Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data System (RDS). The
RDS feature is available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. This system relies upon
receiving specic information from these stations and
only works when the information is available.While the radio is tuned to an FM-RDS station, the
station name or call letters displays. In rare cases, a
radio station could broadcast incorrect information
that causes the radio features to work improperly. If this
happens, contact the radio station.
Playing the Radio
O
(Power/Volume):Press to turn the system on
and off.
Turn clockwise or counterclockwise to increase or
decrease the volume.
Noise Compensation Technology:Your vehicle has a
Bose
®Audio System. It includes Bose AudioPilot®noise
compensation technology. When turned on, AudioPilot®
continuously adjusts the audio system equalization, to
compensate for background noise, so that music always
sounds the same at the set volume level.
This feature is most effective at lower radio volume
settings where background noise can affect how well the
music is heard. At higher volume settings, where the
music is much louder than the background noise, there
might be little or no adjustments by AudioPilot
®.
