Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) - HU -801 only
The HU -801 radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be
transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made
available for several new and unique features. The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and
the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the
accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation
of these functions.
Volvo was among the first to pioneer this technology throughout Europe and it is slowly making its way to North
America. Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will
find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system.
pg.131 Audio systems HU-801 - radio
Traffic information (TP) - HU-801 only
This feature may not be apply in your area and only functions with FM broadcasts.
A short push on the "TP" button (less than 1 second) gives the traffic information from RDS stations. "TP" is displayed

When the unit is in Cassette or CD mode, the FM radio function will seek in the background for a station with a strong
signal broadcasting traffic information. If a cassette or CD are playing when the radio receives a traffic bulletin, that
function is interrupted and the bulletin is broadcast with the volume pre-selected for traffic information.
When the bulletin is finished the unit immediately returns to the previously set volume and continues playing the
cassette or CD.
