information.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio 
stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their 
programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.

traffic delays along your route and how you can avoid them.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic 
information provided by TMC.
TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit tomtom.com to check if 
it is available in your country or region.

2. Connect the Car Charger to the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver and then plug the 
Car Charger into your car’s cigarette lighter socket.
Note: The RDS-TMC receiver does not work if the Car Charger is not 
connected.

upper left hand corner of your car windshield.
