Traffic informationVehicle EquipmentThis chapter describes all standard, national andspecial equipment provided in the model series.Therefore equipment not available in a vehicle isalso described, for example the selected specialequipment or national version. That also appliesto safety-relevant functions and systems.GeneralTraffic information from radio stations sendinga traffic warning service on the Traffic MessageChannel, TMC, is shown in the map view andconsidered when calculating route. Informationon traffic obstructions and dangers is continuously updated.Traffic information is displayed on the map bysymbols.Traffic information for the vicinity is stored in alist.Display The symbol in the function bar of the mapview turns yellow, if the traffic information concerns the calculated route and the expected delay is less than 20 minutes. The symbol turns redif the expected delay is more than 20 minutes orthe route is blocked or there is a danger message for the route.
