Radio Data System (RDS)
RDS features are available for use
only on FM stations that broadcast
RDS information. The station name
or call letters display while the radio
is tuned to an RDS station.
This system relies upon receiving
specific information from these
stations and works only when the
information is available. In rare
cases, a radio station can broadcast
incorrect information that causes the
radio features to work improperly.
If this happens, contact the radio
station. 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
announcements.
.Provide the time of day.
.Provide a program type (PTY)
for current programming.
.Provide the name of the program
being broadcast.

XM™Satellite Radio Service
XM Satellite Radio Service gives
digital radio reception from coast
to coast in the 48 contiguous
United States, and in Canada.
Just as with FM, tall buildings or
hills can interfere with satellite radio
signals, causing the sound to fade
in and out. In addition, traveling
or standing under heavy foliage,
bridges, garages, or tunnels may
cause loss of the XM signal for a
period of time.
Cellular Phone Usage
Cellular phone usage may cause
interference with the vehicle's radio.
This interference may occur when
making or receiving phone calls,
charging the phone's battery,
or simply having the phone on.
This interference causes an
increased level of static while
listening to the radio. If static is
received while listening to the
radio, unplug the cellular phone
and turn it off.
Diversity Antenna System
The AM-FM antenna is a hidden
self tuning system. It optimizes the
AM and FM signals relative to the
vehicle's position and radio station
source. No maintenance or
adjustments are needed.
Satellite Radio Antenna
For vehicles with XM Satellite Radio
Service, the antenna is located on
the roof or on the trunk lid of the
vehicle. Keep the antenna clear
of obstructions for clear radio
reception.
