2005 BUICK TERRAZA display

With RDS, 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
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
This system relies upon receiving specic 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 the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station
name or call letters will appear on the display. RDS
stations may also provide the time of day, a program
type (PTY) for current programming, and the name
of the program being broadcast.

volume level. This feature is most effective at lower radio
volume settings where background noise can affect how
well you hear the music being played through your
