XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)
Your vehicle’s navigation system has 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 the
traffic display in the Navigation Setup Menu is attempted
to be turned on without a subscription, a warning 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.
