Radio Data Systems (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS).
RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. 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 announcementsRDS:Touch RDS to use alternate RDS functions
located 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
4-62

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 4-13for
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.
Touch RDS followed by TA again to turn TA off.
MSG (Message):When RDS is on, if the current station
has a message, MSG will appear on the display. Touch
MSG from the preset menu to view the 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 hasbeen 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
turn on and off Program Type (PTY) features.
With RDS on, touch RDS, followed by PTY. The PTY
display will turn on. Touch RDS followed by this button
again to turn the PTY display off.
Select PTY (Select Program Type):With RDS and
PTY on, touch RDS, then SEL PTY. The PTY menu will
appear. Use the up and down arrows to select a PTY.
Touch your PTY selection and the system will return
you to the screen with the preset stations shown.
See Steps 1 through 7 under “Preset Station Menu” to
store the selected PTYs. The selected PTY is then
stored on the preset. You can now touch the PTY preset
to recall your settings.
When the PTY display is on, press TUNE/SEEK and
SCAN to nd radio stations of the PTY selected. The last
PTY selected will be used for seek and scan modes.
If a station with the selected PTY is not found, NONE
FOUND will appear on the display. If both PTY and TA
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

7. Repeat the steps for each preset.
Once you have stored a PTY for each of your preset
stations, you can recall a PTY preset by touching
the preset station for less than two seconds. Then use
TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to locate a station for that
PTY selection.ALERT:This type of announcement warns of national or
local emergencies. You will not be able to turn off alert
announcements. Alert announcements will come on
even if RDS mode is turned off. ALERT appears on the
display when an alert announcement plays. The audio
system uses TA volume during these announcements.
To increase volume, touch the VOL button on your
steering wheel or use the VOL up and down buttons
during the announcement. See “Voice Guidance Volume
Settings” underSetup Menu on page 4-13for more
information. When an alert announcement comes on the
tuned 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
an alert announcement, it will return to the original station
when the announcement is nished. If the CD player is
playing, the player will stop for the announcement and
resume when the announcement is nished.
