Using the RDS
(radio data system)
function on FM
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 non-audible
data in addition to the broadcas
ting of their programmes. The data
provides access to various functions
described in this chapter, such as:
display of the station name, inter-
mittent traffic information flashes or
automatic scanning of stations. This
enables you to continue listening to
your chosen radio station, regard-
less of the different frequencies it
uses in the regions through which
you are travelling
.
Scanning of RDS stations
Your radio keeps the best pos-
sible reception by continuously
looking for any other frequencies
on which the selected radio sta-
tion is broadcast, automatically
choosing the frequency offering
the best reception (providing the
station broadcasts on more than
one transmitter or frequency).

RDS system without frequency
search.
