TMC status and quality
The TMC device offers you the
additional function of dynamically
avoiding traffic jams. During
navigation, the system regularly
accesses the latest TMC traffic
information, provided this information
is available in the country you are in.
TMC information is displayed in the status
bar.
Tap Settings, then TMC to switch TMC
reception on or off.
Traffic information depends on several
conditions, e.g. the TMC device is switched
on, traffic information must be available and
broadcast by the provider. The quality and
accuracy of the messages depends on the
provider. The navigation device has no
influence over the available data.
If the TMC is switched on but there is no reception, a yellow tick is displayed. During TMC
reception, the name of the provider or a green tick is displayed in the status bar. If the TMC
is switched off, a red cross is displayed instead of a tick or a provider.
If the TMC is switched on and you are receiving travel information, expected delays
are displayed in the status bar (e.g. due to a traffic jam or road works). The delay is
indicated by the colour of the hourglass:
Red TMC reception OK; delay on selected route
Green TMC reception OK; no delays
Grey TMC unavailable or switched off
If the TMC is switched on and there is a traffic jam on your route, a corresponding icon
appears on the left in the map display screen. Tap this icon and a list of detailed infor-
mation appears.
