Setting an alternative route to
avoid traffic jams
The navigation system checks whether or not
there is the traffic information on your route at
regular time intervals. If the navigation system
detects any traffic jams on your current route, the
system tries to find a better route in the back-
ground.
❒ The following types of traffic incidents on the
route will be checked: slow, queuing and sta-
tionary traffic, and closed/blocked roads.
Checking for traffic jams automatically
If there is information about traffic jam on your
current route and if an alternative route can be
found, the navigation system will recommend a
new alternative route automatically. In such a
case, the following screen will appear.
❒ There is no action if the system cannot find
any traffic jam information on your route or
the system cannot find an alternative.
On this screen, you can select the following
items:

OK:

❒ When no selection is made, the screen
returns to previous screen.
