Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has an RDS.
RDS features are available for use
only on FM and DAB stations that
broadcast RDS information. With
RDS, the radio can:
.Seek to stations broadcasting
the selected type of
programming
.Receive announcements
concerning local and national
emergencies
.Display messages from radio
stations
This system relies on receiving
specific information from these
stations and only works when the
information is available. In rare
cases, a radio station may
broadcast incorrect information that
causes the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact
the radio station.
The RDS is always on. When
information is broadcast from the
current FM station, the station name
or call letters display on the audio
screen. RDS may provide a
program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the
program being broadcast.
When RDS signal information has
been detected, the metadata fields
will be updated on the screen
display to show the RDS data. The
radio text will be updated any time
new information is received.
The RDS fields on the screen will
show in the order of:
.Frequency and /or RDS-PSN.
.RDS text line one is the
information provided by the
broadcast.
.RDS text line two and three is
RDS text. Line three is used only
if necessary, to wrap over from
the text on line two.
If the RDS text information
overflows from line two and three,
the previous information given on
line two and three will clear. The
overflow of information will finish
starting from the previously used
line two and then if necessary, line
three.
If an RDS text update occurs during
the paging, the display fields are
cleared and the new information is
displayed, beginning on line two.
Once the entire broadcast text is
finished paging, the amount of text
that can fit in lines two and three will
be displayed and an ellipsis will
indicate further text exists.

Radio 13
RDS Traffic Volume Setting
Traffic alert volume can be adjusted
by turning the volume up or down
while the alert is playing. The
system will store this setting for
future traffic alerts.
If the current source is playing at a
higher volume than the traffic alert
volume setting, the traffic alert will
play back at the current source
volume setting. If the current source
is playing at a lower volume than
the traffic alert volume setting, the
traffic alert will play at the volume
set for traffic.
Once an alert is complete, the
system volume returns to its
previously set level prior to the
traffic alert.
If the traffic alert volume is set to
zero during an alert, the next traffic
alert will play at the minimum
connection volume level.
If stations or sources are switched
during a traffic alert, the current
traffic alert will be cancelled.
If the RDS On/Off option is set to
Off, and the Traffic Program (TP) is
set to On, a traffic alert will
automatically override the Off
setting and place the RDS mode
to On.
The default station list is sorted by
RDS stations first, in order of signal
strength, and followed by non-RDS
stations grouped at the end of
the list.
Stations that support traffic
programming are marked TP and
show on the right side of the
line item.
Timeshifting (If Equipped)
The audio system can record live
radio for up to 25 minutes. When
tuned to a station, the system
automatically begins recording the
audio along with the associated
metadata. Timeshift must be turned
on in the menu before recording can
take place.
Touch jto pause playback of the
audio and to initiate timeshift mode.
Touch rto resume playback of the
live audio.
When timeshifting begins, a time is
indicated on the right of the play/
pause indicator. This time initially
indicates the time of day at which
playback is paused. This time
continues to show as long as the
system is in a paused mode and the
buffer continues to fill.
Buffer Reset
The buffer will reset anytime the
broadcast band or stations/channels
are changed. Changing to a media
source while in pause mode will not
reset the buffer.

Skipping Back in a Broadcast
For programs with metadata,
touching the previous button less
than five seconds into a program
will make the system skip to the
beginning of the previous program.
If more than five seconds into the
current song/program, the system
starts at the beginning of the current
program. If no metadata is available,
the system skips back 30 seconds.
Reaching the End of the Buffer
If the audio is paused and the
25 minute buffer is reached, the
buffer continues recording the latest
content and will erase the oldest
content. When playback is started,
the content played will be the last
25 minutes in the buffer.
Radio Reception
Unplug electronic devices from the
accessory power outlets if there is
interference or static in the radio.
FM
FM signals only extend about 16 to
65 km (10 to 40 mi). Although the
radio has a built-in electronic circuit
that automatically works to reduce
interference, some static can occur,
especially around tall buildings or
hills, causing the sound to fade in
and out.
AM
The range for most AM stations is
greater than for FM, especially at
night. The longer range can cause
station frequencies to interfere with
each other. Static can also occur
when things like storms and power
lines interfere with radio reception.
When this happens, try reducing the
treble on the radio.
Mobile Phone Usage
Mobile phone usage, such as
making or receiving phone calls,
charging, or just having the phone
on may cause static interference in
the radio. Unplug the phone or turn
it off if this happens.

Backglass Aerial
The AM-FM aerial is integrated with
the rear window demister in the rear
window. Do not scratch the inside
surface or damage the lines in the
glass. If the inside surface is
damaged, it could interfere with
radio reception. For proper radio
reception, the aerial connector
needs to be properly attached to the
post on the glass.
If attaching a mobile phone aerial to
the glass, attach it between the grid
lines.
Caution
Using a razor blade or sharp
object to clear the inside rear
window can damage the rear
window aerial and/or the rear
window defogger. Repairs would
not be covered by the vehicle
warranty. Do not clear the inside
rear window with sharp objects.
Caution
Do not apply aftermarket glass
tinting with metallic film. The
metallic film in some tinting
materials will interfere with or
distort the incoming radio
reception. Any damage caused to
the backglass aerial due to
metallic tinting materials will not
be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
Multi-Band Aerial
The roof aerial is for the GPS
(Global Positioning System). Keep
clear of obstructions for clear
reception. If the vehicle has a
sunroof, and it is open, reception
can also be affected.
