XMTNavTraffic™ information is a subscription
service offered by XMTSatellite Radio.
This service provides real time information re-
garding traffic flow, accidents, road construction
and other incidents, where available.
XMTNavTraffic™ combines information from
commercial and public traffic data providers in-
cluding government departments of
transportation, police, emergency services, road
sensors, cameras, and aircraft reports. The traf-
fic information is broadcast to the vehicle by the
XMTsatellites. Available traffic information on
the route the driver selected is shown on the
navigation screen so traffic conditions between
you and the destination are known. Three types
of real-time traffic information for major road-
ways are shown on the navigation system:
cUnscheduled traffic data for example, acci-
dents and disabled vehicles.
cScheduled traffic data, for example road con-
struction and road closures.
cTraffic flow information (rate of speed data) .
mWARNING
XMTNavTraffic™ information is not a
substitute for attentive driving. Traffic
conditions change constantly and
emergency situations can arise without
warning. Relying only on XMTNavTraf-
fic™ information may lead to a collision
and could result in serious personal
injury.
NOTE:
Flow information is provided for only
roads equipped with traffic sensors and is
not available in all markets covered by the
service. Flow data may not be available on
portions of a road that is under
construction.
XMTNavTraffic™ information is available in lim-
ited markets. To subscribe or to check if this ser-
vice is available in your area:
call 1-800-XM-RADIO (1-800-967-2346)
or see www.xmradio.com/xmnavtraffic/

This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, you, the

– If one section between waypoints cannot
be calculated, none of the route will be
displayed.
– The route may not connect completely at
some waypoints.
– The route may require a U-turn close to
some waypoints.
cRoute calculation may not be completed in
the following cases:
– If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the vehicle, a
message saying so will appear on the
screen. Try recalculating when the ve-
hicle is closer to a main road.
– If there is no main road within a range of
1.5 miles (2.5 km) from the destination or
waypoint, a message saying so will ap-
pear on the screen. Try setting the loca-
tion closer to a main road.
– If the vehicle is too close to the destina-
tion or if there are no roads to the
destination, a message saying so will ap-
pear on the screen.
– If it is impossible to reach the destination
or waypoints because of traffic
regulations, etc.– If the only route to reach the destination
or waypoints is extremely complicated.
– If the destination, current vehicle position
or waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
– If a part of the route is included in the
“Avoid Area”.
cThe following may occur when the route is
displayed:
– If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not ex-
actly match the current vehicle location.
– The endpoint of the route may not exactly
match the destination.
– If you calculate a route on a main road,
the system may display a route from an-
other main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle icon,
or continue driving to see if the position
of the vehicle icon is automatically ad-
justed before recalculating the route.
– There are cases in which the system
shows an indirect route to reach the des-
tination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In or-
der to correct this, you must be carefulabout the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc-
tions are shown separately, such as in-
terchanges and service areas.
– This system makes no distinction be-
tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an indi-
rect route even if the road is usable.
– Even if the freeway preference is set to
OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
– Even if the preference is set to OFF, a
route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
– Ferry lines, excluding those that are only
for pedestrians, bicycles and
motorcycles, are stored in this system.
Take into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.
