Traffic Options
Read the following Options descriptions to understandhow the XM NavTraffic™operates.
XM NavTraffic™(USA and Canada)
Vehicles with the navigation system have anXM NavTraffic™receiver. XM NavTraffic™is asubscription service provided via XM™Satellite Radio.XM NavTraffic™provides real-time traffic informationfully integrated to the navigation system to displaycurrent traffic conditions for a driver’s chosen route.XM NavTraffic™allows drivers to make the mostinformed, timesaving routing decisions.
If the Traffic touch screen button is pressed or if anattempt is made to turn on the traffic display in theNavigation Setup Menu without a subscription, aCaution screen displays indicating that XM traffic isnot activated.
Three types of traffic information for major roadways aredisplayed on the navigation system:
.Unscheduled traffic incident data, such asaccidents and disabled vehicles
.Scheduled traffic incident data, such as roadconstruction and road closures
.Traffic flow information (rate of speed data)
Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle bythe XM™Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™makesit possible for the navigation system to providecontinuously updated traffic information personalizedfor a driver’s needs.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
The navigation system determines the position of thevehicle by using satellite signals, various vehiclesignals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such as the satellitecondition, road configuration, the condition of thevehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere withthe navigation system's ability to determine the accurateposition of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of the vehicleusing signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the UnitedStates Department of Defense. When the vehicle is notreceiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appearson the map screen. Refer toSymbols on page 5!17.
This system may not be available or interferences mayoccur if any of the following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, largetrucks, or a tunnel.
.Objects are located on the front dash of thevehicle.
.Satellites are being repaired or improved.
.After-market glass tinting has been applied to thevehicle's windshield.
Notice:Do not apply after-market glass tinting tothe vehicle's windows. Glass tinting interferes withthe system's ability to receive GPS signals andcauses the system to malfunction. The windowmight have to be replaced to correct the problem.This would not be covered by the warranty.
For more information if the GPS is not functioningproperly, seeIf the System Needs Serviceonpage 5!59andProblems with Route Guidanceonpage 5!58.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle on the map may beinaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons:
.Road system has changed.
.Vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces suchas in sand, gravel, and/or snow.
.Vehicle is traveling on winding roads.
.Vehicle is on a long straight road.
.Vehicle is approaching a tall building or alarge vehicle.
.Surface streets run parallel to a freeway.
.Vehicle has just been transferred by a vehiclecarrier or a ferry.
.Current position calibration is set incorrectly.
