The majority of FM radio stations use the
RDS system. The radio in your vehicle has
this system,.
The RDS system enables these stations
to transmit nonꢀaudible data in addition to
the broadcasting of their programmes. The
data provides access to various functions
described in this chapter, such as: display of
the station name, intermittent traffic informa-
tion flashes or automatic scanning of stations.
This enables you to continue listening to
your chosen radio station, regardless of the
different frequencies it uses in the regions
through which you are travelling.
Note :
If the RDS function is active :
ꢁ The “RDS” on the display will light up
provided the station being received
uses the RDS system with scanning of
frequencies.
ꢁ The “RDS” on the display is barred if the
station received uses the RDS system
without frequency search.
If your RDS function is deactivated, the
“
RDS” on the display will be absent in all cases.
The display will indicate the “NAME” for the
stations that use the RDS system and the
frequency for stations that do not use it.
SCANNING OF RDS STATIONS
Your radio keeps the best possible recepꢀ
tion by continuously looks for any other
frequencies on which the selected radio
station is broadcast, automatically choosing
the frequency offering the best reception
(if the station broadcasts on more than one
transmitter or frequency.
