Traffic information (TMC)
The navigation system has an integrated TMC receiver which supplies
up-to-date traffic information. Using this information the navigation
system can change your route dynamically, for example in order to
avoid a traffic jam.
Note:
This function is only available if TMC traffic messages are being
transmitted in the country in which you are travelling. This is not the
case in all countries.
The
TMC
symbol can display the following TMC reception status:
Tuning
(in red): The TMC receiver is operational but cannot find a
transmitter that is sending TCM signals. There are no active traffic
messages.
Tuning
: The TMC receiver is operational but cannot find a station that
is transmitting TMC signals. Traffic messages are active however. This
can be the case, for example, when travelling through a tunnel.
TMC on standby
(in grey): Traffic messages can be received.
Note:
The TMC receiver uses the antenna of the car radio. The
Tuning
symbol may still appear therefore when the navigation device is not
mounted in the vehicle.
For details of the TMC function refer to chapter "TMC (Traffic
information)" on page 87.
Traffic information (TP)
The car radio can phase out the playing back of music or navigation
instructions and have traffic messages announced instead when traffic
information is available.
The
TP
symbol can indicate the following states:
No TP
(No symbol): Traffic messages are not phased in.
TP on standby
(white): Traffic messages are phased in. When the
traffic message announcement has finished, the original audio source
will be used again.
Tuning
(red): The radio looks for a station which transmits traffic
information.
Bluetooth / Phone
The navigation device has an integrated Bluetooth hands-free module.
This enables you to use the device as a hands-free kit for up to two
mobile phones with Bluetooth capability.
