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.

lights up on the display.

Select an FM station.

transmits RDS data, the station name lights
up on the display.

The “

being received.
