timer status function, if you select timer 1, the traffic announcements are
stored for approx. two hours as of the time set by you.
You can access the recorded traffic announcements using the TP memo
control button ⇒ page 146.
When you park your vehicle, the timers will remain on for a total of 72 hours.
During these 72 hours the system will record the traffic announcements it

battery.
Recorded traffic announcements will be deleted after about six hours.
Note
•Traffic announcements can only be recorded if the Traffic programme
option in Radio Setup is set to on.•All incoming traffic news announcements will be recorded. As the system
has a limited memory capacity, all old traffic announcements are overwritten
by new ones.•To avoid draining the battery we recommend that you only activate the
timers when necessary.TMC announcements
