Real-time traffic information (TMC)
TMC ( Traffic Message Channel) offers real-time traffic conditions. This 
can help you to avoid traffic jams th at could not be anticipated due to 
road closures or accidents.
TMC uses a dedicated FM Radio Data  System (RDS) to broadcast real-
time traffic and weather reports.
The default settings use traffic information when searching for a route.
The TMC receiver necessary to receive traffic condition reports is built-in 
to some products, but not for others. Contact your nearest SUBARU 
dealer.
If traffic data normally broadcast in your region can be accessed, this 
received information is automatically taken into account. This does not 
need to be manually set. FM radio stations broadcasting TMC data are 
searched for automatically, and de coded information is immediately 
used to search for routes. If traffi c information that might affect the 
current route is received, a warning  is displayed indicating that the 
route will be searched for again, an d navigation continues using a new, 
optimal route taking into account the latest traffic conditions.
By delaying the timing before applying a route that has been searched 
again, the user can check the route  and fine-tune the details creating 
the optimal search results. You can se t this from Traffic settings. (See 
Page  168.) When traffic information is being received, a special icon ( ) is 
displayed on the map. When there is no traffic information available for 
the route, this icon indicates the status of the traffic information 
receiver, and when information is rece
ived, the type of upcoming traffic 
information is displayed.
Road sections affected by traffic co nditions are displayed in a different 
color on the map, and a small icon representing the type of traffic 
condition is displayed above the road.
Touch   to display the Traffic Summary screen.
