SEARCHING FOR A DETOUR
ROUTE TAKING TRAFFIC INFORMA-
TION INTO CONSIDERATION

or if the system finds a faster route, a detour alert
will pop up automatically. If the automatic alert is
missed, a detour can also be searched for
manually.

2. Select “Traffic Detour”.3. When the detour search is successful, de-
tailed information about the detour route
(left screen) and the comparison screen of
the two routes (right screen) are displayed.

travel time to destination when the de-
tour route is taken.
4. To accept the suggested detour route, se-
lect “Yes”.
INFO:
●If no route is set, or “Use Real Time Traffic In-
formation” is turned off, this function cannot

●If no detour route is selected and no further
action is provided, the detour route will be au-
tomatically cancelled.
●The detour suggestion may be retrieved even
after the message disappears by manually se-
lecting “Traffic Detour”. The system will then
search for the detour again and suggest a de-
tour if one is available at that time.
●Without a subscription to an XM NavTraffic
broadcast, it will not be possible to get a traf-
fic detour or apply settings for traffic informa-
tion related functions. A message appears
when a related menu item is selected.
●See “NOTES ON XM NavTrafficINFORMA-
TION” for further information.
Automatic detour guidance
WhenAuto RerouteandUse Real Time Traffic
Informationare turned on, a message will auto-
matically pop up when the system finds a detour.1. If a traffic jam or a serious traffic problem
occurs on the route while driving along the
suggested route, the automatic detour
route search starts and a message pops up
if a detour is found.
2. To accept the suggested detour route, se-
lect “Yes”.INFO:
●If no operation is performed for one minute af-
ter the message is displayed, the message
disappears. The detour will not be accepted,
and the current suggested route will remain
unchanged.
●When the “Traffic Announcement” is turned
on, the system will announce voice guidance
at the same time that the message appears on
the screen.

●“Use Statistical Traffic Information”:
Uses statistical traffic information that is
stored in the map data.
●“Use Real Time Traffic Information”:
Uses the latest traffic information received via
the XMbroadcast.
●“Use Avoid Area Settings”:
Enables the avoid area setting.
●“Use Ferries”:
Includes the use of ferries.
●“Use Learned Routes”:
Uses the roads that are most frequently trav-
eled with the help of self-learning technology.
●“Auto Reroute”:
If the vehicle deviates from the suggested
route, the system automatically recalculates a
route that leads the vehicle to the suggested
route.
INFO:
●The recalculated route may not be the short-
est route because the system prioritizes easy-
to-drive roads for safety reasons.
●If route conditions are set fromRoute
Settings, all sections in the route are subject
to the same route conditions even though dif-
ferent route conditions are set for different
sections inEdit/Add to Route.●IfUse Time Restricted Roadsis deactivated,
the system calculates a route without any
consideration of the regulations concerning
the time or day of the week. Therefore, the
suggested route may include a road subject
to traffic regulations concerning the time or
day of the week. When driving along the
route, always follow all traffic regulations re-
gardless of whetherUse Time Restricted
Roadsis ON or OFF.
●If the system cannot calculate any alternative
routes, it displays the previous route.
●If the vehicle overly deviates from the sug-
gested route, the system calculates a new
route.
●Statistical traffic information is based on pre-
vious traffic data. When the traffic situation
rapidly changes due to unexpected accidents,
construction work, traffic restrictions,
emergencies, etc., the prediction accuracy of
the system may be reduced.
●Traffic jam information displayed on the map
screen is not statistical traffic information.
●WhenUse Statistical Traffic Informationis
turned on, the system may lead to a road
where a traffic jam occurs or to a detour even
though the shortest route does not have a
traffic jam.●Even whenUse Real Time Traffic Information
is turned on, if traffic information has not been
provided for the area, sometimes it is possible
that a detour will not be indicated in a location
where a traffic jam occurs.
●The system may not lead to a detour if traffic
closure or a traffic jam occurs far from the
present location.
●The system calculates to reduce the time re-
quired for the entire route from the start to
destination. If there are no appropriate routes,
the system may lead to a route where a traffic
jam occurs instead of leading to a detour.
●This system can learn and memorize the route
that is most frequently used. However, de-
spite driving on the same route several times
so that the system can learn the route, the
system may have difficulty learning the route
under the following conditions:
–Use Time Restricted Roadis turned on.
–Use Real Time Traffic Infois turned on.
