EON (Enhanced Other Network) system (for traffic announcement function)
If the RDS station (with EON data) you are listening to is not broadcasting a traf-
fic information program and the audio system is in the TA (traffic announce-
ment) mode, the radio will be switched automatically to a station broadcasting a
traffic information program in the EON AF list when traffic information begins.

rounding objects, such as trains, transmitters, etc.

ble.
The radio antenna is mounted inside the rear window. To maintain clear radio
reception, do not attach metallic window tinting or other metallic objects to the
antenna wire mounted inside the rear window.
