RDS

Overview of the RDS function

Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows FM stations to send additional digital information along with the regular radio programme signal. Your car stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are just a few: retuning the same programme automatically, listening to traffic announcements, and locating a station by programme type.

Notes

•Depending on the country or region, not all of the RDS functions are available.

•RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not transmitting RDS data.

Displaying the station name

The name of the current station lights up in the display.

Select an FM station (page 11). When you tune in an FM station that transmits RDS data, the station name appears in the display.

Note

The “*” indication means that an RDS station is being received.
