Radio data system (RDS)
Advantages of RDS
RDS is an FM station service that
helps you find the desired station and
ensures its fault-free reception. The
RDS encodes digital information
which is transmitted in addition to the
FM radio broadcasts, providing
information such as station name,
traffic information and radio text.
With the RDS activated:
■ the programme name of the chosen
station appears on the display
instead of its frequency
■ during an automatic station search,
the Infotainment system tunes into
RDS stations only
■ the Infotainment system always
tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the
chosen station, by means of an
Alternative Frequency (AF).
RDS functions
Incorporated within the RDS are the
following information fields:
■ AF: Alternative Frequencies
■ TA: Traffic Announcements
■ TP: Traffic Programmes
■ REG: Regional programmes
■ EON: Enhanced Other Network
Also, integrated into the RDS is an
Emergency Alarm Reception
function. This function is activated
automatically and cannot be
deactivated.
