Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode pro-
vides you to receive text messages from
radio stations that utilize RDS transmit-
ters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
—select only stations of a particular pro-
gram type,
—display messages from radio stations,
—search for a stronger signal station,
—search for local stations broadcasting
the same network as the vehicle travels,
—receive announcements concerning lo-
cal and national emergencies (even if
RDS function is turned off).
RDS features are available for the use
only on FM stations which broadcast RDS
information.

(e) Traffic announcement
“TA” button
When in FM1 or FM2 mode, push and
release the “TA” button for less than 2
seconds to toggle the TA icon on and off
and change the radio’s response to traffic
announcements. Push and hold the “TA”
button for more than 2 seconds to cause
the tuner to seek to the next RDS station
capable to broadcasting traffic announce-
ments. If the tuner stops on a radio sta-
tion that is an active traffic program, “TP”
will be displayed and TA will be set to
on. If no traffic program is found during
traffic seek, TA will still be turned on. If
a traffic interrupt is received and TA is
active, the volume will be increased to
the predefined interrupt volume setting for
the duration of the traffic interrupt. If TA
is on and the audio mode is compact
disc or compact disc auto changer opera-
tion, a traffic interrupt will also pause
playback and change the audio mode to
tuner. The volume will be increased to
the predefined interrupt volume setting for
the duration of the traffic interrupt. Once
the traffic interrupt has ended, the pre-
vious audio mode will resume.You can decrease the volume indepen-
dently from the memorized interrupt vol-
ume range while receiving a TA station.
Traffic announcement can be canceled by
pressing the “TA” button again.
