RDS and radio textIf the RDS service is available and the quality of reception is good enough, the
station name may be displayed in Radio mode ⇒fig. 15 .
Automatic station tracking
Some FM stations broadcast different content (temporary or permanent) on
different wavelengths using the same name depending on the region.
By default, automatic station tracking always switches to the currently
selected radio station's frequency that offers the best reception, as the
vehicle travels from one area to the next. As a result, you may lose the
regional programme you are listening to. The automatic change of station can
be deleted using the setting menu Radio ⇒ page 19.
Display and delete the radio text
Some RDS-enabled stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text. It is possible to adjust the display to show radio text.•In the RADIO main menu, press the unit button.
