Displaying TMC traffic reports TMC traffic reports are used during route guidance, depending on the set-up for
the automatic optimization of the route, to report possible traffic problems.
You can browse through all the traffic information received in the detailed display,
in sequence by using the function keys.

Traffic problems are illustrated in the detailed display and in the map by a corre-
sponding symbol. The direction, in which the traffic problem is found in the map, is
displayed in colour. A traffic problem which is located on the route (in direction of
travel) is marked in red, a traffic problem in the opposite direction is marked in
grey. Note
● The unit has a continuous background of TMC traffic reports providing a TMC
station at the current location can be received. The station you are listening to
does not have to be a TMC station.
● TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the navigation system
when navigation data are available for the driven area.
● The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traffic
announcements. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible
for the content.
● TMC traffic reports are necessary for the dynamic navigation.
● Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested. Ð40
