DAB to FM Linking supports the automatic
switching of your now playing DAB station
to another station on the FM band with the
same content. This happens if the Now
Playing DAB station reception weakens and
an alternate FM station with the same
content and better reception can be
received.
DAB linking settings can be turned on or off
in the Settings menu.
DAB Announcements
If equipped, DAB announcements represent a
grouping of broadcast announcements
defined by category. Examples include news,
emergency, weather, sports, finance, etc.
Desired announcement types can be selected
by the user through the DAB Announcement
screen. Emergency announcements are
always enabled and cannot be disabled.
Selected announcements will be
automatically received by the radio, when
available. Your radio will provide a pop-up
window to notify you that a pending
announcement will begin playing. You can
choose to listen to or dismiss the
announcement.
DAB announcement settings can be
managed in the Audio Settings menu.

Radio Data System (RDS)

If equipped, RDS features are available for
use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS
information. When supported, the
radio may:
Group stations by Category (i.e., Program
Type) such as Rock, Jazz, Classical, etc.
Display text from radio stations that
include station name and messages.
This system relies on receiving specific
information from these stations and only
works when the information is available.
It is possible that a radio station could
broadcast incorrect information that causes
the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.
When information is broadcast from a RDS
station, the station name or call letters
display on the audio screen. Radio text
supporting the currently playing broadcast
may also appear.

Radio Reception

Unplug electronic devices from the accessory
power outlets if there is interference or
static in the radio.
Infotainment System
FM
FM signals only reach about 16 to 65 km
(10 to 40 mi). Although the radio has a
built-in electronic circuit that automatically
works to reduce interference, some static
can occur, especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater
than for FM, especially at night. The longer
range can cause station frequencies to
interfere with each other. Static can also
occur when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception. When
this happens, try reducing the treble on the
radio.
Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
If equipped, Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)
is a universal broadcast system that
indicates stations by the radio program
name on the infotainment display. The DAB
signal produces a constant volume and is
not affected by interference from nearby
frequencies. The reception quality of DAB
improves if the signal is reflected by natural
obstacles or buildings. If the DAB signal is
unclear, reception is interrupted completely.
