Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS)
This feature, which may not be available in your area, functions only wi\
th FM broadcasts.
The radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing infor\
mation from broadcasters to be
transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This info\
rmation is then decoded by the
radio and made available for several new and unique features. The RBDS or Radio Broad\
cast 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.
Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the t\
echnology and benefits grow, you
will find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this sy\
stem.
NOTE: PI (Program Information) Seek: When an FM station has been stored as \
a preset, the radio also
stores RBDS program information if it is available. When the preset is s\
elected at a later time, the radio
tries to access updated program information. In weak signal areas, there\
may be a delay before the
station becomes audible. During this delay, there will be no sound and t\
he text "PI seek. Press EXIT to
cancel." will be displayed. You may press EXIT to immediately tune in th\
e station without RBDS
program information.
Scanning - SCAN
This function automatically searches for the next strongest AM and FM st\
ations. When the radio finds a

continue scanning.

n (2).

WARNING!
- If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one \
is near the gate or door while it
is in motion.
- Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door\
opener that lacks safety
"stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (\
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener t\
hat cannot "detect" an
object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet curren\
t federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of \
serious injury or death. For
more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Interne\
t:
www.HomeLink.com).
NOTE: Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop tr\
ansmitting. To successfully
train HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the sam\
e time, repeatedly press and hold
your hand-held transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLi\
nk® has learned your
transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first sl\
owly, and then rapidly to indicate
that the button has been successfully programmed.
