While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP ⇒ Fig. 9), traffic announce-ments will interrupt the current Audio mode.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if a traffic newsstation is available.
Some stations that do not broadcast their own traffic news support the TPfunction through a link to a traffic news station (EON). Traffic announce-ments broadcast by the linked traffic news station interrupt the current au-dio mode.

If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station searchusing the SEEK /... rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 1 ⇒ page 11.
During a station search with the SEEK / ... rocker switch or the scan func-tion (SCAN), the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
If you activate the TP function in areas where TP is not available, it will be-gin to search for traffic news stations but it will not be able find any. Thesearch will finish on the last station you were listening to. The TP functionremains switched on (display: No TP). We recommend you deactivate the TPfunction, otherwise in the next station search with the SEEK / ... rockerswitch no stations will be found.
