station appears on the display
instead of its frequency
■ during an automatic station search,
the Infotainment system tunes into RDS stations only
■ the Infotainment system always tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the
chosen station, by means of an
Alternative Frequency (AF ).
RDS functions
Incorporated within the RDS are the
following information fields:
■ AF : Alternative Frequencies
