Traffic Options
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 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 flow 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.
