. If there
are no traffic announcements, this menu
item cannot be selected.

lated list of all traffic obstructions on the

played.

Further details are displayed.
Detouring around other traffic
obstructions
If there is a traffic obstruction on the cur-
rent route for which there is no TMC traffic
message, the route can be blocked manu-
ally. The Universal Media Interface calcula-
tes a new route to drive around the traffic
obstruction.
1. Select
Navi
in the navigation menu.
2. Select
Detour
.
3. Select
Less
and

to set the
length of the block.
4. Select
Start
.
The Universal Media Interface calcula-
tes an alternative route.
You can receive traffic information using
the TMC traffic radio receiver. If there are
TMC traffic messages, colored arrows are
displayed along the course of the traffic
jam:
• Yellow arrows: slow-moving traffic.
• Red arrows: stop-and-go or stationary
traffic.
Note
A TMC traffic radio station transmits
TMC traffic reports in addition to the
radio program. The TMC traffic radio
receiver can receive current TMC traffic
reports and take them into consideration
for dynamic route guidance. The naviga-
tion system is thus able to re-route
around a traffic jam, for example. There
may be differences between the reports
received and the actual traffic situation.
Note
With
Navi
Mode
Monitor
traffic
activated, traffic obstruc-
tions reported via the TMC traffic radio
receiver are avoided automatically.
Note
If the information consists of more than
one page, the page number is shown in
the upper right. Slide
