When I first got my C3 Aircross Flair automatic with Sat Nav the legend Tom Tom traffic used to appear in lower right of touch screen when Nav selected
Since January this year it has not appeared. I've checked the settings but there is no mention of it in the lists.
I logged in and checked on the Citroen web page and it says that traffic is active from 2 March 2020 till 1 March 2023 as it was included with the car.
Anyone else lost this on theirs or managed to get it back
Thanks for any info.

I don't think you have lost any services, it is probably that they have just removed the Tom Tom logo from the last update you installed. However, what you do need to remember to do after each firmware / map update is to go into your navigation settings and make sure all your preferred options are still set as you had them.

I noticed on a couple of occasions including after the last map update that some of my live features such as fuel pump prices and car park spaces remaining were not activated in the map options menu. I now make sure I go through everything after each update to make sure it is as I want it.

Put sat nav on and after 5 minutes Tom Tom traffic appeared on the screen.

Ok, so I can confirm that the Tom Tom icon hasn't been removed in an update,

It's an indication that the system is connected to the live services. For this to happen, your vehicle needs to be in an area with good data coverage otherwise the embedded SIM card won't be able to send and receive data. When the Tom Tom Traffic icon is displayed at the bottom right of the display, it means the service is both 'active' and 'available'. So obviously this may turn on and off depending on where you are and what the data coverage is like.

It's been working now since I mentioned it. When first getting the car out if the garage and Nav on it is blank after 5 mins Tom Tom traffic appears and it works.
The other thing I did was close Mycitroen App and change the password which is the same as for the Citroen website.
