DISPLAY URGENT TRAFFIC INFOR-
MATION
When an urgent event is found around the
current vehicle location, a message pops up
automatically with a voice announcement.
The message includes the icon, event type,
event information and the direct distance from
the current location to the event.
INFO:
. Urgent traffic information is displayed re-
gardless of whether the traffic information
system is on or off.
. When there are multiple urgent events, the
event with the shortest direct distance from
the current location is displayed.
. If the urgent event is on the recommended
route, and if a detour is found, the detour
route notification screen is displayed when
the vehicle approaches the detour point.TRAFFIC INFORMATION ON MAP

INFO:
. The vehicle icon may be misaligned when
starting the vehicle just after starting the
engine.
. The vehicle icon may also be misaligned if
different sized tires or tire chains are
installed.
. The system has a function that automatically
corrects the vehicle icon position when it is
misaligned from the actual position.
. Vehicle position correction by GPS may not
function when the vehicle is stopped.
. If the vehicle icon position does not return to
normal even after driving for a while, correct
the vehicle icon position manually.

DETAILED MAP COVERAGE AREAS
(MCA) FOR THE NAVIGATION SYS-
TEM
This system is designed to help you reach your
destination, and it also performs other functions
as outlined in this manual. However, you, the
driver, must use the system safely and properly.
Information concerning road conditions, traffic
signs and the availability of services may not
always be up-to-date. The system is not a
substitute for safe, proper and legal driving. Map
data covers select metropolitan areas in the
United States and Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas: “Detailed
coverage areas” providing all detailed road data
and other areas showing “Main roads only”.
NOTE:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select
major metropolitan areas.
WHEN A GRAY ROAD IS DISPLAYED
ON THE MAP
. When you are driving on a road displayed in
gray after the vehicle has deviated from the
suggested route during route guidance, automatic rerouting may not start immedi-
ately.
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in dark
green. Therefore, if the destination is set on
a road displayed in dark green, the enlarged
map display will return to the ordinary map
screen at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination. Also, voice
guidance will stop at some point on a
suggested route that is near the destination.
. POI information and street names near
roads displayed in gray may not be con-
tained in the map data.
General system information10-7
— If the destination, current vehicle positionor waypoint is within the “Avoid Area”.
— If a part of the route is included in the “Avoid Area”.
. The following may occur when the route is
displayed.
— If you calculate a route on a main road,
the starting point of the route may not
exactly match the current vehicle loca-
tion.
— The endpoint of the route may not exactly match the destination.
— If you calculate a route on a main road, the system may display a route from
another main road. This may be because
the position of the vehicle icon is not
accurate. In this case, park the vehicle in
a safe location and reset the vehicle
icon, or continue driving to see if the
position of the vehicle icon is automati-
cally adjusted before recalculating the
route.
— There are cases in which the system shows an indirect route to reach the
destination or waypoints, if you set them
from stored or facility information. In
order to correct this, you must be careful
about the traffic direction, especially
when lanes with different travel direc- tions are shown separately, such as
interchanges and service areas.
— This system makes no distinction be- tween limited traffic control and total
control (blockage) . It may show an
indirect route even if the road is usable.
— Even if the freeway preference is set to OFF, a route that uses the freeway may
be suggested.
— Even if the preference is set to OFF, a route that uses a ferry line may be
suggested.
— Ferry lines, excluding those that are only for pedestrians, bicycles and motor-
cycles, are stored in this system. Take
into consideration the travel time re-
quired and operational condition before
deciding whether to use them or not.INFO:
The system will only announce street names
when the system language is set to English.
Street names are not announced when the
system is set to Franc¸ ais (French) .
BASICS OF VOICE GUIDANCE
Voice guidance announces which direction to
turn when approaching an intersection in which
a turn is necessary.
NOTE:
. There may be some cases in which
voice guidance and actual road condi-
tions do not correspond. This may
occur because of discrepancies be-
tween the actual road and the informa-
tion on the map data, or it is due to the
vehicle’s speed.
. In case voice guidance does not corre-
spond to the actual road conditions,
follow the information obtained from
traffic signs or notices on the road.
ROUTE GUIDANCE
General system information10-9
.Because it is not possible to consider data
concerning roads that are seasonally avail-
able or unavailable, a route may be displayed
that does not match the actual traffic
restrictions. Be sure to follow the actual
traffic restrictions while driving.
. Canada and Alaska contain many roads with
incomplete map data. As a result, when
searching for a route, the route may include
roads with incomplete data. In regions
where road data is not complete, voice
guidance may stop for long periods of time.
Be sure to follow the actual traffic restric-
tions while driving. .
The XM NavTraffic®information service is
not provided for some cities. In addition, the
cities for which the traffic information service
is provided may be changed.
. In some cases, infrastructure problems may
prevent the complete display of the traffic
information. This is not a malfunction.
. Due to infrastructure problems, or due to the
time when the traffic information service
broadcast is received, the displayed infor-
mation may differ from the actual traffic
conditions.
. Depending on the traffic information, a
detour route may be slower than the original
route.

plete listing of emergency services
such as police stations, fire halls,
hospitals and walk-in clinics.
Please show discretion and ask
for directions in such instances.

while driving.
— In order to avoid a traffic acci- dent, operate the system only
when the vehicle is stopped at a
safe place and the parking
brake is on.
— In order to avoid a traffic acci- dent or traffic offence, remem-
ber that actual road conditions
and traffic regulations take pre-
cedence over the information
contained on the navigation sys- tem.
— The Software may contain inac- curate or incomplete informa-
tion due to the passage of
time, changing circumstances,
and the sources of information
used. Please respect current
traffic conditions and regula-

— Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ
from the information contained
on the navigation system, abide
by the highway regulations.
— Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving
to a strict minimum.
The navigation system does not provide,
nor represent in any way information on:
traffic and highway regulations; technical
aspects of the vehicle including weight,
height, width, load and speed limits; road
conditions including grade, percentage of
incline and surface conditions; obstacles
such as the height and width of bridges
and tunnels; and other current driving or road conditions. Always rely on your own
