» Fig. 10 on page 14 on the multifunction steering wheel.
The timing of the navigation announcement depends on the type of road and the
driving speed. For example, on motorways the first announcement is heard about 2000 m (6000 ft) before the location of the motorway exit.
During dynamic route guidance, the unit notifies the driver of traffic problems. If a
new route is calculated due to traffic problems, the Calculating the route... an-
nouncement is sounded.
Set the output volume of the navigation announcements or mute it during a phone call » page 53.

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.

Operation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 70.
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
Traffic report …/….
Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report details » page 71.
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.
Switching dynamic route on/off
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 70.

In the navigation main menu, press 
Route options → → Dynamic route .
When the Dynamic route » page 53 function is switched on, the traffic reports in-
fluence the dynamic route guidance by means of TMC messages.
Dynamic route switched on
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 on your route, you can switch on
dynamic route guidance during your current route guidance or block the route
manually » page 69 . 
