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:
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 announcementsRDS:Touch RDS to use alternate RDS functions
located in the preset menu. After touching RDS, there
is about ve seconds to choose RDS ON/OFF, TA,
MSG, PTY, or SEL PTY. If no selection is made, the
system returns to the previous menu.
If 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
remains on the display. While RDS is on, the audio
system searches 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 only
works when RDS information is available.
TA (Traffic):Touch TA to receive traffic announcements.
The audio system turns on the TA display. TA appears on
the display if the current station broadcasts traffic
announcements. Traffic announcements can also be
received from stations in the network related to the
4-60

current station. If the current station does not broadcast
traffic announcements, the audio system seeks 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 the steering wheel or use the VOL up or down
buttons during the announcement. See “Voice Guidance
Volume Settings” underSetup Menu on page 4-12for
more information.
When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio
station or a related network station, it will be heard 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 returns 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.
SG (Message):When RDS is on, if the current station
has a message, MSG displays. Touch MSG from the
preset menu to view the message. If the whole message
does not appear on the display, parts of the message
appears every three seconds until the message iscompleted. Once the complete message has been
displayed, MSG disappears from the display until another
new message is received. MSG remains available
allowing the entire message to be displayed again.
PTY:PTY seeks only to stations with desired types of
programming. This button is used to turn on and off
Program Type (PTY) features.
With RDS on, touch RDS, followed by PTY. The PTY
display turns 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
appears. Use the up and down arrows to select a PTY.
Touch the PTY selection and the system returns to
the screen with the preset stations shown. See Steps 1
through 7 under “Preset Station Menu” to store the
selected PTYs. The selected PTY is then stored on the
preset. 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 is used for seek and scan modes.
If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NONE
FOUND appears on the display. If both PTY and TA
are on, the audio system searches for stations with
traffic announcements and the selected PTY.

PTY (Program Type) Presets:The six presets let you
return to favorite PTYs. These presets have factory
PTY preset stations. See “RDS Program Type (PTY)
Selections” later in this section. Up to 12 PTYs, 6 FM 1
and 6 FM2 can be set. To save a PTY preset:
1. Touch FM1 or FM2.
2. Touch RDS to enter the RDS menu.
3. Touch RDS ON/OFF to turn RDS on.
4. Touch PTY.
5. Touch SEL PTY and select the desired PTY from
the list.
6. Touch and hold one of the six presets for more
than two seconds until a beep is heard. Whenever
that numbered preset is touched for less than
two seconds, the PTY that was set, returns.
7. Repeat the steps for each preset.
Once a PTY is stored for each of the preset stations, a
PTY preset can be recalled by touching the preset station
for less than two seconds. Then use TUNE/SEEK or
SCAN to locate a station for that PTY selection.ALERT:This type of announcement warns of national
or local emergencies. Alert announcements cannot
be turned off. Alert announcements come on even if
RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears on the display
when an alert announcement plays. The audio system
uses TA volume during these announcements.
To increase volume, touch the VOL button on the
steering wheel or use the VOL up and down buttons
during the announcement. See “Voice Guidance Volume
Settings” underSetup Menu on page 4-12for more
information. When an alert announcement comes on the
tuned radio station or a related network station, it will
be heard 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 returns to the original
station when the announcement is nished. If the CD
player is playing, the player stops for the announcement
and resume when the announcement is nished.

Radio Personalization with Home
and Away Feature
With this feature, the latest audio system settings can be
recalled that were adjusted the last time the vehicle was
operated. This feature allows two different drivers to store
and recall their own audio system settings. The settings
recalled by the audio system are determined by which
transmitter (1 or 2) was used to enter the vehicle.
The number on the back of the transmitter corresponds
to driver 1 or to driver 2. The audio system settings will
automatically adjust to where they were last set by the
identied driver. The settings can also be recalled by
briey pressing the MEMORY seat switches 1 or 2
located on the driver door.The audio system can store HOME and AWAY preset
stations. HOME and AWAY preset stations allow use of
one set of preset radio settings in the area where you
live, and another set when you go out of town. That way,
there is no need to reprogram the preset stations
every time you travel.
To select HOME and AWAY preset stations:
1. With the audio system on, touch the Audio hard key
and turn the audio system off.
2. Touch the HOME or AWAY button from the main
audio screen.
The next time the audio system is turned on, the
system recalls the last active preset selection.
When battery power is removed and later applied, the
home audio system preset stations do not have to
be reset because the audio system remembers them.
However, the away radio preset stations have to
be reset.

is active.
This feature only works if the map DVD is inserted and
I AGREE has been selected. If voice recognition is used
without the map DVD inserted, the system displays
“Please insert the navigation map DVD to use the voice

For example, the system says “FM1 Radio” and
change the audio system to the FM1 source.
The voice recognition can be ended by not speaking
any commands. After about ve seconds of silence, the
system automatically cancels voice recognition.
At times, the system may not understand a spoken
command. If this happens, try saying the command
again. If a spoken command is not available, the system
provides feedback based on availability.
While using voice recognition, make sure to keep
interior noise levels to a minimum. Otherwise, the
system might not recognize voice commands.
