feature is called RTTI (Real Time Traffic Information)
Whether you want the short route, the fast route or the scenic route, you never want to get stuck in traffic. The RTTI service notifies you of traffic
incidents on your route so you can change course and possibly avoid delays. High traffic areas continuously update the service 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, while lower traffic areas report only during normal commuting hours.
Traffic incidents are compiled and transmitted in metropolitan areas by a leading FM broadcaster. The data is received through a dedicated tuner,
which operates independently of your entertainment source. The reported traffic incidents are displayed as icons on the navigation map and in a list,
sorted by distance from your BMW's current position. While you stay focused on enjoying the drive, your navigation system automatically calculates
the best route, and even provides a detour around traffic if the delay is calculated to be longer than 5 minutes.
RTTI is still a developing service that requires information from different sources in order for the traffic information to be available to the driver.
Customer complaints on the accuracy and timing of traffic information can by no means be considered a defect of the vehicle.
For FAQ, please refer to Attachment_A, which provides valuable information for center personnel to help deal with customer questions that may
arise. Please share this information with all service personnel, including the Service Advisor.
