Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) -HU- 803 only

This feature, which may not work in your area, functions only with FM broadcasts. The HU-803 radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made available for several new and unique features.
The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation of these functions.
Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system.

Traffic information (TP) -HU- 803 only

Push the "TP" button for traffic information from RDS stations. "TP" is displayed when the function is connected.

When the bulletin is finished the unit immediately returns to the previously set volume and continues playing the cassette or CD.

To turn the TP function off, press the TP button. TP is no longer shown in the display.
