FM traffic radio

Displaying traffic obstructions
Note
A TMC radio station transmits free-of-
charge TMC traffic reports in addition to
the radio programme. The TMC traffic ra-
dio receiver can receive current TMC
traffic reports and take them into consid-
eration for dynamic route guidance. The
navigation 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-related list of all traffic obstruc-
tions on the remaining part of the
route is displayed.
Notes
With Navi Mode Attend TMC
activated, traffic obstructions reported
via the TMC traffic radio receiver are
avoided automatically.

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

list.
Further details are displayed.
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 calcu-
lates 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 calcu-
lates an alternative route.
You can receive traffic information using
the TMC traffic radio receiver. If there are
TMC traffic messages, coloured arrows are
displayed along the course of the traffic
jam:

• Yellow arrows: slow-moving traffic.
• Red arrows: stop-and-go or stopped
traffic.
