Information Program)
function automatically tunes to the
radio station which is broadcasting
the traffic information.
The system will return to the audio
display about 5 seconds after you
stop selecting the function. Pushing
down the selector also cancels this
selecting mode.
When the signals of the RDS station
become so weak that the system can
no longer follow the station, the
system will hold the last tuned
frequency and the display will
change from the station name to the
frequency.
In some countries, you cannot utilize
features provided by RDS as the
RDS function is not provided for all
stations.
