Traffic Options (US and
Canada)
Read the following Options
descriptions to understand how the
XM NavTraffic™operates.
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.
Turning XM NavTraffic On and Off
To turn traffic on or off:
1. Press CONFIG, then press CONFIG repeatedly until Nav is
selected or press the Nav
screen button.
2. Press the Traffic Options button.

7-94 Infotainment System
Avoid:This button is used to avoid
the location of an event on the
route. If pressed, a new route is
calculated and the related traffic
event is avoided. After the new
route has been calculated, the
navigation system goes to the full
map screen and shows the new
route.
The Avoid button is only available if
the event is on the route ahead.
Traffic Voice Prompts
The traffic voice prompts are part of
the current navigation voice
prompts. If the navigation voice
prompts are turned off, all traffic
prompts are also turned off.
If the voice prompts are on,
whenever an Alert for Approaching
Traffic is displayed, the system
gives the related voice prompt. The
content of the voice prompt
depends on actual traffic event data.
The RPT (Repeat) button is for
navigation traffic maneuvers only.
It is not used to repeat traffic prompts. During a traffic voice
prompt, if RPT is pressed, the
current prompt playback cancels.
Traffic prompts are disabled during
OnStar (if equipped) or Voice
Recognition activity.
XM Weather (If Equipped)
Press the Weather screen button to
display the Current or Extended
Forecast Weather.
The Extended Forecast Weather
screen displays five days of the
forecasted weather at the vehicle’s
current position.
Press the Location button located
near the top leftside of the screen to
change the current location to a new
location from a list of 156 supported
cities. The display will then update
the extended forecast for the new
chosen location.
Press the Current Weather button
located near the bottom leftside of
the Extended Forecast Screen to
display the current weather at the
vehicle’s current position. Weather
alerts will also be displayed in the
Alerts nearby area. These alerts
include Flash Flood Warning, Flood
Warning, Special Marine Warning,
Tornado Warning, and
Thunderstorm Warning.
