TA FUNCTION
(TRAFFIC

the CD changer (where fitted) or
when the navigation system is on and
the TA button (4) is pressed, the ra-
dio will switch to the FM waveband in
background and activate the TA func-
tion. This will not change the sound
source and the message “TA” will ap-
pear on the display.

CHANNEL)
The TMC function is used to receive
traffic information which is then

tem in order to “guide” the driver to
the required preset destination.
Since only some stations are enabled
to provide the TMC function, it is pos-
sible that traffic information in certain
areas cannot be received.
When the “Dynamic travel guide”
function is on (see “Dynamic travel
guide” in chapter “Navigation”), the
sound/navigation system will tune au-
tomatically to a TMC station.
