Tuning a Station

Direct Tune

Access Direct Tune by touching TUNE on the infotainment display to bring up the keypad. Navigate up and down through all frequencies or directly enter a station using the keypad. When a new station is entered, the information about that station displays on the right side. This information will update with each new valid frequency tuned.

The keypad will gray out entries that do not contribute to a valid frequency and will automatically place a decimal point within the frequency number.

A valid station will automatically tune to the new frequency but not close the Direct Tune window. Touch the Back icon on the infotainment display or touch Exit to close the Direct Tune window.

The tune arrows on the right side of the Direct Tune display tunes through the complete station list one station step at a time per touch. A touch and hold advances 10 frequency steps per second.

In AM-FM modes, touch the left or right arrows on the infotainment display for the radio to go to the next or previous strong station. Touch Direct Tune to advance to the next or previous frequency step in AM or FM mode or directly enter or tune to the frequency on the keypad.

HD radio multicast stations cannot be tuned directly through the Direct Tune feature. Only the analog or HD1 station can use that feature. Use the TUNE icon on the infotainment display to adjust to the multicast stations.
