Audio System (on vehicles without navigation system)
When you turn the TUNE knob, the
display will show different PTYs (see
the PTYs list on the previous
column).
After you select the desired
programme type, the system will
search for a station with the same
PTY code as the selected
programme type. When you use this
function for the first time, NEWS
will appear as it was preset at the
factory.
After your desired PTY is displayed,
press either side of the SEEK/SKIP
button within 5 seconds. The system
will go into the PTY search mode
and search for a station of the
selected PTY. If there is no station
available in the selected PTY, NO
PTY is displayed for about 5 seconds
and the PTY search mode is
cancelled.

Features
If the selected RDS station does not
transmit PTY data, NO PTY is
displayed. When the selected station
is not an RDS station, NO RDS is
displayed for about 5 seconds.
The PTY setting mode is cancelled if
no further steps are taken within 5
seconds after selecting the desired
PTY with the TUNE knob.
Some stations may broadcast the
programmes with different contents
from their PTY code.
In the PTY search mode, the tuning
step is set to 50 kHz while searching
the FM band. This step changes to
100 kHz when the AF or TA function
is activated.

PTY/News Interrupt Function

To activate this function, press the
TA/PTY button for more than 2
seconds and select NEWS. The
system will hold the last tuned FM
station/network PTY while you are
listening to the disc. With this
function on, playing disc is
interrupted and the system switches
from disc mode to the FM newscast
when the newscast is broadcasting
from the FM station.
You can change the volume level of
the interrupted newscast. Refer to
page 228 for how to adjust the
volume level.
When the programme is changed to
another programme or the
frequency cannot be received for 10
seconds due to a weak signal, the
system will return to the disc mode
automatically.
