What is TMC Traffic Infor-
mation Centre?
The TMC (Traffic Message Channel) Traffic
Information Centre provides information
about traffic jams, roadwork and closed
roads around your current location using FM
frequencies.
To receive the information, the TMC unit,
which is sold separately, needs to be con-
nected to this system.
The navigation system filters the information
received and displays related icons on the
map. For the setting of filters or for displayed
icons, refer to page E-13, "Icons displayed
after receiving information from the TMC
Traffic Information Centre".
If the information from the Centre about the
suggested route is received after the route
calculation is completed, you can request
the navigation system to calculate a detour.
Refer to page E-23, "Detour calculation
using the information from the TMC Traffic
Information Centre".
CAUTION
The information given by the RDS-TMC is
only a reference. It may not match the
actual traffic conditions.
Tips:
For the basic settings of RDS-TMC and how
to set certain traffic information to display,
refer to page E-13.
