TMC Status and Quality
Using TMC offers you an additional function to allow you to dynamically avoid
traffic jam. During navigation the system regularly accesses the latest TMC traffic
information in the background; provided that this information is available in the
part of the country you are in.
TMC reception information can be made visible in the status bar.
Tap Settings and tap TMC to switch TMC reception On or Off.
Traffic information is depending on several conditions e.g. TMC is switched On, the
traffic information is known and send by the provider, the information can be re-
ceived.
When you set TMC On and there is no reception, a red checkmark is shown. When you re-
ceive TMC, the name of the provider is shown green in the status bar. If TMC is switched Off,
no provider is shown and a narrow line is visible.
When TMC is switched On and you receive traffic information, the status bar also vis-
ualises the delay time. For example caused by traffic jam or road works. This is indicat-
ed by the colour of the hourglass:
Red There is TMC information and delay time
Green There is TMC information but no delay time
Grey TMC is not available or switched off (only for traffic product version)
When TMC is switched On and there is a traffic jam on your route, a pop up icon ap-
pears in the left corner on the map display screen. Tap this icon and a list of detailed
information appears.
TMC-antenna To receive TMC messages, the antenna provided with the package
must be connected to the traffic system version. The antenna with suckers should be
