INFO:
cThe recalculated route may not be the short-
est route because the system prioritizes easy-
to-drive roads for safety reasons.
cIf you set the route conditions from the “Route
Priority” key, all sections in the route are sub-
ject to the same route conditions even though
you have set different route conditions for dif-
ferent sections in the “Edit Route” key.
cIf the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is
deactivated, the system calculates a route
without any consideration of the regulations
concerning the time or day of the week.
Therefore, the suggested route may include a
road subject to traffic regulations concerning
the time or day of the week. When driving
along the route, always follow all regulations.
cIf the system cannot calculate any alternative
routes, it displays the previous route.
cIf the vehicle overly deviates from the sug-
gested route, the system calculates a new
route.Traffic Information Settings
To receive traffic information, an XMTNavTraf-
fic™ subscription is required.
The traffic information feature gives you the op-
portunity to forecast traffic incidents, determine
how serious they are, through the guidance
mode, and allows you to detour around traffic
problems.
“VIEWING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
(IF SO EQUIPPED)” (page 7-7)You can calculate a detour for a section of the
