Traffic Information Using the built-in FM traffic receiver, the navigation system can receive and use traffic information. When a traffic message is received, you can see the event on the map and change your route to avoid the traffic incident. The DNX5180 does not have an FM traffic receiver. Traffic information is not available in all areas. Understanding FM TMC Traffic FM TMC traffic receivers receive traffic information that is broadcast over the FM Radio Data System. The FM TMC subscription activates automatically after your navigation system acquires satellite signals while receiving traffic signals from the service provider. You can add other FM TMC subscriptions at any time. Check the Garmin Web site at www.garmin.com/kenwood for other available services. Traffic in Your Area When you are receiving traffic information, a traffic icon appears in the upper-left corner of the Map page. The traffic icon changes color to indicate the severity of traffic conditions on your route or on the road you are currently traveling. Color Green Yellow Red Gray Description Meaning Low severity Traffic is flowing normally. Medium severity Traffic is slightly congested. High severity Traffic is heavily congested or stopped. No data Traffic data has not updated. Traffic on Your Route When calculating your route, the navigation system examines the current traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest time. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are navigating, the navigation system automatically recalculates the route. You might still be routed through traffic if no better alternative routes exist. If a non-severe traffic delay occurs on your route, the traffic icon shows how much time the delay has added to your route. This time is already included in your estimated arrival time. To manually avoid traffic on your route: 1 On the Map page, touch the traffic icon. 2 Touch Traffic On Route. 3 Touch the arrows to view other traffic delays on your route, if necessary. 4 Touch Avoid to avoid the traffic delay.
