Selecting a PTY

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Cadillac STS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The LEVEL + or - buttons can be used to scroll through the list of available program types (PTY). Press the PTY button, followed by the LEVEL + or - buttons to scroll through the available program types. When the desired PTY is shown on the display, press the TUNE/SEEK or SCAN button twice. The radio will seek the next station of that type.
