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 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 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.
Finding a Program Type (PTY) Station
To select and find a desired PTY perform the following:
1. Press P-TYP to activate program type select mode.
The PTY symbol will appear on the display.
2. Turn the AUDIO knob to select a PTY.
3. Once the desired PTY is displayed, press either
SEEK arrow to select the PTY and take you to
the PTY’s first station.
4. To go to another station within that PTY and the
PTY is displayed, press either SEEK arrow once.
If the PTY is not displayed, press either SEEK arrow
twice to display the PTY and then to go to
another station.
5. Press P-TYP to exit program type select mode.
If PTY times out and is no longer on the display,
go back to Step 1.
If both PTY and TRAF are on, the radio will
search for stations with the selected PTY and
traffic announcements.
