Using RDS
Your audio system is equipped with a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are available for use only
on FM stations that broadcast RDS information. Using
this system, the radio can do the following:

Seek to stations broadcasting the selected type of
programming

receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies,

display messages from radio stations, and

seek to stations with traffic announcements.
This system relies upon receiving specific information
from these stations and will only work when the
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.
While you are tuned to an RDS station, the station name
or call letters will appear on the display instead of the
frequency. RDS stations may also provide the time of
day, a program type (PTY) for current programming and
the name of the program being broadcast.Finding a PTY Station
P
-TYPE (Program Type Button): Press this button
to turn on and off program type (PTY) select mode.
PTY and the light next to the button will turn on.
The last selected PTY will appear on the display for
five seconds.
P
-TYPE (Program Type Knob): Turn the P-TYPE
knob to select the PTY you want to listen to.
To use the PTY interrupt feature, press and hold the
P
-TYPE button until you hear a beep on the PTY you
want to interrupt with. When you are listening to a
compact disc, the last selected RDS station will interrupt
play if that selected program type format is broadcast.


SEEK SCAN : Press an arrow to find radio
stations for the PTY you want to listen to. The last PTY
selected will be used for seek or scan modes. If a station
with the selected PTY is not found, NONE FOUND will
appear on the display.
If both P
-TYPE and TRAF are on, the radio will
search for stations with the selected PTY and traffic
announcements.

3-27 Tips About Your Audio System
Hearing damage from loud noise is almost undetectable
until it is too late. Your hearing can adapt to higher
volumes of sound. Sound that seems normal can be loud
and harmful to your hearing. Take precautions by
adjusting the volume control on your radio to a safe
sound level before your hearing adapts to it.
To help avoid hearing loss or damage do the following:

Adjust the volume control to the lowest setting.

Increase volume slowly until you hear comfortably
and clearly.NOTICE:
Before you add any sound equipment to your
vehicle
-- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two
-way radio -- be sure you can
add what you want. If you can, it's very
important to do it properly. Added sound
equipment may interfere with the operation of
your vehicle's engine, Delphi Electronics radio or
other systems, and even damage them. Your
vehicle's systems may interfere with the
operation of sound equipment that has been
added improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealership and be sure to check federal
rules covering mobile radio and telephone units.
