The multimedia module (MMM) (16/108) receives traffic information messages (TMC) via the TMC receiver. The signal is transmitted via the antenna amplifier (16/16). Traffic information messages (TMC) are displayed on the display screen (16/46).

TMC is a standardized code system for traffic bulletins, such as information on road construction.

The information is displayed on the monitor and is also used by the navigation function during guidance, to avoid closed roads and navigate around queues if possible (dynamic route guidance).
