Understanding FM TMC Traffic FM TMC traffic receivers receive traffic information that is broadcast over the FM Radio Data System. The FM TMC subscription activates automatically after your navigation system acquires satellite signals while receiving traffic signals from the service provider. About the Traffic Icon When you are receiving traffic information, a traffic icon appears on the Map. The traffic icon changes color to indicate the severity of traffic conditions. Color Green Yellow Red Gray Description Meaning Low severity Traffic is flowing normally. Medium severity Traffic is slightly congested. High severity Traffic is heavily congested or stopped. No data Traffic data has not updated. Traffic on Your Route When calculating your route, the navigation system examines the current traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest time. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are navigating, your navigation system automatically recalculates the route. The traffic icon changes color to indicate the severity of traffic conditions on your route or on the road you are currently traveling. Your navigation system may route you through a traffic delay if a better alternative route does not exist. The delay time is added into your estimated time of arrival automatically. 28 GPS Navigation Instruction Manual
