Traffic information broadcasts

~1min read

You can receive radio traffic messages while listening to discs and watching TV programmes. To do this, switch on the TP (Traffic Programme) function.

On a vehicle with the "Professional" radio you can receive road traffic messages even if a station that does not broadcast traffic information is set. A second receiver is provided for this purpose.

The following statuses are shown on the display:

► the tuned radio station broadcasts road traffic messages;
► traffic information broadcast is on/off.

Navigation system announcements do not interrupt traffic announcements.
