Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System
(RDS). RDS features are available for use only on
FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can:
•
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected
type of programming
•
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
•
Display messages from radio stations
This system relies on receiving specific information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that
will cause the radio features to work improperly.
If this happens, contact the radio station.
The RDS system is always on. When information
is broadcast from the FM station you are
listening to, the station name or call letters will
display on the audio screen. RDS may provide a
program type (PTY) for current programming
and the name of the program being broadcast.
