RADIO DATA SYSTEM (RDS)
Options menu overview
Your radio is equipped with Radio Data System
(RDS), which enables the audio unit to receive
additional inform ation with normal FM radio
signals.
When tuned to certai n stations on the FM
waveband, the radi o decodes signals
transmitted to provide the functions listed
below (dependent upon th e service available
from the broadcasters).
Note: Not all FM radio stat ions broadcast RDS
information. If you are currently tuned to a
non-RDS station, then RDS features will be
unavailable.
Select Settings to display the Settings menu,
then select Options to display the list of RDS
options.
Traffic
RDS provides local trav el information (where
broadcast). See TRAFFIC INFORMATION
CONTROL (page 276).
Regionalisation (REG)
As you drive into different radio reception
areas, RDS automatically retunes the radio to
the strongest signal. The Regional (REG)
option stops the system from tuning to another
local radio station wi th a stronger signal.
From the Options menu, you can switch the
REG option On or Off . With REG on, your
selected local radio st ation will remain tuned
even if reception levels drop.
Alternative frequency (AF)
Some radio stations broadcast on different
frequencies in different parts of the country. If
the selected station signal weakens, the radio
will automatically re -tune to a stronger
alternative frequency (AF) , if one is available
(this feature is partic ularly useful on long
journeys where the vehicle travels through
different transmitter areas serving the same
radio station).
From the Options menu, you can switch AF On
or Off .
Enhanced other networks (EON)
The Enhanced Other Network (EON) option will
tune to any radio station on the same station
network as the one that you are listening to, if
the signal becomes weak.
Either local ( Local) or distant ( Dist.) networks
can be enabled on the Options menu, or the
option can be switched Off.
