: “Minimize Freeway”
: “Shortest Route”5. The system automatically recalculates a
route according to the conditions set.
Return to the “Edit/Add to Route” screen.6. By selecting “Calculate” the system will re-
calculate the routes. After the route search
is completed, the display will automatically
return to the present location screen.
INFO:
●The recalculated route may not be the short-
est route because the system prioritizes easy-
to-drive roads for safety reasons.
●If the route conditions are set from “Route
Settings”, all sections in the route are subject
to the same route conditions. This applies
even if different route conditions are set for
different sections in “Edit Route”.

SEARCHING FOR A DETOUR
ROUTE TAKING TRAFFIC INFORMA-
TION INTO CONSIDERATION
When a serious traffic event occurs on the route,
or if the system finds a faster route, a detour alert
will pop up automatically. If the automatic alert is
missed, a detour can also be searched for
manually.
1. Press ROUTE.
2. Select “Traffic Detour”.3. When the detour search is successful, de-
tailed information about the detour route
(left screen) and the comparison screen of
the two routes (right screen) are displayed.
1Original route (yellow)
2Detour route (pink)
3The change of distance and estimated
travel time to destination when the de-
tour route is taken.
4. To accept the suggested detour route, se-
lect “Yes”.
INFO:
●If no route is set, or “Use Real Time Traffic In-
formation” is turned off, this function cannot
be operated.

●If no detour route is selected and no further
action is provided, the detour route will be au-
tomatically cancelled.
●The detour suggestion may be retrieved even
after the message disappears by manually se-
lecting “Traffic Detour”. The system will then
search for the detour again and suggest a de-
tour if one is available at that time.
●Without a subscription to an XM NavTraffic
broadcast, it will not be possible to get a traf-
fic detour or apply settings for traffic informa-
tion related functions. A message appears
when a related menu item is selected.
●See “NOTES ON XM NavTrafficINFORMA-
TION” for further information.
Automatic detour guidance
WhenAuto RerouteandUse Real Time Traffic
Informationare turned on, a message will auto-
matically pop up when the system finds a detour.1. If a traffic jam or a serious traffic problem
occurs on the route while driving along the
suggested route, the automatic detour
route search starts and a message pops up
if a detour is found.
2. To accept the suggested detour route, se-
lect “Yes”.INFO:
●If no operation is performed for one minute af-
ter the message is displayed, the message
disappears. The detour will not be accepted,
and the current suggested route will remain
unchanged.
●When the “Traffic Announcement” is turned
on, the system will announce voice guidance
at the same time that the message appears on
the screen.

●“Use Statistical Traffic Information”:
Uses statistical traffic information that is
stored in the map data.
●“Use Real Time Traffic Information”:
Uses the latest traffic information received via
the XMbroadcast.
●“Use Avoid Area Settings”:
Enables the avoid area setting.
●“Use Ferries”:
Includes the use of ferries.
●“Use Learned Routes”:
Uses the roads that are most frequently trav-
eled with the help of self-learning technology.
●“Auto Reroute”:
If the vehicle deviates from the suggested
route, the system automatically recalculates a
route that leads the vehicle to the suggested
route.
INFO:
●The recalculated route may not be the short-
est route because the system prioritizes easy-
to-drive roads for safety reasons.
●If route conditions are set fromRoute
Settings, all sections in the route are subject
to the same route conditions even though dif-
ferent route conditions are set for different
sections inEdit/Add to Route.●IfUse Time Restricted Roadsis deactivated,
the system calculates a route without any
consideration of the regulations concerning
the time or day of the week. Therefore, the
suggested route may include a road subject
to traffic regulations concerning the time or
day of the week. When driving along the
route, always follow all traffic regulations re-
gardless of whetherUse Time Restricted
Roadsis ON or OFF.
●If the system cannot calculate any alternative
routes, it displays the previous route.
●If the vehicle overly deviates from the sug-
gested route, the system calculates a new
route.
●Statistical traffic information is based on pre-
vious traffic data. When the traffic situation
rapidly changes due to unexpected accidents,
construction work, traffic restrictions,
emergencies, etc., the prediction accuracy of
the system may be reduced.
●Traffic jam information displayed on the map
screen is not statistical traffic information.
●WhenUse Statistical Traffic Informationis
turned on, the system may lead to a road
where a traffic jam occurs or to a detour even
though the shortest route does not have a
traffic jam.●Even whenUse Real Time Traffic Information
is turned on, if traffic information has not been
provided for the area, sometimes it is possible
that a detour will not be indicated in a location
where a traffic jam occurs.
●The system may not lead to a detour if traffic
closure or a traffic jam occurs far from the
present location.
●The system calculates to reduce the time re-
quired for the entire route from the start to
destination. If there are no appropriate routes,
the system may lead to a route where a traffic
jam occurs instead of leading to a detour.
●This system can learn and memorize the route
that is most frequently used. However, de-
spite driving on the same route several times
so that the system can learn the route, the
system may have difficulty learning the route
under the following conditions:
–Use Time Restricted Roadis turned on.
–Use Real Time Traffic Infois turned on.
