programming
Receive announcements concerning local and
national emergencies
Display messages from radio stations
Seek to stations with traffic announcements
4-54

in the preset menu. When you touch RDS, you will only
have about ve seconds to choose RDS ON/OFF, TA,
MSG, PTY, or SEL PTY. If you do not make a selection,
the system will return to the previous menu.
If you are tuned to a station broadcasting RDS
information, the station’s Program Service (PS) and
Program Type (PTY) will replace the station’s frequency
on the status line at the top of the display. After about
ve seconds, if available, the PTY will be replaced
on the display by the station’s PTY name. The PTY and
PTY name may be the same or different.
If the audio system is tuned to a station that is not
broadcasting RDS information, the station’s frequency
will remain on the display. While RDS is on, the
audio system will search for a stronger station in the
network if a station gets too weak for listening.
The RDS feature relies upon receiving specic
information from RDS stations. These features will only
work when RDS information is available.TA (Traffic):Touch TA to receive traffic
announcements. The audio system will turn on the TA
display. TA will appear on the display if the current station
broadcasts traffic announcements. You may also receive
traffic announcements from stations in the network
related to the current station. If the current station does
not broadcast traffic announcements, the audio system
will seek to a station which will. When the audio system
nds a station which broadcasts traffic announcements, it
will stop. If no station is found, TA will turn off.
While a traffic announcement plays, the audio system
uses TA volume. To increase TA volume, touch the VOL
button on your steering wheel or use the VOL up or down
buttons during the announcement. See “Voice Guidance
Volume Settings” underSetup Menu on page 4-7for
more information.
When a traffic announcement comes on the current radio
station or a related network station, you will hear it even if
the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the audio
system tunes to a related network station for a traffic
announcement, it will return to the original station when
the announcement is nished. If the CD player was being
used, the CD will stay in the player and resume play at
the point where it stopped.

station has a message, MSG will appear on the display.

message. If the whole message does not appear on the
display, parts of the message will appear every three
seconds until the message is completed. Once the
complete message has been displayed, MSG will
disappear from the display until another new message
is received. MSG will remain available to allow you
to display the entire message again.
PTY:PTY allows you to seek only stations with types
of programs you want to listen to. This button is used to

are on, the audio system will search for stations with
traffic announcements and the selected PTY.
PTY (Program Type) Presets:The six presets let you
return to your favorite PTYs. These presets have
factory PTY preset stations. See “RDS Program Type

ALERT:This type of announcement warns of national or
