how the XM NavTraffic™ operates.
XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)
The vehicle’s navigation system may have (if equipped)
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.

and disabled vehicles
Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road
construction and road closures

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
