Timeshift
The Timeshift feature automatically
begins recording the audio when
listening to the radio.
The recording allows playback of
content that was missed.
Timeshift stores up to 20 minutes of
content. After 20 minutes, it
removes the oldest content and
continues recording new content.
While listening to the radio, press
k to stop hearing the information
through the speaker. During this
paused time, timeshift keeps
recording. A status bar displays the
length of the recording.
To resume listening to the broadcast
at the point left off, press
k again.
Timeshift stops recording and
erases the buffer when the vehicle
is turned off or the station or source
is changed.
Before turning the vehicle off, press
k so that timeshift keeps recording
for 20 minutes. If the vehicle is still
off after 20 minutes, the system
stops recording and all information
is lost. If a low battery condition
occurs, timeshift stops recording
and all information is erased.
Radio Data System (RDS)
The audio system has a Radio Data
System (RDS). RDS features are
available for use only on FM
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 could
broadcast incorrect information that
causes the radio features to work
improperly. If this happens, contact
the radio station.
The RDS system is always on.
When information is broadcast from
the current FM station, the station
name or call letters display on the
audio screen. RDS can provide a
program type (PTY) for current
programming and the name of the
program being broadcasted.
