Traffic Information
When you set the traffic feature, the system examines the current traffic and
optimizes the route for the shortest time. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your
route while you are navigating, the system re calculates the route. If there is a new
route, the system will prompt you and you can choose to accept the new route.
The traffic icon changes color to indicate the severity of traffic conditions on your

a traffic delay if a better alternative route do es not exist. The delay time is added into
your estimated time of arrival automatically.
