Traffic Options Read the following Options descriptions to understand
how the XM NavTraffic ™ operates.
XM NavTraffic ™ (USA and Canada)Vehicles with the navigation system 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. 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. 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 flow 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.

Avoid: This button is used to avoid the location of an
event on the route. If selected, a new route is calculated
and the related traffic event is avoided. After the new
route has been calculated, the navigation system goes
to the full map screen and shows the new route.
The Avoid button is only available if the event is on the
route ahead.
Traffic Voice Prompts The traffic voice prompts are part of the current
navigation voice prompts. If the navigation voice
prompts are turned off, all traffic prompts are also
turned off.
If the voice prompts are on, whenever an Alert for
Approaching Traffic is displayed, the system gives the
related voice prompt. The content of the voice prompt
depends on actual traffic event data.
The RPT (Repeat) hard key is for navigation traffic
maneuvers only. It is not used to repeat traffic prompts.
During a traffic voice prompt, if RPT is pressed, the
current prompt playback cancels.
Traffic prompts are disabled during OnStar ®
or Voice
Recognition activity. Display

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 configuration, 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 to Symbols on page 5 ‑ 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. 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, see If the System Needs Service
on
page 5 ‑ 59
and Problems with Route Guidance on
page 5 ‑ 58 .
Vehicle Positioning At times, the position of the vehicle on the map may be
inaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons: .
Road system has changed. .
Vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces such as
in sand, gravel, and/or snow. .
Vehicle is traveling on winding roads. .
Vehicle is on a long straight road. .
Vehicle is approaching a tall building or a large
vehicle. .
Surface streets run parallel to a freeway. .
Vehicle has just been transferred by a vehicle
carrier or a ferry. .
Current position calibration is set incorrectly.

If you have any questions about the operation of
the navigation system or the update process, contact
the GM Nav Disc Center toll ‐ free phone number,
1 ‐ 877 ‐ NAV ‐ DISC (1 ‐ 877 ‐ 628 ‐ 3472) or go to the center's

Disc ” and “ Ejecting the DVD Map Disc ” under Maps
on
page 5 ‑ 14 . Dispose of the old disc to avoid confusion
about which disc is the most current.
Database Coverage Explanations Coverage area depends upon the map detail available.
Some areas have greater map detail than others. The
navigation system works only as well as the information
provided on the map disc. See Ordering Map DVDs
