Traffic Interrupt Feature: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and 2004 Chevrolet Impala. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Whenever the TRAF icon is displayed, the current FM station may also broadcast traffic announcements. Traffic announcements are reports of the current traffic conditions in the listening area of the tuned FM broadcasters.

Your radio can interrupt the playback of a cassette or compact disc by use of the traffic interrupt feature. The traffic interrupt feature is enabled when the TRAF icon is displayed.

If the broadcaster sends out a traffic announcement while you are listening to FM or in the playback mode, "TRAFFIC" will be displayed on the radio and the audio from the broadcaster will be heard. At the conclusion of the traffic announcement, the radio will return to the previous playback mode.

During the time the radio displays "TRAFFIC", you can adjust the volume of the traffic announcement. This will be the volume at which all future traffic announcements will be heard until the volume during another traffic announcement.

You can also interrupt a traffic announcement interrupt by pressing the TRAF button.
