What is RDS?

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for provid-
ing information along with FM broadcasts. This
inaudible information provides such features as
program service name, program type, traffic
announcement standby, automatic tuning and
program type tuning, intended to aid radio lis-
teners in finding and tuning in to a desired sta-
tion.

Notes

• RDS service may not be provided by all sta-

tions.

• RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies

search) and TA (traffic announcement
standby) are only available when your radio is
tuned in to an RDS station.

• After choosing your destination, press

SOURCE

and you can listen to the guide voice

during navigation guidance.
