Switching HD on or off

The factory setting for HD radio is on. However, when driving through areas with weak HD sig- nals (fringe areas), you may experience that the radio repeatedly switches between analogue/ digital and digital/analogue reception. If this happens, it may be desirable to switch HD off. To do so:

1.Be sure the audio system is switched on and in AM or FM mode.

2.Press MENU in the center console control panel.

3.Press ENTER to turn HD off (the X will dis- appear from the box on the display screen).

This will disable the radio's capability to receive digital broadcasts but it will continue to func- tion as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM receiver. Please note that when HD is switched off, it will not be possible to tune to sub-chan- nels (see the following section for a more detailed explanation of sub-channels).

Repeat steps 2 and 3 above to reactivate HD (an X will appear in the box on the display screen).

Sub-channels

Example of an HD Radio station with sub-channels

In many cases, a main HD Radio station (FM wavebands only) will also have sub-channels offering additional types of programming or music.

In such cases, a number will be displayed to the right of the frequency number indicating that the currently tuned frequency has at least one sub-channel. The "2" in the illustration indi- cates that you are currently listening to the first sub-channel on frequency 93.9.

Selecting sub-channels

To listen to a station's sub-channel(s), press the right arrow key on the center console or on the steering wheel keypad. To go back to the

main channel, press the left arrow key. To go
to subchannel 2 (if available), press the right
	10
arrow key.
If you are currently tuned to a frequency's main
channel, pressing the left arrow key will tune to
the next lower radio frequency.

NOTE

•When the radio has gone into HD mode, it may take several seconds before the ">" symbol (if the current frequency has any sub-channels) is displayed to the right of the frequency. Pressing the arrow keys before the number is dis- played will cause the radio to tune to the next available radio station, not to the current station's sub-channels.

•When you are no longer in broadcasting range of the currently tuned sub-chan- nel, No HD reception will be dis- played. The radio will then be muted and it will be necessary to tune to or search for a new radio station.

Sub-channels can also be stored as presets, see page 250 for information on storing sta- tions.

If you press a sub-channel's preset button, it may take up to 6 seconds before the channel becomes audible. If you press this button while
