Rds Functions - CITROEN C5 Owner's Handbook Manual

Using the rDs (radio data
system) function on Fm
The majority of FM radio stations
use the RDs system. The radio in
your vehicle has this system.
The RDs system enables these
stations to transmit non-audible
data in addition to the broadcasting
of their programmes. The data pro-
vides access to various functions
described in this chapter, such as:
display of the station name, inter-
mittent traffic information flashes
or automatic scanning of stations.
This enables you to continue lis-
tening to your chosen radio station,
regardless of the different frequen-
cies it uses in the regions through
which you are travelling.
scanning of rDs stations
your radio keeps the best possible
reception by continuously looking
for any other frequencies on which
the selected radio station is broad-
cast, automatically choosing the
frequency offering the best recep-
tion (if the station broadcasts on
more than one transmitter or fre-
quency).
