Vehicle equipment

This also applies to safety-relevant functions
and systems. Comply with the relevant laws
and regulations when using the corresponding

General
Traffic information from radio stations sending
a traffic warning service on the Traffic Mes‐
sage Channel, TMC, is shown in the map view
and considered when calculating route. Infor‐
mation on traffic obstructions and dangers is
continuously updated.
Traffic information is displayed on the map by
symbols.
For particular dangers, for example objects on
the road, a message is displayed.
Some danger messages are also displayed as
Check Control message in instrument cluster.
Display of map view in the function bar
Symbol Function
Yellow symbol:
The traffic information concerns the
calculated route and the expected
delay is less than 20 minutes.
Red symbol:
The expected delay is more than 20
minutes or there is a blockage of
the risk information for the route.
Symbol Function
Grey symbol:
No traffic information is available or
the expected delay is less than
5 minutes.
There is an appropriate diversion
for the traffic information.
Real-Time Traffic Information, RTTI
In some countries additional bookable services
send real-time traffic information, RTTI, which
is then used and shown instead of traffic infor‐
mation from the radio station.
The location of traffic obstructions is specified
more comprehensively and precisely with realtime traffic information. In addition, the traffic
situation off the motorways, for example, on
side streets and urban roads, is extensively re‐
corded and shown. Diversion recommenda‐
tions can be calculated more precisely on the
basis of this information. This lowers the risk of
coming across another traffic obstruction on
diversions. Several recommended diversions
or further information may be provided.
During journeys in countries in which real-time
traffic information is available, the traffic infor‐
mation continues to use radio stations.
It is shown in the bar of the map view, see
page 17, whether TMC or RTTI traffic informa‐
tion is used.
