Displaying traffic messages (TMC)

Various FM radio stations transmit traffic messag-
es in addition to their radio programme (TMC mes-
sages = Traffic Message Channel). The PCM eval-
uates and displays this information.
In some countries (e.g. Great Britain and France),
the TMC information transmitted can vary signifi-
cantly depending on the local radio station tuned
into.
The navigation system takes these traffic messag-
es into consideration during dynamic route calcu-
lation.
The broadcasting stations are responsible for
the quality of the traffic messages. We there-
fore cannot accept any liability for the com-
pleteness and correctness of the information.
Austria: The location and event code was
made available by ASFINAG and BMVIT.
You can display the current traffic messages in a
list. If the route guidance component of your navi-
gation system is active, the traffic messages on
your route are displayed in a separate list.

entiated:
