stations. This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and only works when
the information is available.
In rare cases, a radio station could
broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to
work improperly. If this happens,
contact the radio station.
The RDS system is always on.
When information is broadcast from
the current FM station, the station
name or call letters display on the
audio screen. RDS can provide a

programming and the name of
the program being broadcasted.
