Cadillac Escalade: 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:
- 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 may 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 FM station that is playing, the station name or call letters displays on the audio screen.
