Read the following Options
descriptions to understand how
the XM NavTraffic™ operates.
XM NavTraffic™
(USA and Canada)
Vehicles with the navigation system
have an XM NavTraffic™ receiver.
XM NavTraffic™ is a subscription
service provided via XM™ Satellite
Radio. XM NavTraffic ™provides
real-time traffic information fully
integrated to the navigation
system to display current traffic
conditions for a driver ’s chosen
route. XM NavTraffic™ allows
drivers to make the most informed,
timesaving routing decisions.
If the Traffic screen button is
pressed or if an attempt is made
to turn on the traffic display in the
Navigation Setup Menu without a subscription, a Caution screen
displays indicating that XM traffic is
not activated.
Three types of traffic information for
major roadways are displayed on
the navigation system:
.Unscheduled traffic incident
data, such as accidents and
disabled vehicles
.Scheduled traffic incident data,
such as road construction and
road closures
.Traffic flow information (rate of
speed data)

Locations and Information of
Traffic Conditions
The system may take some time
to sort the information. The list of
traffic conditions display in the order
of distance from the vehicle, up to
approximately 125 km (75 mi). With
a route planned, the system defaults
to list traffic events on your route.
Without a route planned, if travelling
on a major interstate, the system
lists events immediately ahead on
the interstate first. Then all other
traffic events follow. Not all traffic
conditions may be listed.
