Traffic Options
Read the following Options descriptions to understand how the XM NavTraffic™ operates.
XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)
Vehicles with the 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 an attempt is made to turn on the traffic display in the Navigation Setup Menu without a subscription, a Caution 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.
Turning XM NavTraffic™ On and Off
To turn traffic on or off:
- Press the CONFIG hard key, then press the CONFIG key repeatedly until Nav is selected or press the Nav screen button.
- Touch the Traffic Options button.
- Touch the Traffic button. This button is highlighted when it is active.
Selecting Alert for Approaching Traffic Events enables the system to show a pop-up screen that notifies of possible traffic issues ahead.

Traffic Icon
The Traffic Icon appears on the Traffic Tab, next to the word Traffic, when traffic is found in the local area.
The Traffic Icon has three different condition displays. These are:
Condition | Traffic Status Icon | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| ||||||
Traffic events are in the area, but none are on route. |
| ||||||
Traffic events are on route. |
|
Locations and Information of Traffic Conditions
The system may take some time to sort the information. The list of traffic conditions display in the order of distance from the vehicle, up to approximately 75 mi (125 km). With a route planned, the system defaults to list traffic events on your route. Without a route planned, if travelling on a major interstate, the system lists events immediately ahead on the interstate first. Then all other traffic events follow. Not all traffic conditions may be listed.
To view the traffic condition location and information on the map:
- Press the NAV key, then press the NAV key repeatedly until Traffic is selected, or touch the Traffic screen button. A list of traffic conditions with distance from the vehicle's current position displays.
- Select a traffic condition to get more detailed information of the event.
An arrow may appear before the distance. The arrow indicates the distance is a straight line distance and it shows the direction of the event from the current vehicle's position. If no arrow appears, the distance indicates how far the event is ahead on current Interstate highway or route. While the vehicle is moving, the traffic list up or down, scroll arrows are limited to a maximum of four pages. No more than four pages of traffic events may be viewed while the vehicle is moving.
