Using XM NavTraffic
Information
If you have a GEX-P10XMT XM Digital Satellite
Data & Audio Receiver (sold separately) at-
tached to the navigation system and have an
active subscription to XM NavTraffic service,
you can view current traffic conditions and in-
formation on your navigation display. When
the unit receives updated traffic information,
the navigation system will overlay the traffic in-
formation on your map and also display de-
tailed text information when available. When
you are traveling along a route and there is
traffic information on your current route, the
system will detect it and ask you if you would
like to be rerouted, or suggest another route
automatically.
p The system acquires the traffic information
up to 100 miles in radius from the vehicle
position. (If there is a lot of traffic informa-
tion around your vehicle, the radius will be
shorter than 100 miles.)
p The navigation system provides the follow-
ing functions by using the information
from XM NavTraffic:
— Displaying a list of traffic information
— Displaying traffic information on a map
— Suggesting a route to avoid traffic con-
gestion by using traffic information
p The term “traffic congestion” in this section
indicates the following types of traffic infor-
mation: stop and go, stopped traffic,
closed/blocked roads. This information is
always taken into consideration when
checking your route, and the information
related with these events cannot be turned
off. If you select other traffic information in
[
Traffic Settings], the information can be
displayed in a list or on a map.
