Using Traffic Information Chapter 08 Using Traffic Information Using XM NavTraffic Information If you have a GEX-P10XMT XM Digital Satellite Data & Audio Receiver (sold separately) attached to the navigation system and have an active subscription to XM NavTraffic service, you can view current traffic conditions and information on your navigation display. When the unit receives updated traffic information, the navigation system will overlay the traffic information on your map and also display detailed text information when available. When you are traveling along a route and there is traffic information on your current route, the system will detect it and ask you if you would like to be rerouted, or suggest another route automatically. p The system acquires the traffic information up to 100 miles in radius from the vehicle position. (If there is a lot of traffic information around your vehicle, the radius will be shorter than 100 miles.) p The navigation system provides the following functions by using the information from XM NavTraffic: - Displaying a list of traffic information - Displaying traffic information on a map - Suggesting a route to avoid traffic con- gestion by using traffic information p The term "traffic congestion" in this section indicates the following types of traffic information: stop and go, stopped traffic, closed/blocked roads.
