Receiving Emergency Announcements
In case of danger through an emergency or a natural
disaster, RDS stations transmit emergency
announcements to warn the drivers in that area. Such
announcements can be received only when the AF or TA
functions are activated. When an emergency
announcement is received, CD playback will stop, the unit
will automatically change to FM, and the information can
be heard.

at a previously set volume level. For example,
even if the volume is turned to zero, it will
automatically change to the preset level when
a traffic announcement starts. (If the current
volume level is higher than the preset level, the
current level will not change.)
