TMC traffic information

Your navigation system receives traffic information via its integrated Dynamic TMC
Receiver, which is then used for the dynamic route planning.
You can also collect information about the current traffic situation, either as a text
message or in the map display.
To be able to use this TMC information, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
You have C-IQ enabling for TMC.
The TMC data is supported by the map DVD/CD in this region.
TMC traffic information is broadcast in this region.
You have activated any TMC messages which you would like to have displayed or
taken into account under "Message selection" in the "Info" or "Settings" menu.
You can see the TMC status in the status line on the screen*:
„TMC" green . . . . . . TMC information is available. Alternatively, the name of the pro-
„TMC" black . . . . . . . No TMC database for the region available on CD/DVD, or data not
„TMC" red . . . . . . . . TMC reception distorted/no TMC transmitter set.
If the currently received TMC station broadcasts the provider name, it appears in the
status line instead of the "TMC" logo.
* The display of "TMC" must be activated in the status line. Refer to the "Settings"
section, Page 37.
TMC products subject to a fee (Pay TMC)
In some countries or regions, extended TMC information might be available for an
additional charge. These TMC services subject to a fee are supported by your navigation
system and can be activated by the C-IQ Service. See the "C-IQ – Intelligent Content On
Demand" section.
Pay TMC stations are generally identified by a coin in the TMC station list.
If a C-IQ Pay-TMC product is activated, the relevant TMC stations are treated with
priority.
If no C-IQ Pay-TMC products are activated, the coin is displayed with a line through it.

obstructions on the planned route.
