V e r i fi ed streets Unverifi ed streets
When
displayed These roads are found within metropolitan areas, and
include interstate freeways and major roads connecting
cities. These roads are found in rural areas, and typically include
residential streets away from the center of a town.
Street color Shown as red (freeways), pink (state routes), or gray
(ver i fi
ed streets) on the daytime map screen. Shown on the daytime map
screen as purple.
Map quality The database vendor has verifi
ed these streets.
Information like turn restrictions, average speed, and
whether it is a one-way street have been gathered and used
when creating your route to a destination. These streets have not been verifi
ed by the database
vendor. The system does not contain information on one-
way streets, turn restrictions, or the road’s average speed.
They are shown on the map for reference and may have
errors in map location, naming, and address range.
Routing
differences While driving to your destination, the displayed route line
is solid blue. The system provides voice and map guidance
to your destination.
Your route line is either a purple dotted “vector line,” or
a dashed pink/blue line. For information on selecting this
option, and the routing differences, see
Unverifi ed Area
Routing on page 102 .
Cautions There are no pop-up boxes urging extra caution during
a route. However, because roads constantly change, you
are urged to use common sense, and always obey posted
traffi
c restrictions. Regardless of whether the user chooses route guidance,
there are cautionary screens before and during the route
urging the user to be extra cautious, and obey all traffi
c
restrictions. See Unverifi ed Area Routing on page 102 .
Guidance
voice Voice guidance issues instructions such as “In a half-mile,
make a right turn.”
The phrase “if possible” is added to each guidance
instruction. For example: “In a half-mile, make a right
turn, if possible.”
Time and
distance
“to go” The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to
a destination, is based on the average speed and distance
for the roads used for your route.
The time and distance “to go,” displayed while en route to
a destination, is based on the average speed and distance
for the roads used for your route.

NOTE:
When driving to a destination on freeways that have traffi c fl ow data, the route line
is used to display moderate and heavy traffi c fl ow status instead of the colored bands
on the side of the road. The route line color indicates the following conditions:
• Free Flow Traffi c - A section of the blue route line will be bordered with a light
green line (this may be diffi cult to see).
• Moderate Traffi c Flow - A section of the route line will change from green to orange.
• Heavy Traffi c Flow - A section of the route line will change from green to red.
• Unknown Traffi c Flow - A section of the route will not be bordered with traffi c
fl ow.

Getting Started
24 Navigation System

Viewing Flow Data
Tra f fi c fl ow data is displayed as colored
bands on either side of the freeway (see
Traffi c Display Legend on page 22 ).
The different colored bands represent
the average road speeds as determined
by under-road sensors and other probes.
While driving to your destination on
a road that has traffi c fl ow data, your
route line color is used to display the
traffi c fl ow data. This means that
when the map scale is set to one of
the traffi c scales (1/20 through 5 mile
scale), your blue route line may appear
as alternating orange, red, or green
segments (see Traffi c Display Legend
on page 22 ).
NOTE:
A blue route line segment on a freeway
can mean one of two things:
• Under-road sensors, GPS probes, cell phone probes, and other
methods used to collect traffi c speed
information indicate free-fl ow traffi c.
• The road has no sensors, and traffi c
conditions are unknown (they could
be congested). Naturally, only roads with these sensors
will show traffi
c information. The
amount of fl ow data varies considerably
from one city to another. This map
display is refreshed continuously.
You can only view traffi c information
from within 200 miles of the vehicle’s
location.
NOTE:
• Traffi c fl ow and incident icons are displayed on the 5 miles (8 km) or
less map scale.
• Not all freeways within a metropolitan area have traffi c fl ow
data (colored bands on the side of
the freeways) - this is normal, and
you cannot assume that a lack of
data implies no traffi c.
• Not all cities have traffi c fl ow information. See cities listed on page
14 2 .
• Due to freeway maintenance and construction, traffi c fl ow may be
available only for one side of a
road, or be missing entirely for some
portion of the freeway. • The displayed traffi c fl ow may
confl ict with other audio- or Internet-
based traffi c information.
• If traffi c fl ow is not showing, verify that the “TRAFFIC” selection for
the Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon
options for traffi c are both ON (see
page 67 ).

System Function Diagram
This diagram shows the navigation
system features, starting at the center
and working outward in layers. The
navigation program starts at “Key
ON,” and then displays the globe
screen (blue). If OK is selected on the
Disclaimer screen, the functions in the
yellow segments of the diagram become
available in the SET UP and INFO

The items above the map screen show
various methods to begin driving to
your destination (orange). You are
provided with map/voice guidance,
routing cautions, and a direction list.
While driving to your destination, use
the voice control system as much as
possible to interact with the navigation,
audio, and climate control systems
(green).
