Traffic incidents displayed on the map
Traffic incidents reported via TMC that are on the route are shown on the
map by a red symbol. Incidents that are not on the route are shown on the
map by a grey symbol. The positioning of the TMC symbol indicates the inci-
dent and the direction if both are clearly defined in the TMC traffic message.
If route guidance is not active, all traffic incidents are coloured grey.
Dynamic route guidance
If the
Dynamic route
function button is activated and a diversion to avoid
traffic congestion on the route is likely to save time, the navigation system
automatically calculates an alternative route.
An announcement is given when the route is recalculated. The same an-
nouncement is given if the traffic incident that was present when the route
was originally calculated is now no longer reported.
Note
Avoiding an incident based on TMC traffic reports may not always save time,
if, for instance, there is also heavy traffic on the alternative route.
Note
If a traffic incident is located on a route section further ahead, it is possible
to exclude the section manually if the TMC traffic report has not yet been
received.
Note
The quality of traffic messages depends on the station broadcasting the
traffic reports. This station is responsible for the content of the traffic re-
ports.

The unit constantly receives TMC traffic reports in the background, provided
a TMC traffic news station can be received at the current location. The sta-
tion listened to does not have to be the TMC traffic news station.
