FM traffic radio

Displaying traffic obstructions

If there are any traffic announcements, these can be called up in the Navigation menu under the menu item TMC. If there are no traffic announcements, this menu item cannot be selected.

Note

A TMC traffic radio station transmits TMC traffic reports in addition to the radio program. The TMC traffic radio receiver can receive current TMC traffic reports and take them into consideration for dynamic route guidance. The naviga- tion system is thus able to re-route around a traffic jam, for example. There may be differences between the reports received and the actual traffic situation.

1.Select TMC in the navigation menu.

When route guidance is active, a route-re- lated list of all traffic obstructions on the remaining part of the route is displayed.

Note

With Navi Mode Monitor

traffic activated, traffic obstruc- tions reported via the TMC traffic radio receiver are avoided automatically.

With route guidance inactive, a list of all reported traffic obstructions is dis- played.

2.Select a traffic obstruction from the list. Further details are displayed.

Note

If the information consists of more than one page, the page number is shown in the upper right. Slide omp to scroll through the pages.

Detouring around other traffic obstructions

If there is a traffic obstruction on the cur- rent route for which there is no TMC traffic message, the route can be blocked manu- ally. The Universal Media Interface calcula- tes a new route to drive around the traffic obstruction.

1.Select Navi in the navigation menu.

2.Select Detour.

3.Select Less and More to set the length of the block.

4.Select Start.

The Universal Media Interface calcula- tes an alternative route.

You can receive traffic information using the TMC traffic radio receiver. If there are TMC traffic messages, colored arrows are displayed along the course of the traffic jam:

•Yellow arrows: slow-moving traffic.

•Red arrows: stop-and-go or stationary traffic.
