How HD Radio
™
Technology
broadcasting works
HD Radio works similarly to conventional radio
and broadcasts of this type are available in many
areas of the United States. However, there are a
few key differences:
•
Instead of transmitting one analogue signal,
stations send out a bundled signal – both
analogue and digital.
•
An HD Radio receiver can receive both digi-
tal and analogue broadcasts. Depending on
the terrain and location of the vehicle (which
will influence the signal strength), the
receiver will determine which signal to
receive.

Switching HD Radio on and off
The factory setting for HD Radio is off .
Switching HD on or off
When listening to an HD Radio station and driv-
ing through areas with weak HD signals (fringe
areas), you may experience that the radio repeat-
edly switches between analogue/digital and digi-
tal/analogue reception. If this happens, it may be
desirable to switch HD off.
To do so:
1. Be sure the infotainment system is switched
on and in AM or FM mode.
2. To access the settings menu from the center
display's Home view, pull down Top view and
tap
AM/FM radio .
Go to Adjust settings for media .
3. Tap the AM HD Radio or FM HD Radio box
to select/deselect this function.
This will disable the radio's capability to receive
digital broadcasts but it will continue to function
as a conventional (analogue) AM/FM receiver.
Please note that when HD is switched off, it will
not be possible to tune to sub-channels (see the
article "HD Radio subchannels" for a more
detailed explanation of sub-channels).
Please note that this will only switch HD Radio
on or off (selecting or deselecting the function)
only affects the selected waveband.
