TIM
TIM - Traffic Information Memory
The device is equipped with a digital speech memory, which can automati- cally record up to four traffic messages. The maximum duration for recorded messages is four minutes.
If the TIM function is activated, the de- vice records all the traffic information messages that it receives during the two hours after it was last switched off. In addition, you can set two fixed timers. The device records all the traffic mes- sages that it receives from the tuned traffic information station 30 minutes before and 90 minutes after the set time. This feature is particularly useful if you generally use your car at fixed times.
All the messages are deleted if the last message is older than six hours.
If a new traffic message arrives whilst a TIM is being played, playback will be interrupted and the new message re- corded.
Risk of damage to the electric antenna in a car wash.
Your car’s automatic electric anten- na will remain extended if TIM is ac- tivated and you turn off the device. Damage might result if the car an- tenna remains extended whilst in a carwash. For further details, read the section entitled “Switching off TIM”.
