Using the battery

The internal power supply is via the inte-
grated rechargeable battery. The recharge-
able battery is maintenance-free and does
not require any particular care.

Connection for the cigarette 

lighter

Connect the power supply via the vehicle
battery and the cable provided for the cig-
arette lighter as follows:

>

Hold the USB socket at the corrugated
grip area and push it into the connect-
ing socket on the Traffic Assist or into
the connecting socket on the carrier
plate as far as the stop, without using ex-
cessive force.

>

Insert the adapter into the cigarette
lighter.

Note:

Note that if the battery is completely dis-
charged, it may take up to a minute be-
fore the device can be switched on again. 

Note:

In the event of a defective battery, please
contact your authorised dealer. Please do
not attempt to remove the battery your-
self.

Note:

If the cigarette lighter has recently been
used and is still hot, wait until the lighter
socket has cooled down.

Note:

When the engine is switched off, the
power supply slowly discharges the vehi-
cle battery via the cigarette lighter! 
Do not therefore operate the Traffic As-
sist for long periods with the engine
switched off.

Note:

The TMC messages are received via the
cable for the cigarette lighter. Messages
can therefore only be received if the cable
is connected.
