Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS).
RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, the radio can do the following:
• Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type
of programming.
• Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies.
• Display messages from radio stations.
• Seek to stations with traffic announcements.
This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and only works when the information
is available. In rare cases, a radio station could broadcast
incorrect information that causes 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 call letters display instead of the frequency.
RDS stations can also provide the time of day, a program
type (PTY) for current programming, and the name of the
program being broadcast.
The RDS function does not work with XM™.
RDS Messages
ALERT: Alert warns of local and national emergencies.
When, an alert announcement comes on the
current radio station or a related network station,
ALERT displays. The announcement should be heard,
even if the volume is low or a CD or DVD is playing.
If a CD or DVD is playing, play stops during the
announcement. Alert announcements cannot be turned
off. If the radio tunes to a related network station for
the announcement, it returns to the original station
when the announcement ends.
ALERT is not affected by tests of the emergency
broadcast system. This feature is not supported by
all RDS stations.
