RDS Messages

ALERT!: Alert warns of national or local emergencies.
When an alert announcement comes on the current radio
station, ALERT! will appear on the display. You will
hear the announcement, even if the volume is muted or a
compact disc is playing. If the compact disc player is
being used, play will stop during the announcement.
You will not be able to turn off alert announcements.

ALERT! will not be affected by tests of the emergency
broadcast system. This feature is not supported by all
RDS stations.

INFO (Information): If the current station has a
message, INFO will appear on the display. Press this
button to see the message. The message may display
the artist and song title, call in phone numbers, etc.

If the whole message is not displayed, parts of it will
appear every three seconds. To scroll through the
message at your own speed, press the INFO button
repeatedly. A new group of words will appear on the
display with each press. Once the complete message
has been displayed, INFO will disappear from the
display until another new message is received. The old
message can be displayed by pressing the INFO button
until a new message is received or a different station is
tuned to.

TRAF (Traffic): Press this button to seek to a station
that broadcasts traffic announcements. TRAF will
appear on the display. If no station is found, NO TRAF
will appear on the display.

When a traffic announcement comes on the current
station or on a related network station, you will hear it,
even if the volume is muted or a compact disc is
playing. If the compact disc player is being used, play
will stop during the announcement.

CALIBRATE: Your audio system has been calibrated
for your vehicle from the factory. If CALIBRATE
appears on the display, it means that your radio has not
been configured properly for your vehicle and must be
returned to the dealership for service.
