RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS)
Options menu overview
Your radio is equipped with Radio Data System
(RDS), which enables the audio unit to receive
additional inform ation with normal FM radio
signals.
When tuned to certai n stations on the FM
waveband, the radi o decodes signals
transmitted to provide the functions listed
below (dependent upon th e service available
from the broadcasters).
Note: Not all FM radio stat ions broadcast RDS
information. If you are currently tuned to a
non-RDS station, then RDS features will be
unavailable.
Select Settings to display the Settings menu,
then select Options to display the list of RDS
options.
Traffic
RDS provides local trav el information (where
broadcast). See TRAFFIC INFORMATION
CONTROL (page 276).
Regionalisation (REG)
As you drive into different radio reception
areas, RDS automatically retunes the radio to
the strongest signal. The Regional (REG)
option stops the system from tuning to another
local radio station wi th a stronger signal.
From the Options menu, you can switch the
REG option On or Off . With REG on, your
selected local radio st ation will remain tuned
even if reception levels drop.
Alternative frequency (AF)
Some radio stations broadcast on different
frequencies in different parts of the country. If
the selected station signal weakens, the radio
will automatically re -tune to a stronger
alternative frequency (AF) , if one is available
(this feature is partic ularly useful on long
journeys where the vehicle travels through
different transmitter areas serving the same
radio station).
From the Options menu, you can switch AF On
or Off .
Enhanced other networks (EON)
The Enhanced Other Network (EON) option will
tune to any radio station on the same station
network as the one that you are listening to, if
the signal becomes weak.
Either local ( Local) or distant ( Dist.) networks
can be enabled on the Options menu, or the
option can be switched Off.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Digital radio reception
DAB radio is very different from normal AM/FM
radio in both operation and sound quality. The
DAB network is designed to provide near CD
quality from radio broadcasts. In most
locations DAB signals are available without
hiss, crackle, pop or interference, and no
fading or overlap.
DAB radio can significantly increase the
number of radio channe ls/stations available.
The DAB signals are transmitted to most major
cities, towns and motorway networks.
Radio signals travel in a straight line so large
obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the
vehicle from the signal, causing temporary loss
of reception (known as dead spots). Digital radio is transm
itted from regional
transmitters. Some local channels are not
available outside th e range of their
transmitters. If you want to listen to local
channels as you move around the country, use
the auto-tune function (AUTO) to build new
channel lists. For more information on the
auto-tune function. See CHANNEL
AUTOMATIC TUNING (page 284).
Note: If any auxiliary electrical equipment is
connected to the vehicle, then this may reduce
the DAB radio sound quality.

Many digital channels tr ansmit additional text
(DLS, Dynamic Label Segment) to accompany
a broadcast. For safety reasons, this text does
not scroll across the screen.

(1 ). If you want to read the full text, you must
select the additional text button ( 2).
The DAB radio text pop-up screen displays all
128 characters of text. This text may change
periodically, if the broadcaster chooses to do

Note: If this is the first time you have used DAB
radio, you must first build a list of available

FM traffic
The FM traffic option detects the presence of
local traffic announcements on FM stations. As
soon as an announcement is received, radio
reception or CD play will be interrupted. At the
end of the announcement, radio or CD play will
resume.
Select On or Off to enable or disable the FM
traffic option.

digital channels are broadcast by a variety of
regional providers.
A channel in two differ ent regional ensembles
will share an identification if broadcast by the
same provider. If channels are being broadcast
by different suppliers, th en they will not share
the same identification. If you move from one region to another and
Link DAB
is enabled, the DAB radio will attempt
to retune to a channel with the same
identification in a different ensemble.
If the signal strength for a local channel falls
below an acceptable level, the audio unit will
automatically search other available ensembles
for another channel with the same
identification.
If an alternative channel is found in another
ensemble that is also in your current channel
list, then the new channel is tuned
automatically after a few seconds. If a channel
is not found after a few seconds, then No
reception is displayed on the screen.
The word Link is displayed at the top of the
touchscreen to indicate that Link DAB is
enabled.
