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 announcements.
This system relies upon receiving specic information
from these stations and works only when the information
is available. In rare cases, a radio station can broadcast
incorrect information that causes the radio features
to work improperly. If this happens, contact the radio
station.
While the radio is tuned to an RDS station, the station
