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:
.Seek to stations broadcasting
the selected type of
programming
.Receive announcements
concerning local and national
emergencies
.Display messages from radio
stations
This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and only works when the
information is available. In rare
cases, a radio station may
broadcast incorrect information that
causes the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact
the radio station.

or only some of a CD exists, the
entire CD records to the hard drive.

recording process has completed,
tracks that have been completely
recorded are stored to the hard

connected. Make sure the activation
file is copied onto a CD or a USB
storage device so that the
downloaded media is supported.

iPod, laptop computer, MP3 player,
CD changer, or cassette tape
player, etc. to the auxiliary input jack
for use as another source for audio
listening.
Drivers are encouraged to set up
any auxiliary device while the
vehicle is in P (Park). See
“Defensive Driving”
in the Index of
the vehicle owner manual for more
information on driver distraction.
To use a portable audio player,
connect a 3.5 mm (1/8 in) cable to
the auxiliary input jack. When a
device is connected, the system
detects and automatically begins
playing audio from the device over
the vehicle's speakers.

listening to another source (FM, XM
(if equipped), CD, MP3, etc.), press
the AUDIO control button then press
AUDIO repeatedly until AUX is
selected or press the AUX screen
button. An auxiliary device must be
