XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)
The vehicle’s navigation system may have 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 and
surrounding area. 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 warning screen displays indicating that XM traffic is
not activated.

Three types of traffic information for major roadways are
displayed on the navigation system:
Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as accidents
and disabled vehicles
Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road
construction and road closures
Traffic ow information (rate of speed data)
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 xmnavtraffic.com for more details on local
coverage.
A service fee is required in order to receive the
XM NavTraffic™ service.

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 2-8.This system may not be available or interferences may
occur if:Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, large
trucks, or a tunnel.
Objects that are placed on top of or near the
instrument panel.
Satellites are being repaired or improved.
After-market glass tinting has been applied to the
vehicle’s windshield.
Notice:Do not apply after-market glass tinting to
the vehicle’s windows. Glass tinting interferes
with the system’s ability to receive GPS signals and
causes the system to malfunction. The window
might have to be replaced to correct the problem.
This would not be covered by the warranty.
For more information if the GPS is not functioning
properly, seeIf the System Needs Service on page 2-48
andProblems with Route Guidance on page 2-48.
2-46

Problems with Route Guidance
Inappropriate route guidance may occur under one or
more of the following conditions:
You have not turned onto the road indicated.
Route guidance may not be available when using
automatic rerouting for the next right or left turn.
The route may not be changed when using
automatic rerouting.
There is no route guidance when turning at an
intersection.
Plural names of places may be announced
occasionally.
It may take a long time to operate automatic
rerouting during high-speed driving.
Automatic rerouting may display a route returning to
the set waypoint if you are heading for a destination
without passing through a set waypoint.
The route prohibits the entry of a vehicle due to a
regulation by time or season or any other regulation
which may be given.
Some routes may not be searched.
The route to the destination may not be shown if
there are new roads, if roads have recently
changed, or if certain roads are not listed on the
map DVD. SeeOrdering Map DVDs on page 2-49.
To recalibrate the vehicle’s position on the map, see
your dealer/retailer.
If the System Needs Service
If the navigation system needs service and the steps
listed here have been followed but there are still
problems, see your dealer/retailer for assistance.

RDS features are available for use only on FM stations
that broadcast RDS information. With RDS, the radio

to work improperly. If this happens, contact the
radio station.
The RDS system is always on. When information is
broadcast from the FM station you are listening to, the
station name or call letters will be displayed on the
audio screen. RDS may provide a program type (PTY)
