REG ON is mostly used when you have an issue with RDS reception between two stations using the same PI so your tuner starts jumping from station to station depending which one have the strongest reception. If you are driving that becomes a problem, so you turn REG ON to "lock" either station in.
Although TMC is a data-only channel, by setting REG ON you are also in effect turning the feature off as it cannot receive the traffic data as the channel is "locked in" to another station.
