Radio Data System (RDS)
The Radio Data System (RDS) provides inaud-
ible additional information in the FM wave-
band. The system consists of a listening
receiver and a monitoring receiver.
The monitoring receive rconstantly scans the
FM waveband and collects data from all the
stations with adequate reception, e.g. recep-
tion quality and RDS data such as programme
name and alternative frequencies. COMAND
stores the data and constantly updates the
memory. Therefore, the listening receiver is
able to switch inaudibly to an alternative fre-
quency with a better signal.
i RDS only functions for stations which
transmit RDS data.
Switching RDS on/off
You can use the functions "Frequency fix" (FM
mode) or "Station fix" (DAB mode*) to prevent
COMAND from switching between alternative
frequencies. This is useful, for example, when
the same content is broadcast with a time
delay, or when there is interference on one of
the frequencies.
X Select Radioin the radio or DABr adio dis-
play
X Select Frequency fix orStation fix .
The function is switched on 0019or off 0004,
depending on the previous status.
Traffic Programme Many FM stations transmit traffic announce-
ments (TA). You can also hear these in DAB
radio mode*.
You can switch announcements on and off or
interrupt a current announcement.
Switching Traffic Programme on/off
X Firs toption: selectRadio in the radio or
DAB radio display. The tick next to
TAindicates that traffic
announcement receptio nis switched on.
You see the TAicon in the status bar.
X Select TA.
TA is switched on or off, depending on the
previous status.
X Second option: press and hold the 001E
button until the TAicon lights up or goes
out in the status bar.
At one sounds.
or
X Using the multifunction steering wheel,
press and hold 001Euntil the TAicon lights
up or goes out in the status bar.
At one sounds.
Once traffic announcements have been
switched on, COMAND selects an RDS sta-
tion. The Traffic Programme is retrieved from:
R the currently selected FM station
R an RDS station in the range of stations of
the currently selected FM station
R the RDS station with the best reception
quality
When traffic announcements are switched
on, a traffic announcement will interrupt the
audio signal from the currently activated
audio or video source.
i Telephone conversations and navigation
announcements are not interrupted.
Ad isplay message appears in the display in
all audio operating modes.
Interrupting a traffic announcement
X Briefly press the 000Bbutton during a traffic
announcement.
or
X Using the multifunction steering wheel,
