RDS
Overview of the RDS
function
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting
service that allows FM stations to send
additional digital information along with the
regular radio programme signal. Your car
stereo offers you a variety of services. Here are
just a few: retuning the same programme
automatically, listening to traffic
announcements, and locating a station by
programme type.
Notes
• Depending on the country or region, not all of
the RDS functions are available.
• RDS may not work properly if the signal strength
is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not
transmitting RDS data.

programme automatically
— Alternative Frequencies (AF)
The Alternative Frequencies (AF) function
automatically selects and retunes the station
with the strongest signal in a network. By
using this function, you can continuously
listen to the same programme during a long-
distance drive without having to retune the
station manually.
