time traffic)

receive and incorporate into the navigation
system. Traffic report messages and map
symbols can then be viewed in the COMAND
display. Events displayed are those within
receivable range of the vehicle’s location.
i Actual road and traffic conditions may be
different from the received messages.
Real-time traffic notifications in the
map

the map. The notifications are shown at the
map scales from 0.05 mi (50 m) to 500 mi
(500 km).
