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 to is not
transmitting RDS data.

lights up in the display.

When you tune in an FM station that

appears in the display.
Note
The “*” indication means that an RDS station is being
received.
Changing the displayed item
Each time you press (DSPL), the item changes
