As opposed to the road information fl ashes broadcast by an FM station during its nor-mal programming (see the TA function in RDS), the TMC (Traffi c Message Channel) messages are coded and not audible. TMC fi lters the information that is of interest to you and broadcasts it in the language selected in your NaviDrive, even in a foreign country where the language of the local radio is not your own.The availability of such information depends on the country and on the region where you are travelling.This information is displayed in a superim-posed window and by symbols on the map (colour display). It be read out by the voice synthesiser.
Remark :The volume of the voice synthesiser can be adjusted in the menu “TMC Traffi c Informa-tion” and by moving control C while the TMC traffi c information is being heard.The messages contain for example : A date and time of transmission, the nature of the traffi c incident, its location, plus the name and direction of the traffi c artery concerned.The messages are classed according to the distance of the incident from your vehicle. This list is updated approximately every 15 minutes.
To receive and view this traffi c information, it is necessary to insert the navigation CD-ROM , to activate TMC traffi c information, to select a type of incident and a type of geographical fi ltering.Selection of an FM radio station broad-casting RDS-TMC traf fi c information is automatic. If you want to select a different station, you must use the menu “Filter-ing of TMC information” then “Choice of TMC station”.
Remarks :The multifunction screen displays the “T M C” sy m b o l a s s o o n a s a s t a t i o n broadcasting TMC information is being received.When the FM station selected cannot broadcast the TMC information, the “TMC” symbol will be barred on a monochrome screen and shaded on a colour screen.Depending on the station selected, the traf fi c information may be more or less complete and precise, or cover a larger or smaller area. Each radio station is individually responsible for the quality of the information that it broadcasts.
