Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to the vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player, CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make sure that it can be added by checking with your dealer/retailer. Also, check federal rules covering mobile radio and telephone units. If sound equipment can be added, it is very important to do it properly. Added sound equipment can interfere with the operation of the vehicle's engine, radio, or other systems, and even damage them. The vehicle's systems can interfere with the operation of sound equipment that has been added.
Notice: The chime signals related to safety belts, parking brake, and other functions of the vehicle operate through the navigation system. If that equipment is replaced or additional equipment is added to the vehicle, the chimes may not work. Make sure that replacement or additional equipment is compatible with the vehicle before installing it. See "Accessories and Modifications" in the Index of the vehicle's owner manual.
Your vehicle has a feature called Retained Accessory Power (RAP). RAP lets the audio system play after the ignition is turned off. See "Retained Accessory Power (RAP)" in the Index of your vehicle's owner manual for more information.
The audio system operates using the navigation system menus.

This feature works best at lower volume settings where background noise may mask the audio. At higher volume settings, where the audio is much louder than the noise, there may be little or no change in the audio level. For additional information on AudioPilot, visit bose.com/audiopilot.

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 |
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): Touch 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 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. Touch RDS followed by TA again to turn TA off.INFO (Information): When RDS is on, if the current station has a message, INFO displays. Touch INFO from the preset menu to view the message. If the whole message does not display, parts of the message appears every three seconds until the message is completed. Once the complete message has been displayed, INFO disappears from the display until another new message is received. INFO remains available so that the entire message an be displayed again.
PTY (Program Type): PTY only seeks stations with certain program types. This button is used to turn on and off Program Type (PTY) features. With RDS on, touch RDS, followed by PTY. The PTY display turns on. Touch RDS followed by this button again to turn the PTY display off.
Select PTY (Select Program Type): With RDS and PTY on, touch RDS, then Select PTY. The PTY menu appears. Use the up and down arrows to select a PTY. When the PTY display is on, press TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to find radio stations of the PTY selected. The last PTY selected is used for seek and scan modes. If a station with the selected PTY is not found, STATION NOT FOUND displays. If both PTY and TA are on, the audio system searches for stations with traffic announcements and the selected PTY.
PTY (Program Type) Presets: The six presets let you return to your favorite PTYs. These presets have factory PTY preset stations. See "RDS Program Type (PTY) Selections" later in this section. Up to 12 PTYs, 6 FM1 and 6 FM2 can be set. To save a PTY preset:
- Touch FM1 or FM2.
- Touch RDS to enter the RDS menu.
- Touch RDS ON/OFF to turn RDS on.
- Touch PTY.
- Touch Select PTY and select the desired PTY from the list.
- Touch and hold one of the six presets for more than two seconds until a beep is heard. When you touch that numbered preset for less than two seconds, the set PTY returns.
- Repeat the steps for each preset.
Touch the stored PTY preset station for less than two seconds to recall it. Then use TUNE/SEEK or SCAN to locate a station for that PTY selection.
ALERT: This type of announcement warns of national or local emergencies and cannot be turned off. ALERT displays while an alert announcement plays. The audio system uses TA volume during these announcements. To increase volume, use the VOL up and down buttons during the announcement. See "Voice Guidance Volume Settings" under Navigation Set Upfor more information. When an alert announcement comes on the tuned radio station it will be heard even if the volume is muted or a CD is playing. If the CD player is playing, the player stops for the announcement and resumes when the announcement is finished.XM™ Satellite Radio Service
