5.2.3 RDS functions

If the selected station transmits RDS information
(radio data system), the name of the station is dis-
played instead of the frequency . Some stations show
additional information alternately with the station
name, e . g . music title, artist .
If a station offers traffic programme, TP is dis-
played . If EON (enhanced other networks) is shown
and a programme is received which currently does
not offer a traffic programme, the tuner automat-
ically switches to another programme of the same
broad casting station when traffic messages are
transmitted there . After the traffic announcement,
the unit switches back to the previous programme .
