Radio Data System (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 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
name or call letters display. RDS stations can also
provide the time of day, a program type (PTY) for current
programming, and the name of the program being
broadcast.
Playing the Radio
Top Knob (Power/Volume):Press to turn the system
on and off. Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to
increase or decrease the volume.
4(Information):For RDS, press to change what
display while using RDS. The display options are station
name, RDS station frequency, PTY, and the name of
the program (if available).
For XM™ (if equipped), press while in XM™ mode to
retrieve four different categories of information related to
the current song or channel: Artist, Song Title,
Category or PTY, Channel Number/Channel Name.
To change the default on the display, press until you
see the desired display, then hold for two seconds.
The radio produces one beep and the selected display
is now the default.
AUTO
n(Automatic Volume):Automatic volume
automatically adjusts the audio system to make up
for road and wind noise as you drive, by increasing the
volume as vehicle speed increases.
Set the volume at the desired level. Press this button
to select AUTO VOLUME MIN (minimum), AUTO
VOLUME MED (medium), or AUTO VOLUME MAX
(maximum). Each higher setting provides more volume
compensation at faster vehicle speeds. To turn
automatic volume off, press this until AUTO VOLUME
OFF displays.
