Activate the radio by starting the Focus's engine or by turning the key to "Run."
Push the "Menu" button on the radio control panel repeatedly until "RDS" displays on the radio screen.
Push the "Seek/Track" button to turn on the feature.
Push the "FM" button to begin using the RBDS feature. Push "Cat/Fold" then push "Down" or "Up" to select your category. Example categories are "Rock" and "Jazz."
Push "Seek/Track" to scan for stations in the selected category.
