Using traffic information Chapter 10 Using traffic information You can check real-time traffic information transmitted by the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) of the FM Radio Data System (RDS) on the screen. Such traffic information is updated periodically. When the navigation system receives updated traffic information, the navigation system will overlay the traffic information on your map and also display detailed text information when available. When you are travelling along a route and there is traffic information on your current route, the system will detect it and ask you if you would like to be rerouted, or suggest another route automatically. p The system acquires the traffic information up to 150 km in radius from the vehicle position. (If there is a lot of traffic information around your vehicle, the radius will be shorter than 150 km.) p The navigation system provides the following functions by using the information from RDS-TMC service: ! Displaying a list of traffic information ! Displaying traffic information on a map ! Suggesting a route to avoid traffic jams by using traffic information p The term "traffic jam" in this section indi- cates the following types of traffic information: slow, queuing and stationary traffic and closed/blocked roads. This information is always taken into consideration when checking your route, and the information related with these events cannot be turned off. If you select other traffic information in "Traffic Settings", the information can be displayed in a list or on a map. = For details, refer to Selecting traffic infor- mation to display on page 54.
