Introduction
RDS (Radio Data System) is a radio data service for broadcasting pro-
gramme and additional service identifiers, and displaying station names
and radio text, automatic station tracking and traffic programmes.
The RDS is not compatible with all equipment and is not available every-
where or on all radio stations.
Without RDS it is not possible to use the RDS radio services .

If the RDS service is available and the quality of reception is good enough,
the station name may be displayed in Radio mode ⇒ fig. 16.
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 se-
lected 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 pro-
gramme you are listening to. The automatic change of station can be de-
leted 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.
While radio text is switched on is shown at the top right of the screen.

view freezes, it is currently not possible to determine the vehicle's position,
e.g. in a multi-storey car park.
During route guidance the navigation route is shown as a blue line. Sec-
tions closed to traffic either manually or due to TMC messages advising of
traffic congestion ⇒ page 72 are shown in colour on the calculated route.
