XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)
The vehicle's navigation system may 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 and surrounding area. 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 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.
XM NavTraffic™ currently broadcasts the traffic information for many markets nationally, and the service may be available in more cities in the future. Visit xmnavtraffic.com for more details on local coverage.
A service fee is required in order to receive the XM NavTraffic™ service.
