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.

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.

Antilock Brake System (ABS) This vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS), an
advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent
a braking skid.
When the engine is started and the vehicle begins to
drive away, ABS checks itself. A momentary motor or
clicking noise might be heard while this test is going on.
This is normal.
If there is a problem with
ABS, this warning light
stays on. See Antilock
Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light on
page 4 ‑ 34 .
Along with ABS, the vehicle has a Dynamic Rear
Proportioning (DRP) system. If there is a DRP problem,
both the brake and ABS warning lights come on
accompanied by a 10 ‐ second chime. The lights and
chime will come on each time the ignition is turned on
until the problem is repaired. See your dealer for
service. Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely.
Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam
on the brakes and continue braking. Here is what
happens with ABS:
A computer senses that the wheels are slowing down.
If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the
computer will separately work the brakes at each front
wheel and at both rear wheels.
ABS can change the brake pressure to each wheel, as
required, faster than any driver could. This can help the
driver steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As the brakes are applied, the computer keeps
receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking
pressure accordingly.
Remember: ABS does not change the time needed to
get a foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease
stopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in
front of you, there will not be enough time to apply the
brakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always
leave enough room up ahead to stop, even with ABS.
