Identification Number). Thus, you can use your SYNC TDI Service with
any vehicle equipped with Traffic, Directions and Information. Simply

suggestions if doing so would result in an unsafe or illegal maneuver, if
you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would be directed
into an area that you consider unsafe. Maps used by this system may be
inaccurate because of errors, changes in roads, traffic conditions or
driving conditions.
