If you have missed a turn-off during  route guidance and there is no other 
opportunity to turn at that moment, cont inue driving until the navigation system 
offers you an alternative route.
•
The quality of the messages transmitte d by the unit depends on the available 
navigation data and, during  traffic problems, also on the available traffic reports. 
The radio stations broadcasting the traffic reports are responsible for the content 
and quality of the available traffic reports.

 Automatic
If the dynamic navigati on system is set to Automatic and you are in tour guidance 
mode, you will automa tically be guided ⇒page 57, “Requirements for a dynamic 
route guidance” around the announced  traffic problem on your route.
After input of relevant traffic information  for your route you will be advised of the 
change in the current route guidance by means of an acoustic message. You will 
automatically be guided around announced  traffic jams or blocked roads, if this 
saves time. Such announcements will take place if a 
traffic problem affects the original route 
calculation, the traffic problem has been  solved and the navigation system can see 
only one possibility of driving the actually most advantagous route.
Requirements for a dynamic route guidance
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data service for  continuous trans-
mission of traffic information.
The unit has a continuous background of  TMC traffic reports providing a TMC 
station at the current location can be received.
The quality of the transmitted traffic reports depends on the broadcast editing 
carried out by the radio station. The rece ption of the TMC traffic reports cannot be 
switched on or off.
The station you are listening to does not have to be a TMC station.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and displayed by the unit if the navigation 
data for the currently driven area is stored  in the unit memory or can be called up 
via an inserted navigation DVD.
The current TMC traffic reports can be di splayed by pressing the selector key 
.
Note
•
There may not be any advantantage in avoiding the traffic jam if, as a result of 
the TMC traffic reports, the dive rsion is also heavily congested.
•
You can manually block the information for  the route in front of you if a traffic 
problem ahead has not yet been included in the TMC traffic reports  ⇒page 58.
