how the XM NavTraffic™ operates.
XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)
The vehicle’s navigation system may have (if equipped)
an XM NavTraffic™ receiver. XM NavTraffic™ is a
subscription service provided via XM™ Satellite Radio.

fully integrated to the navigation system to display
current traffic conditions for a driver’s chosen route.

construction and road closures
Traffic ow information (rate of speed data)
Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by the XM™
Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™ makes it possible for
the navigation system to provide continuously updated
traffic information personalized for a driver’s needs.

Ordering Map DVDs
The map DVD in your vehicle is the most up-to-date
information available when your vehicle was produced.

If you have any questions about the operation of the

GM Nav Disc Center toll-free phone number,
1-877-NAV-DISC (1-877-628-3472) or go to the center’s
website, gmnavdisc.com. If you need any updates or a
replacement disc, because the current disc is lost,
damaged, or needs to be updated, call the GM Nav Disc
Center or order a new disc online. To order a disc, have
your Vehicle Identication Number (VIN) available. This
helps the center make sure you receive the correct and

vehicle’s owner manual for more information.
After receiving the updated disc, replace the old disc in
