RDS uses PI (program identification) signal and AF (alternative frequency) list transmitted in addition to the normal FM broadcasting programs, and picks up the
FM
stations that are transmitting the same program from the EON (enhanced other network) and automatically tunes to the station with the strongest signal intensity.
Therefore, you can continue listening to one program in, for example, a long distance driving without retuning to the other station transmitting the same program
when you are leaving the service area of the currently receiving station.
The RDS radio also features the limited reception of the program types, the break-in reception of the traffic announcement and emergency broadcast, and the limited/
unlimited reception of the regional programs. For pleasant driving

CD-R/RW discs recorded on CD recorders
(CD-R/RW drives), either due to their record-
ing characteristics or dirt, fingerprints,
scratches, etc. on the disc surface.
l CD-R/RW discs are less resistant to high tem-
peratures and high humidity than ordinary mu-
sic CDs. Leaving them inside a vehicle for ex-
tended periods may damage them and make
playback impossible. l

Hinges and latches lubrication
Check
all latches and hinges, and lubricate if neces-
sary by first cleaning and then applying multipur-
pose grease. For cold and snowy weather
E01002800286
Ventilation slots
The
ventilation slots in front of the windscreen
should be kept clear of leaves or brushed clear after
a heavy snowfall, so that the operation of the heat-
ing and ventilation systems will not be impaired.
Weatherstripping
To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping on the
doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with sili-
cone grease.
Additional equipment
It is a good idea to carry a shovel or a short-han-
dled spade in the vehicle during the winter so that
you can clear away snow if you get stranded. A
small hand-brush for sweeping snow off the vehi-
cle and a plastic scraper for the windscreen and
rear window are also useful. Fusible links
E01002900173
The
fusible links will melt to prevent a fire if a
large current attempts to flow through certain elec-
trical systems.
