lected.
. If the system cannot calculate a detour with
the specified conditions, it displays the
previous suggested route.
. If the vehicle is traveling very fast, the detour
route may start from a location that the
vehicle has already passed.
SEARCHING FOR DETOUR ROUTE
TAKING TRAFFIC INFORMATION INTO
CONSIDERATION
When a serious traffic event occurs on the route,
or if the system finds a faster route, a detour alert
will pop up automatically. If the automatic alert is
missed, a detour can also be searched for
manually.
1. Push .
2. Highlight [Traffic Detour] and push .

3. When the detour search is successful,detailed information about the detour route
(left screen) and the comparison screen of
the two routes (right screen) are displayed.
*1Original route (yellow)
*2Detour route (pink)
*3The change of distance and estimated
travel time to destination when the
detour route is taken.
4. To accept the suggested detour route, highlight [Yes], and then push .
INFO:
. 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 a 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 NavTraffic INFORMA-
TION” for further information.
“Notes on NavTraffic information”
(page 10-13)
Automatic detour guidance
When [Auto Reroute] and [Use Real Time Traffic
Information] are turned on in the detailed route
settings, a message will automatically pop up
when the system finds a detour.
“Detailed route settings” (page 5-24)
1. If a traffic jam or a serious traffic problem
occurs on the route while driving along the
suggested route, the automatic detour route
search starts and a message pops up if a
detour is found. 2. To accept the suggested detour route,
highlight [Yes] and push .
INFO:
. If no operation is performed for one minute
after the message is displayed, the message
disappears. The detour will not be accepted,
and the current suggested route will remain
unchanged.
. When the [Traffic Announcement] is turned
on in the guidance settings, the system will
announce voice guidance at the same time
that the message appears on the screen.

screen is displayed.
Available conditions: . [Fastest Route]:
Prioritizes by the fastest time. .
[Minimize Freeway]:
Minimizes the use of motorways.
. [Shortest Route]:
Prioritizes by the shortest route.
INFO:
Only one of these conditions can be utilized at a
time.
Voice command
1. Push >located on the steering
wheel switch.
2. After the tone sounds, speak a command. To set conditions for the route calculation
(Alternate command mode):
“Fastest Route”
“Minimize Freeway Route”
“Shortest Route”
Detailed route settings
Detailed conditions can be set for the route
calculation.
Basic operation:
1. Push .
2. Highlight [Route Settings] and push .
3. Highlight [Other Routing Choices] and push .
4. Highlight the preferred condition and push . The indicator for the selected
condition illuminates.
5. If [Route Settings] is exited after changing the settings, the system starts calculating
the route with the new conditions.
Available setting items: . [Minimize Toll Roads]:
Minimizes the use of toll roads.
. [Use Time Restricted Roads]:
Uses any roads subject to time restrictions.

.[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 SiriusXM 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.
