on FM stations that broadcast RDS information.
With RDS, your radio can do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of

national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcementsThis system relies upon receiving specic information
from these stations and will only work when the

may broadcast incorrect information that will cause
the radio features to work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station
