Dynamic Guidance with TMC traffic information
(only with RDS TMC radio connected)
With the RDS Traffic Message Channel (TMC) you always have an overview over
the actual traffic situation on your route. In combination with an optional Philips
Car Systems RDS TMC radio the navigation system shows you where accidents,
traffic jams or roadworks are.
During guidance CARiN informs you about all traffic obstructions covered by
TMC and occuring on your route ahead. When you get closer to the obstruction
the “Detour” option becomes active and CARiN plans a detour if you wish to
take it.
