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.
