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 touch 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 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. XM NavTraffic™ currently broadcasts the traffic
information for many markets nationally, and the
service may be available in more cities in the future.

The Avoid button is only available if the event is on
the route ahead.

If the voice prompts are on, whenever an Alert for
Approaching Traffic is displayed, the system gives
