Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has RDS features that are available
for use only on FM stations that broadcast RDS
information.
With RDS:
• Stations can be selected based on programming
• Stations with traffic announcements can be selected
• Announcements concerning local and national
emergencies can be received.
• Messages display from radio stations.
RDS relies on receiving specific information from radio
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. Contact the radio station if this happens.
When 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.
