The RDS function (Radio Data System) is
always activated in the radio navigation
system.
There is an increasing number of radio
stations which broadcast RDS information
together with their programs; this infor-
mation is received and evaluated by the
RDS receiver. Among others, this includes
the station name and radio traffic infor-
mation of the selected station.

Through the alternative frequency func-
tion, the set automatically selects the fre-
quency of best reception for the selected
station.
The radio may be briefly mute during the
frequency search.
If the set is not able to find an alternative
frequency for the selected station and the
reception is not of sufficient quality, tune
into another station.

Apart from their program, some radio sta-
tions regularly broadcast codified traffic
announcements through their traffic news
channel. Your navigation receives the
news and can use it for a dynamic route
guidance (see D

At certain times, some stations broadcast
regional programs.
The set will first try to only select alterna-
tive frequencies of the selected station.
The set will, however, accept frequencies
from a sister channel when the quality is
so poor that the program could be "lost".
As these channels broadcast different
programs at certain hours, by changing
frequency you may be listening to a differ-
ent program.

Theoretically, station switching is only
provided for the same programs. When
the reception is very poor, it may auto-
matically switch to another station of the
same regional programs channel.
