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

timesaving routing decisions.

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:

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)
