XMNavTraffic™ information is a subscription
service offered by XMSatellite Radio.
This service provides real time information re-
garding traffic flow, accidents, road construction
and other incidents, where available.
XMNavTraffic™ combines information from
commercial and public traffic data providers in-
cluding government departments of
transportation, police, emergency services, road
sensors, cameras, and aircraft reports. The traf-
fic information is broadcast to the vehicle by the
XMsatellites. Available traffic information on
the route the driver selected is shown on the
navigation screen so traffic conditions between
you and the destination are known. Three types
of real-time traffic information for major road-
ways are shown on the navigation system:
●Unscheduled traffic data for example, acci-
dents and disabled vehicles.
●Scheduled traffic data, for example road con-
struction and road closures.
●Traffic flow information (rate of speed data) .
WARNING
XMNavTraffic™ information is not a
substitute for attentive driving. Traffic
conditions change constantly and
emergency situations can arise without
warning. Relying only on XMNavTraf-
fic™ information may lead to a collision
and could result in serious personal
injury.
NOTE:
Flow information is provided for only
roads equipped with traffic sensors and is
not available in all markets covered by the
service. Flow data may not be available on
portions of a road that is under
construction.
The XMNavTraffic™ service covers many major
metropolitan markets. For the most current list of
markets covered, please refer to
www.xmnavtraffic.com or call XMRadio cus-
tomer support at 1–800–XM-RADIO
(1–800–967–2346) .
