5. Traffic Information
The RDS-TMC (Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel) provides various information useful for
driving using FM radio transmission. The system can receive RDS-TMC information, and can display
the information on traffic conditions, congestion forecasts, and weather forecasts, etc. on the screen and
on the map.
By using RDS-TMC, you can obtain or confirm event information on congestions, road works, and
suspension of traffic, etc. around the route and the vehicle position.
When information is received from the RDS-TMC, the latest receiving time is displayed in the upper part
of TMC indicator on the Map screen.
Note:
• You can set the system to calculate routes that avoid the traffic incidents and congestions, etc. by using
received RDS-TMC information.
