RBDS functions HU-650/HU-850
Radio Broadcast Data System - RBDS
This feature, which may not be available in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The radio in your vehicle is
equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together
with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique
features.
The RBDS or Radio Broadcast 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 technology and benefits grow, you will find the
radio in your vehicle is equipped to take advantage of this system.
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 selected 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, "PI seek" will be displayed and there will
be no sound.
PI seek can be interrupted by pressing EXIT.
Radio text
Certain RBDS stations broadcast program information, which can be shown in the display. The text will be shown
twice in the display.

Press the FM button for several seconds.
To deactivate this function:
Press FM briefly.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic II - HU-850 only
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is a further development of the previous version of the system and provides enhanced
sound quality. The improved sound is particularly apparent to passengers in the rear seat.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II, together with a center speaker in the dashboard, offers you a sound experience very
close to a live performance. The normal left-right stereo channels are divided to left-center -right. In addition, surround
sound is produced by the rear speakers. This surround sound mirrors the ambience of a concert hall.

800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).
- Using two hands, push and hold both your hand -held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to
program.
The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the HomeLink® button has been
successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
- If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to
"Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.
Repeat the third and fourth steps to program the other two transceiver buttons. If, after several attempts, you are unable
to successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn your hand -held transmitter's signal, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
)
pg. 230 Specifications
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
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 that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to
"stop" and "reverse" does not meet current 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
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
NOTE: Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train
HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your handheld
transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after
1996:
Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
If your hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button
does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener, follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver
button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
- Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
- Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
- Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button a
second time to complete the training process.
Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
