Displaying TMC traffic reports
TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance when
there are traffic disruptions » page 36, Dynamic route guidance with TMC use
■ TMC - displays a list of current traffic reports Press one of the traffic reports to
view details of the traffic message selected from the list.
Traffic disruptions are indicated by a corresponding symbol on the map: The di-
rection, in which the traffic disruption is found on the map, is displayed in colour.
A traffic disruption that is located on the calculated route is marked by a coloured
traffic event button. If there is no traffic disruption on the route, the button is
grey. Note
■ 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. ■ TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation sys-
tem when navigation data are available for the driven area.
■ The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traffic
reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for the
content. ■ TMC traffic reports are necessary for the dynamic route guidance.
■ 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. Ð
