Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data System
(RDS). RDS is a system that receives data along with
the audio of the FM station you are currently tuned to.
You can use RDS to display program information and to
control your radio. With RDS, the radio can do the following:

Seek only to stations with the types of programs you
want to listen to,

seek to stations with traffic announcements,

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies, and

receive and display messages from radio stations.
RDS features are only available on FM stations that
broadcast RDS information. The RDS features of your
radio rely on receiving specific RDS information from
these stations. These features will only work when the
RDS information is available. In rare cases, a radio
station may broadcast incorrect information that will
cause the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.
When you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name will
appear on the display, instead of the frequency. Most RDS
stations provide their station name, the time of day and a
Program Type (PTY) for their current programming. Some
stations also provide the name of the current program.

4-11
An emergency like this requires close attention and a
quick decision. If you are holding the steering wheel at
the recommended 9 and 3 o'clock positions, you can
turn it a full 180 degrees very quickly without removing
either hand. But you have to act fast, steer quickly, and
just as quickly straighten the wheel once you have
avoided the object.
The fact that such emergency situations are always
possible is a good reason to practice defensive driving at
all times and wear safety belts properly.
Off-Road Recovery
You may find that your right wheels have dropped off the
edge of a road onto the shoulder while you're driving.
If the level of the shoulder is only slightly below the
pavement, recovery should be fairly easy. Ease off the
accelerator and then, if there is nothing in the way, steer so
that your vehicle straddles the edge of the pavement. You
can turn the steering wheel up to one
-quarter turn until the
right front tire contacts the pavement edge. Then turn your
steering wheel to go straight down the roadway.

5-14 How to Add Coolant to the Radiator
You can remove the
radiator pressure cap
when the cooling
system, including
the radiator pressure
cap and upper
radiator hose, is
no longer hot.
1. Turn the pressure cap slowly counterclockwise
until it first stops. (Don't press down while turning
the pressure cap.)
If you hear a hiss, wait for that to stop. A hiss
means there is still some pressure left.
2. Then keep turning the
pressure cap, but now
push down as you
turn it. Remove the
pressure cap.
