Emission-free zone detection

[Radaway]

First, I hope I'm in the right section of the form; there are so many sublevels that it's hard to see the forest for the trees.

I keep my TomTom(5100) updated every week.
I will travel from Holland to Berlin sometime in July this year.
Now I have heard there are some emission-free zones in Germany where a "green sticker" is needed. This is just hearsay... what I have gathered.
My questions are:
1) Does an updated TomTom give prior notice to the user when entering such a zone?
2) My car is a plug-in hybrid (ICE + Battery). Do I still need to purchase such a sticker and smudge my front car window? Ugh...

Any pointers on what I am looking at here would be appreciated.

Thanks for any pearls of wisdom.

GO 5100 doesn't have the option to bypass low emission zones if that's what you want to know.

Vehicles with a green sticker can, however, enter all low-emission zones in Germany. This green eco sticker is the one you should get if you plan to visit German cities with a low emission zone.

Eligibility for the green ecological sticker
The following vehicles are eligible for the green sticker:

Vehicles equipped with an electric motor such as the Tesla Model S.
Vehicles equipped with a gasoline, LPG or hybrid engine meeting the requirements of the EURO 1 emissions standard (January 1, 1993 and more recent).
Passenger transport vehicles (M1) and light utility vehicles (N1) equipped with a diesel engine complying with the EURO 4 emissions standard (January 1, 2006 and more recent).
Trucks (N2 and N3) and buses (M2 and M3) equipped with a diesel engine complying with the EURO 4 emissions standard (October 1, 2006 and newer).
Vehicles equipped with a diesel engine meeting the EURO 3 emissions standard and which are retrofitted with a diesel particulate filter.
Please note that the years mentioned in parentheses are indicative only and depend on the manufacturer. For example, a vehicle equipped with a diesel engine from before 2006 may already meet the EURO 4 requirements, while this may not be the case for other vehicles from 2006 or older. This is often the case with motorhomes.

Only new GPSs have this option.
