RDS-Traffic Operating Modes
Traffic events that have an impact on your route can be processed in one of the following two modes:
Re-routing Mode. (Default) Traffic events affecting your route will trigger the receiver to automatically
calculate a new route, if a faster alternative route is available.
Alert Mode. Traffic events affecting your route will be reported to you in the form of warning
messages.
