opportunity to turn at that moment, cont inue driving until the navigation system
offers you an alternative route.
•
The quality of the messages transmitte d by the unit depends on the available

After input of relevant traffic information for your route you will be advised of the
change in the current route guidance by means of an acoustic message. You will
automatically be guided around announced traffic jams or blocked roads, if this
saves time. Such announcements will take place if a
traffic problem affects the original route
calculation, the traffic problem has been solved and the navigation system can see
only one possibility of driving the actually most advantagous route.
Requirements for a dynamic route guidance
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data service for continuous trans-
mission of traffic information.
The unit has a continuous background of TMC traffic reports providing a TMC
station at the current location can be received.
The quality of the transmitted traffic reports depends on the broadcast editing
carried out by the radio station. The rece ption of the TMC traffic reports cannot be
switched on or off.
The station you are listening to does not have to be a TMC station.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and displayed by the unit if the navigation
data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit memory or can be called up
via an inserted navigation DVD.
The current TMC traffic reports can be di splayed by pressing the selector key
.
Note
•
There may not be any advantantage in avoiding the traffic jam if, as a result of
the TMC traffic reports, the dive rsion is also heavily congested.
•
You can manually block the information for the route in front of you if a traffic
problem ahead has not yet been included in the TMC traffic reports ⇒page 58.
