TMC Scan (Traffic Message Channel)
If you activate this function, the automatic search will only look for stations
transmitting TMC information and will ensure that you receive as much TMC data as
the unit can find.
TMC data are used in navigation mode for dynamic route planning and dynamic
guidance. An increasing number of RDS stations transmit these TMC data. See also
“Behavior of TMC and TA” on the following page.

TMC is not yet available in all countries.
TA Scan (Traffic Announcements)
Activate this function if you wish to hear traffic announcements (TA). See also “Behavior
of TMC and TA” on the following page.
✎
If the radio has not been set to a station with TA, you will hear a warning tone and
the radio will automatically search for a station transmitting traffic announcements.
News (NEWS)
Activate this function, if you wish to listen to news, e. g. even when a CD is playing or
when the unit is set to mute. Using the RDS-EON function, the unit can also receive the
news from other stations.

News broadcasts may be interrupted by traffic announcements.

The “News” function is not yet available in all countries.
Ann. level (Announcement level)

information will be heard. Switching the unit off and then on again removes this
