5. Traffic Information
The system can receive RDS-TMC information, and can display these information on traffic conditions,
congestion forecasts, and weather forecasts, etc. on the screen and on the map.
The RDS-TMC (Radio Data System-Traffic Message Channel) provides various information useful for
driving using FM radio transmission. 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] key 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.
• For the symbols used for the TMC, see "Symbols used for TMC traffic information" (P. 19).
