This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and will only work when the
information is available. In rare cases, a radio station
may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.

While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or the call letters will appear on the display instead
of the frequency. RDS stations may also provide the
time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
broadcast.

that includes song title and artist name. A service fee is

Playing the Radio

PWR (Power): Push this knob to turn the system on
and off.

VOL (Volume): Turn this knob to increase or to
decrease the volume.

RCL (Recall): Push this knob to switch the display
between the radio station frequency and the time.
When the ignition is turned off, push this knob to
display the time.

For XM™ (if equipped), push the RCL knob while in
XM™ mode to retrieve four different categories of
information related to the current song or channel:
Artist, Song Title, Category or PTY, Channel
Number/Channel Name.

To change the default on the display, push the RCL
knob until you see the display you want, then hold the
knob until the display flashes. The selected display
will now be the default.

SCV (Speed-Compensated Volume): With SCV, the
audio system adjusts automatically to make up for
road and wind noise as you drive.

Set the volume at the desired level. Press this button to
select MIN, MED, or MAX. Each higher setting allows
for more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.
Then, as you drive, SCV automatically increases the
volume, as necessary, to overcome noise at any speed.
The volume level should always sound the same to
you as you drive. To turn SCV off, press this button until
OFF appears on the display.
