FM Traffic™
The navigation screen can display
continuously updated traffic
information when available, including
flow (traffic speed), accidents, and
construction on freeways in major metro
areas.
The display of traffic flow and incidents
on the map screen is optional and can
be turned On/Off by selecting the
“Traffic” icon on the Icon bar (see
Showing Icons on the Map on page61). The current metropolita
n areas that have
traffic coverage can be seen on
page 143. For more current metro
coverage information, go to http://
automobiles.honda.com/traffic . This
link offers the following:
• The latest list of metro areas that have FM Traffic coverage
• Detailed coverage information for each metro area showing what roads
have traffic speed, traffic icons, or
both
• An FM Traffic demonstration
• Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
NOTE:
FM Traffic relies on a clear FM signal
and available traffic-broadcasting
station.
You must be in or near a traffic-enabled
city to receive coverage for that area.
FM Traffic is available in the lower 48
states and Hawaii.
Traffic Status Indicator
You can confirm the r eception status of
traffic information (traffic flow and
incidents). The “TRF” icon indicates the
following status:
NOTE:
Traffic information can be turned on or off. See Showing Icons on the Map
on page 61.
Traffic information can be displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or less map
scale.

Viewing Flow Data
Traffic flow data is displayed as colored
bands on either side of the freeway (see
Traffic Display Legend on page22).
The different colored bands represent
the average road speeds as determined
by under-road sensor s and other probes.
While driving to your destination on a
road that has traffic flow data, your
route line color is used to display the
traffic flow data. This means that when
the map scale is set to one of the traffic
scales (1/20 through 5 mile scale), your
blue route line may appear as alternating
orange or red segments (see Traffic
Display Legend on page22).
NOTE:
A blue route line segment on a freeway
can mean one of two things:
• Under-road sensors, GPS probes, cell phone probes, and other methods
used to collect traffic speed
information.
• The road has no sensors, and traffic conditions are unknown (they could
be congested). Naturally, only roads with these sensors
will show traffic information. The
amount of flow data varies considerably
from one city to another. This map
display is refreshed continuously. You
can only view traffic information in the
city where yo
u are located.
NOTE:
Traffic flow and incident icons are displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or
less map scale.
Not all freeways within a metropolitan area have traffic flow
data (colored bands on the side of the
freeways) - this is normal, and you
cannot assume that a lack of data
implies no traffic.
Not all cities have traffic flow information. See cities listed on
page 143.
Due to freeway maintenance and construction, traffic flow may be
available only for one side of a road,
or be missing entirely for some
portion of the freeway. The displayed traffic flow may
conflict with other audio- or Internet-
based traffic information.
If traffic flow is not showing, verify that the “TRAFFIC” selection for the
Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon
options for traffic are both ON (see
page 61).

Viewing Incident Reports
Incident reports appear as small
diamond- or circle-shaped icons (see
Traffic Display Legend on page22 for
examples). There are four ways to view
traffic incidents:
• By voice control, say “Display traffic incidents.”
• Select Traffic Incidents from the
Map menu .
• Select Traffic Incidents on the
INFO screen ( Main Info. ).
• Select an incident icon from the map
screen.
NOTE:
The first method is recommended
because it works on any scale and
requires the minimum input.
Listing Traffic Incidents by Voice
Control
From the map screen (any scale), say
“Display traffic inci dents” or “Display
traffic list.” The Traffic list screen will
be displayed, which includes the “All”
and “On Route” tabs.
When you select the “All” tab, a list of
all incidents within the metro traffic
area will be displayed. When you select
the “On Route” tab, a list of all incidents
on the current route will be displayed.
Incidents are listed by distance from
your current position outward in all
directions. To view incident details, say the number
of the incident you want to select. A
map showing the location of the
incident will be displayed, and the
message will be read to you.
NOTE:
The “On Route” tab can be selected
only when you are en route.
Listing Traffic Incidents from the
INFO Screen or Map Menu
Select
Traffic Incidents from the
INFO screen ( Main Info. ) or Map
menu . The Traffic list screen will be
displayed.

No Traffic Incidents
If you say “Display traffic incidents” or
select Traffic Incidents , but there are
no incidents, the following screen will
be displayed.
Selecting an Incident Icon from the
Map Screen
Zoom in or out so that you are between
the 1/20 and 5 mile scales. (The map
must be on the 1/20 to 5 mile scales to
view the incident icons). To view the
details of a specific incident, use the
Interface Dial to position the cursor
(round red circle) over the incident icon
you are interested in. Push in on the
Interface Dial and select Traffic to
view a pop-up box summary describing
the incident.
To see the incident details, push in on
the Interface Dial . To return to your
current position map screen, say or
select Return . To continue viewing
incidents in your “scrolled to” location,
press the CANCEL button. NOTE:
Incident reports may be displayed on
roads that have no traffic flow data
available.
Freeway incident reports can lag behind the actual incident, or remain
displayed after an incident has
cleared. This is normal, and is
dependent on the reporting agency
and the speed at which the data is
updated.
The displayed inci dents may conflict
with other audio- or Internet-based
traffic information.
