Driving to Your DestinationWhen you say or select Return, the
display returns to the list screen. When
you select Avoid, the system
recalculates a detour route avoiding the
road. You can choose to avoid up to 10
traffic incidents.
NOTE:
 When you select the “All” tab,
Avoid is not displayed.
 To activate this function, you need to set Traffic Rerouting to ON in the
Routing & Guidance settings (see
page 110).
 Because the criterion for whether the
traffic event is to be detoured or not is
included in the traffic event data
itself, the traffic rerouting is not
performed for all the traffic incidents
ahead on the route.
 Even when the rout e recalculation is
performed for a traffic event, if the
system cannot find any detour route
or a quicker detour route, the event
location is not always avoided.
 Traffic rerouting is available only if
you have a current traffic/weather
subscription with XM. See page 124.
Changing the RouteWhile en route, you may wish to alter
your route, add an interim “Waypoint”
(pit stop), choose a different destination,
or cancel your current destination. To
change your present route, you can do
any of the following:
Say “Menu,” or press the MENU button
to view the MENU screen ( Route):
 Cancel Route (page 75)
 Detour (page 75)
 Avoid Streets (page 75)
 Change Route Preference (page 75)
 Waypoint (page 76) Choose a different destination (other
methods) by:
 Saying, “Find nearest...” to find a POI
(page 78).
 Saying, “Go home” (page 78).
Using the Interface Dial to select a different POI or address on the map
(page 78).
 Pressing the MENU button and
selecting the “Dest. MENU 1 or 2”
tab on the MENU screen (page 79).

next 5 miles (while on a freeway) or 1
mile (while on a surface street).Avoid StreetsFrom the MENU screen ( Route), if you
say or select Avoid Streets , the
system displays a list of streets that will
get you to your destination. This feature
allows you to avoid a street or streets
along your route. This is helpful if you
know of road construction, closures, or
excessive traffic along the route.
Simply select the street or streets you
wish to avoid. You can store up to 10
streets to be avoided. You cannot avoid
