Infotainment System 7-85
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 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
www.xmnavtraffic.com for more
details on local coverage.
A service fee is required in order to
receive the XM NavTraffic service.

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 Global Positioning System (GPS)
on page 7‑94. 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.
