following functions:
•
Switch automatically to a stronger transmitter
if reception in the area is poor.
•
Search for programme category, e.g. pro-
gramme types or traffic information.
•
Receive text information on current radio
programme.
NOTE
Some radio stations do not use RDS or only
selected parts of its functionality.
When broadcasting news or traffic messages, the
radio can switch stations, interrupting the audio
source currently in use. For example, if the CD
player is in use, it is paused. The radio returns to
the previous audio source and volume when the
set programme type is no longer broadcast. To
go back earlier, press on the right-hand
steering wheel keypad or tap Cancel
tre display.
