announcement, c and “TA” flash.

• If the unit still cannot find a TP station, it starts a

new search every five minutes until it finds one.

• If you pull out the ignition key while the TIR

function is on, “TIR on” and c flash a few times.

Notes
• The unit also stands by for traffic

announcements for two hours after you turn off
the engine, as long as the TIR function is on.

• If you have a power aerial, it automatically

extends every time the unit searches for a traffic
programme station.
If you have a manual aerial, make sure that the
aerial is fully extended.

• If you do not use your car for about ten days, the

TIR function will turn off automatically to avoid
battery wear, even if the TIR function is on.

• While the unit is recording or playing back the

traffic announcements, the voice drive function
and voice memo function do not work.
