The traffic is getting denser. For this reason, information on the current road and
traffic conditions will continue to gain in importance.
TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance whenthere are traffic disruptions.
The device can obtain this information from the following sources:
› Traffic programme TP in the FM frequency range
» page 26.
› Traffic programme in the DAB frequency range
› TMC traffic information with a dynamic adjustment for the current route
The following conditions are required for the correct TMC function:
The vehicle is within reception range of the FM RDS-TMC.
Adequate and uninterrupted signal reception of a traffic information station 1)
.
Current navigation data in the device.

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 thecontent.
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., 

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.
