in the preset menu. When you touch RDS, you will only
have about ve seconds to choose RDS ON/OFF, TA,
MSG, PTY, or SEL PTY. If you do not make a selection,
the system will return to the previous menu.
If you are tuned to a station broadcasting RDS
information, the station’s Program Service (PS) and
Program Type (PTY) will replace the station’s frequency
on the status line at the top of the display. After about
ve seconds, if available, the PTY will be replaced
on the display by the station’s PTY name. The PTY and
PTY name may be the same or different.
If the audio system is tuned to a station that is not
broadcasting RDS information, the station’s frequency
will remain on the display. While RDS is on, the

network if a station gets too weak for listening.
The RDS feature relies upon receiving specic
information from RDS stations. These features will
only work when RDS information is available.TA (Traffic):Touch TA to receive traffic announcements.
The audio system will turn on the TA display. TA will
appear on the display if the current station broadcasts
traffic announcements. You may also receive traffic
announcements from stations in the network related to
the current station. If the current station does not
broadcast traffic announcements, the audio system will
seek to a station which will. When the audio system nds
a station which broadcasts traffic announcements, it will
stop. If no station is found, TA will turn off.

uses TA volume. To increase TA volume, touch the VOL
button on your steering wheel or use the VOL up or down
buttons during the announcement. See “Voice Guidance
Volume Settings” underSetup Menu on page 4-13for
more information.
When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it even if
the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the audio
system tunes to a related network station for a traffic
announcement, it will return to the original station when
the announcement is nished. If the CD player was being
used, the CD will stay in the player and resume play at
the point where it stopped.

complete message has been displayed, MSG will
disappear from the display until another new message
is received. MSG will remain available to allow you

return to your favorite PTYs. These presets have
factory PTY preset stations. See “RDS Program Type

ALERT:This type of announcement warns of national
