Chevrolet Corvette Navigation System - 2011
20 Infotainment System
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 do the following:
.
Seek to stations broadcasting
the selected type of
programming
.
Receive announcements
concerning local and national
emergencies
.
Display messages from radio
stations
.
Seek to stations with traffic
announcements
RDS (Radio Data System): Press
RDS to use alternate RDS functions
located in the preset menu. After
pressing RDS, quickly choose
RDS ON/OFF, TA, INFO, PTY,
or Select PTY. If a selection is
not made, the system returns
to the previous menu.
If tuned to a station broadcasting
RDS information, the station's
Program Service (PS) and Program
Type (PTY) replaces the station's
frequency on the status line at the
top of the display. After about
five seconds, if available, the PTY
is replaced on the display by the
station's PTY name. The PTY and
PTY name can be the same or
different.
If the audio system is tuned to a
station that is not broadcasting RDS
information, the station's frequency
remains on the display.
The RDS feature relies upon
receiving specific information from
RDS stations. These features only
work when RDS information is
available.
TA (Traffic Announcement):
Press TA to receive traffic
announcements. TA displays
if the current station broadcasts
traffic announcements. If the current
station does not broadcast traffic
announcements, the audio system
seeks to a station that does and
stops. If no station is found,
TA turns off.
While a traffic announcement plays,
the audio system uses TA volume.
To increase TA volume, use the
VOL up or down buttons during
the announcement. See “Voice
Guidance Volume Settings” under
Navigation Set Up on page 61
for more information.
When a traffic announcement
comes on the current radio station,
it can be heard even if the volume
is muted or a CD is playing. If the
CD player was being used, the CD
stays in the player and resumes
play at the point where it stopped.
Press RDS followed by TA again to
turn TA off.
