7.8.2.5. DAB and Radio Data System (RDS)operation (where fitted)
The RDS is a system through which encoded digital information is transmitted by FM radio stations in addition to the normal FM radio broadcasting. The RDS provides information services such as station name, traffic information, or news.
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast):
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a standard for digital radio broadcast.
Various information selected by the driver (Travel, Warning, News, Weather, Sport, etc.) can be received and will be provided to the driver.
Occasionally, in areas of poor DAB signal strength, the full station name in the DAB List and DAB main screen might be distorted. In this situation it may still be possible to listen to the particular radio station, at a reduced level of sound quality, but this is not always possible.
When in DAB mode, operation is similar to FM mode but may slightly differ.
In some countries or regions, some of these services may not be available.
Alternative Frequency (AF) mode
The AF mode operates in the FM (radio) mode.
The AF mode operates in the FM (radio), and will continue to operate in the background if any media source is selected.
The AF function compares signal strengths and selects the station with the optimum reception conditions for the currently tuned-in station.
