The traffic information is provided by a traffic
data supplier and is based on various sources
and data. It is necessary to regularly transmit
information on your vehicle's position to
Daimler AG if you wish to use Live Traffic
Information. This data is then made anony-
mous and forwarded to the traffic data sup-
pliers. This anonymous data is used to trans-
mit all traffic reports to the vehicle that are
relevant for the current vehicle position. On
the other hand, as the vehicle acts as a traffic
flow sensor, the quality of the traffic reports is
enhanced (source for Floating Car Data). The
anonymous data is not stored permanently.
i
If you do not wish to send your vehicle's
positions, contact a Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre. Please note that by switching
off this function, Live Traffic Service will
also be automatically deactivated.

Traffic reports via FM RDS-TMC
An RDS-TMC radio station transmits RDS-
TMC traffic reports in addition to the radio
programme. COMAND Online can receive
RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them into
consideration for dynamic (traffic-depend-
ent) route guidance. This means the naviga-
tion system can guide you around a traffic
jam, for example.
There may also be differences between the
traffic reports received and the actual road
and traffic conditions.
The respective traffic data being received
appears on the top right of the display with
the symbol "TMC". If there is no reception, no
symbol is displayed.

FM RDS-TMC is not available in all coun-
