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 rst.Then all other traffic events follow. Not all traffic
conditions may be listed.

Traffic screen button. A list of traffic conditions with
distance from the vehicle’s current position displays.
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.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
The navigation system determines the position of the
vehicle by using satellite signals, various vehicle signals,
and map data.
At times, other interferences such as the satellite
condition, road conguration, the condition of the vehicle
and/or other circumstances can interfere with the
navigation system’s ability to determine the accurate
position of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of the vehicle using
signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the United States
Department of Defense. When the vehicle is not
receiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appears
on the map screen. Refer toSymbols on page 4-17.
This system may not be available or interferences may
occur if any of the following are true:
Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large
trucks, or a tunnel.
Objects are located on the front dash of the vehicle.
Satellites are being repaired or improved.
After-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windshield.
