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.
5-46

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.
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.

and the related traffic event is avoided. After the new
route has been calculated, the navigation system goes

The Avoid button is only available if the event is on the
route ahead.
Traffic Voice Prompts

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

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.

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 website, gmnavdisc.com. If you need any
updates or a replacement disc, because the current disc
is lost, damaged, or needs to be updated, call the GM
Nav Disc Center or order a new disc online. To order a
disc, have your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
available. This helps the center make sure you receive
the correct and most up-to-date DVD map disc for your
vehicle. See“Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)” in
the Index of your vehicle's owner manual for more
information.
After receiving the updated disc, replace the old disc in
the navigation system. See “Installing the DVD Map
Disc” and“Ejecting the DVD Map Disc” underMaps
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
on
page 5‑58on how to obtain updated map information.
Navigation Audio System
Notice: Before adding any sound equipment to
the vehicle, such as an audio system, CD player,
CB radio, mobile telephone, or two-way radio, make
sure that it can be added by checking with your
dealer/retailer. Also, check federal rules covering
mobile radio and telephone units. If sound
equipment can be added, it is very important to do it
properly. Added sound equipment can interfere with
the operation of the vehicle's engine, radio, or other
systems, and even damage them. The vehicle's
systems can interfere with the operation of sound
equipment that has been added.
Notice: The chime signals related to safety belts,
parking brake, and other functions of the vehicle
operate through the navigation system. If that
equipment is replaced or additional equipment is
added to the vehicle, the chimes may not work.
Make sure that replacement or additional equipment
is compatible with the vehicle before installing it.
See “Accessories and Modifications” in the Index of
the vehicle's owner manual.
