What is the RDS? RDS station following T r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n f u n c t i o n
Your radio automatically checks
and selects the best frequency
for the radio station to which it is
tuned (if the station broadcasts on sev-
eral transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers ap-
proximately 30 miles (50 km). The change
from one frequency to another explains
the loss of reception during a journey.
If the station to which you are listen-
ing does not have several frequencies
in the region in which you are currently
located, you can deactivate the auto-
matic frequency following.
Radio, RDS, AF, REG, TP, PTY
The Radio Data System (RDS) func-
tion on the FM waveband permits:
- tuning to the same station while
travelling through different regions
(if the transmitters of this station
cover the area through which you
are travelling),
- t e m p o r a r y t u n i n g t o t r a f fi c i n f o r m a - tion announcements,
- access to the displaying of the name of the station, etc...
Most FM stations use the RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible
data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
t e m p o r a r y t u n i n g t o t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n
announcements or automatic station
following.
The RDS allows you to continue listen-
ing to the same station by means of the
frequency following. However, in cer-
tain conditions, this RDS frequency fol-
lowing cannot be provided throughout
the country. Radio stations do not cover
the whole country, which explains the
loss of reception of the station during
a journey. T h e T r a f fi c P r o g r a m ( T P ) f u n c t i o n
permits automatic and temporary
switching to an FM station broad-
c a s t i n g t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n .
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
O n c e t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n h a s e n d e d ,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were lis-
tening to initially.
Regional following mode Some stations are organised in
a network.
In different regions, they broad-
cast different or shared programmes
depending on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibility that you will be listening to a different
programme. Programme types

listening to a themed type of pro-
gramme as a priority, selected
