XM NavTraffic™(USA and Canada)
Vehicles with the navigation system have anXM NavTraffic™receiver. XM NavTraffic™is asubscription service provided via XM™Satellite Radio.XM NavTraffic™provides real-time traffic informationfully integrated to the navigation system to displaycurrent traffic conditions for a driver’s chosen route.XM NavTraffic™allows drivers to make the mostinformed, timesaving routing decisions.
If the Traffic touch screen button is pressed or if anattempt is made to turn on the traffic display in theNavigation Setup Menu without a subscription, aCaution screen displays indicating that XM traffic isnot activated.
Three types of traffic information for major roadways aredisplayed on the navigation system:

.Traffic flow information (rate of speed data)
Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle bythe XM™Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic™makesit possible for the navigation system to providecontinuously updated traffic information personalizedfor a driver’s needs.

Global Positioning System (GPS)
The navigation system determines the position of thevehicle by using satellite signals, various vehiclesignals, and map data.
At times, other interferences such as the satellitecondition, road configuration, the condition of thevehicle and/or other circumstances can interfere withthe navigation system's ability to determine the accurateposition of the vehicle.
The GPS shows the current position of the vehicleusing signals sent by the GPS Satellites of the UnitedStates Department of Defense. When the vehicle is notreceiving signals from the satellites, a symbol appearson the map screen. Refer toSymbols on page 5!17.
This system may not be available or interferences mayoccur if any of the following are true:
.Signals are obstructed by tall buildings, trees, largetrucks, or a tunnel.
.Objects are located on the front dash of thevehicle.
.Satellites are being repaired or improved.
.After-market glass tinting has been applied to thevehicle's windshield.
Notice:Do not apply after-market glass tinting tothe vehicle's windows. Glass tinting interferes withthe system's ability to receive GPS signals andcauses the system to malfunction. The windowmight have to be replaced to correct the problem.This would not be covered by the warranty.
For more information if the GPS is not functioningproperly, seeIf the System Needs Serviceonpage 5!59andProblems with Route Guidanceonpage 5!58.
Vehicle Positioning
At times, the position of the vehicle on the map may beinaccurate due to one or more of the following reasons:
.Road system has changed.
.Vehicle is driving on slippery road surfaces suchas 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 alarge vehicle.
.Surface streets run parallel to a freeway.
.Vehicle has just been transferred by a vehiclecarrier or a ferry.
.Current position calibration is set incorrectly.

.Some routes may not be searched.
.The route to the destination may not be shown ifthere are new roads, if roads have recentlychanged, or if certain roads are not listed on themap DVD. SeeOrdering Map DVDs on page 5!59.

Antilock Brake System (ABS)
This vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS), anadvanced electronic braking system that helps preventa braking skid.
When the engine is started and the vehicle begins todrive away, ABS checks itself. A momentary motor orclicking noise might be heard while this test is going on.This is normal.
If there is a problem withABS, this warning lightstays on. SeeAntilockBrake System (ABS)Warning Lightonpage 4!34.
Along with ABS, the vehicle has a Dynamic RearProportioning (DRP) system. If there is a DRP problem,both the brake and ABS warning lights come onaccompanied by a 10!second chime. The lights andchime will come on each time the ignition is turned onuntil the problem is repaired. See your dealer/retailerfor service.
Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely.Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of you. You slamon the brakes and continue braking. Here is whathappens with ABS:
A computer senses that the wheels are slowing down.If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, thecomputer will separately work the brakes at each frontwheel and at both rear wheels.
ABS can change the brake pressure to each wheel, asrequired, faster than any driver could. This can help thedriver steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As the brakes are applied, the computer keepsreceiving updates on wheel speed and controls brakingpressure accordingly.
Remember: ABS does not change the time needed toget a foot up to the brake pedal or always decreasestopping distance. If you get too close to the vehicle infront of you, there will not be enough time to apply thebrakes if that vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Alwaysleave enough room up ahead to stop, even with ABS.
