Radio Data Systems (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 do the following:
Seek to stations broadcasting the selected
type of programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
RDS:Touch RDS to use alternate RDS functions
located 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 audio system will search for a stronger
station in 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.
While a traffic announcement plays, the audio
system 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 243for
more information.
295

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.
Touch RDS followed by TA again to turn TA off.
MSG (Message):When RDS is on, if the
current station has a message, MSG will appear
on the display. Touch MSG from the preset
menu to view the message. If the whole message
does not appear on the display, parts of the
message will appear every three seconds until the
message is completed. Once the complete
message has been displayed, MSG will disappear
from the display until another new message is
received. MSG will remain available to allow you
to display the entire message again.PTY:PTY allows you to seek only stations with
types of programs you want to listen to. This
button is used to turn on and off Program Type
(PTY) features.
With RDS on, touch RDS, followed by PTY. The
PTY display will turn on. Touch RDS followed
by this button again to turn the PTY display off.
Select PTY (Select Program Type):With
RDS and PTY on, touch RDS, then SEL PTY. The
PTY menu will appear. Use the up and down
arrows to select a PTY. Touch your PTY selection

through 7 under “Preset Station Menu” to store the
selected PTYs. The selected PTY is then stored
on the preset. You can now touch the PTY preset
to recall your settings.
When the PTY display is on, press TUNE/SEEK
and SCAN to nd radio stations of the PTY
selected. The last PTY selected will be used for
seek and scan modes. If a station with the
selected PTY is not found, NONE FOUND will
appear on the display. If both PTY and TA are on,
the audio system will search for stations with
traffic announcements and the selected PTY.

preset stations, you can recall a PTY preset

national or local emergencies. You will not be able
to turn off alert announcements. Alert
announcements will come on even if RDS mode is
turned off. ALERT appears on the display when

system uses TA volume during these
announcements. To increase volume, touch the

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 an alert announcement, it will
return to the original station when the
announcement is nished. If the CD player is
playing, the player will stop for the announcement
and resume when the announcement is nished.
