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: Re-tuning 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 in is not
transmitting RDS data.
Displaying the station
name
The name of the station currently received
lights up on the display.
Select an FM station.
When you tune in an FM station that
transmits RDS data, the station name lights
up on the display.
Note
The “*” indication means that an RDS station is being
received.
Changing the displayed items
Each time you press (DSPL), the displayed
items change as follows:
z Frequency z Time z Station name
Note
“NO NAME” lights up if the station received does not
transmit RDS data.
