TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance when
there are traffic disruptions.
The device can obtain this information by using the following facilities:
› Traffic TP in the FM frequency range
» page 25 .
› TP in the DAB frequency range
› TMC traffic report with dynamic adjustment of the current route option
For the correct TMC function, the following conditions are required: The vehicle is within range of the FM RDS-TMC.Adequate and uninterrupted signal reception of a traffic report station 1)
.
Current navigation data in the device.
Operation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 63.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital data service emitted by the radio sta-tion for continuous transmission of traffic information.

Press TRAFFIC to display a list of
traffic reports …/… .
Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report details » page 64.
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listening
to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traffic
reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for the
content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation sys- tem when navigation data are available for the driven area.

Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are dis-
played in the map by means of a coloured symbol (e.g., ,  ,  , etc.). Traffic
problems, which do not affect the route, are displayed in the map by means of a
grey symbol. The direction in which a traffic problem is found, is displayed by
means of an arrow in the symbol.
Dynamic route switched off
You are not alerted to received traffic disruptions along your route and are guided
through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the button TRAFFIC
.
If one of the announced traffic disruptions lies along your route, you can also
switch on the dynamic route guidance during the current route guidance or block
the route manually » page 63.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not always
offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.

following items:
■ Cancel - Cancels the stopover destination input and destination guidance to the

■ Replace - The original stopover is replaced with the destination entered and
destination guidance is initially undertaken to this destination while the final
destination remains unchanged
■ Dir. r. guid. - The destination entered is added as the final destination and the
original destinations are replaced by this new destination
If you would like to use the stopover as the final destination and the original final destination as a stopover, then select the Dir. r. guid. input and then input the
original final destination again as a stopover.
