What is RDS?    
RDS station following    
Tr a ffi c information function 
  Your radio automatically checks 
and selects the best frequency 
for the radio station to which it is 
tuned (if the station broadcasts on sev-
eral transmitters or frequencies). 
  The frequency of a radio station covers 
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The 
change from one frequency to another 
explains the loss of reception during a 
journey. 
  If the station to which you are listening 
does not have several frequencies in 
the region in which you are currently lo-
cated, you can deactivate the automatic 
frequency following.  
 
 
Radio Data System (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits: 
   
 
-   tuning to the same station while 
travelling through different regions 
(if the transmitters of this station 
cover the area through which you 
are travelling), 
   
-   temporary tuning to traffi c  informa-
tion announcements, 
   
-   display of the name of the station, 
etc...  
  Most FM stations use RDS. 
  These stations transmit non-audible 
data in addition to their programmes. 
  The data transmitted in this way allows 
you access to various functions, mainly 
displaying of the name of the station, 
temporary tuning to traffi c  information 
announcements or automatic station 
following. 
  RDS allows you to continue listening to the 
same station by means of the frequency 
following. However, in certain conditions, 
this RDS frequency following cannot be 
provided throughout the country. Radio 
stations do not cover the whole country, 
which explains the loss of reception of the 
station during a journey.     
The Traffic Program (TP) func-
tion permits automatic and 
temporary switching to an FM 
station broadcasting traffi c infor-
mation. 
  The radio station or the source that you 
are listening to at this point is paused. 
  Once the traffi c information has ended, 
the system switches back to the radio 
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.  
   
Regional following mode 
  Some stations are organised in 
a network. 
  In different regions, they broadcast dif-
ferent or shared programmes depend-
ing on the time of day. 
  You can follow: 
   
 
-   a regional station only, 
   
-   the entire network, with the possibility 
that you will be listening to a different 
programme.  
    
Programme types 
   
Some stations offer the option 
of listening to a themed type of 
programme as a priority, select-
ed from the list available below: 
  NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFOS, SPORT, 
EDUCATE, DRAMA, CULTURE, 
SCIENCE, VARIED, POP M, ROCK M, 
EASY M, LIGHT M, CLASSICS, OTHER 
M, WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN, 
SOCIAL, RELIGION, PHONE IN, TRAVEL, LEISURE, JAZZ, COUNTRY, NATION M, 
OLDIES, FOLK M, DOCUMENT.
