routes. After the route search is completed,

shortest route because the system priori-
tizes 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/Add to
Route].

. If no route is set, or [Use Real Time Traffic
Information] 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
automatically canceled.
. The detour suggestion may be retrieved
even after the message disappears by
manually selecting [Traffic Detour]. The
system will then search for the detour again
and suggests a detour if one is available at
that time.
. Without a subscription to an XM NavTraffic
®
broadcast, it will not be possible to get a traffic detour or apply settings for traffic
information related functions. A message
appears when a related menu item is
selected.
. See “NOTES ON XM NavTraffic
®INFOR-
MATION” for further information.

. [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 XM broadcast.
. [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
traveled 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
shortest route because the system priori-
tizes easy-to-drive roads for safety reasons.
. If route conditions are set from [Route
Settings], all sections in the route are subject to the same route conditions even
though different route conditions are set for
different sections in [Edit/Add to Route].
. If [Use Time Restricted Roads] is deacti-
vated, the system calculates a route without
any consideration of the regulations con-
cerning the time or day of the week. There-
fore, 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
regardless of whether [Use Time Restricted
Roads] is ON or OFF.
. If the system cannot calculate any alternative
routes, it displays the previous route.
. If the vehicle overly deviates from the
suggested route, the system calculates a
new route.
. Statistical traffic information is based on
previous traffic data. When the traffic situa-
tion rapidly changes due to unexpected
accidents, construction work, traffic restric-
tions, emergencies, etc., the prediction
accuracy of the system may be reduced.
. Traffic jam information displayed on the map
screen is not statistical traffic information. .
When [Use Statistical Traffic Information] is
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 when [Use Real Time Traffic Informa-
tion] 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
required 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,
despite 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 Roads] is turned on.
