You can view current traffic conditions and in-
formation. When the navigation system re-

In the default setting, the navigation system
takes into account traffic information and tries
to avoid traffic jam and suggests better routes.
Also, when you are travelling along a route
and the system finds another better route for
avoiding the traffic jam, the current route will

The term
“traffic jam” in this section indicates
the following types of traffic conditions:
— Stop-and-go traffic
— Stopped traffic
— Closed/blocked roads
