p
Please note that use of the traffic informa-
tion function on AVIC-X940BT will require
that a separately sold Traffic tuner (ND-
TMC10) be connected.
You can check real-time traffic information
transmitted by the Traffic Management Chan-
nel (TMC) of the receive data services (RDS)
on the screen. Such traffic information is up-
dated periodically. When the navigation sys-
tem receives updated traffic information, the
navigation system will overlay the traffic infor-
mation on your map and also display detailed
text information when available. When you are
traveling along a route and there is traffic in-
formation on your current route, the system
will detect it and ask you if you would like to
be rerouted, or suggest another route automa-
tically.
