Radio Data Systems
Radio Data Systems (RDS) and Traffic
Announcements (TA)
Jaguar sound systems are equipped with
Radio Data System (RDS) which assists in
locating and remaining tuned to a
selected radio station. When tuned to
certain stations on the FM waveband, the
radio decodes signals transmitted, to
provide the following functions
(dependent upon the service available):
• When RDS is selected the station
name is displayed in eight characters.
• Automatic re-tuning to follow network
stations:
RDS provides fully automatic radio
tuning for network stations. It tunes to
a signal not a frequency. RDS will
locate the strongest signal available
for a given station.
• RDS will automatically switch
frequencies (AF Switching) as
necessary. This function can be
toggled off and on by pressing and
holding the AM/FM button.
• RDS Station/Programme type display
and search:
RDS displays information on the type
of material broadcast by the station or
programme that is on e.g. News,
Classical, Rock etc. In addition to
this function, the radio can search for
a selected programme type.
• RDS Priority programme type auto
re-tuning (where broadcast):
Similar to Traffic Announcement this
can be selected to interrupt and
switch to the selected programme
type e.g. News, for its duration.
• Local radio station Traffic Information
(where broadcast):
RDS provides travel information
relevant to the vehicle location. On
learning of a traffic problem, the
authorities inform the nearest local
radio station.
The traffic announcement (TA) is then
broadcast by transmitters in the
relevant area.
Provided TA has been selected, traffic
announcements will interrupt radio,
cassette tape or CD/MD play, on all
equipment with the RDS feature. If the
volume control is set at minimum it will
automatically increase to an audible level
for the duration of the traffic news flash.
When the traffic announcement has been
completed, the system reverts to the
driver’s original listening choice and
volume setting.
