[Minimize Freeway] Minimizes the use of freeways.

system prioritizes roads that are easy to drive on for safety reasons.
[Other Routing
Choices] [Minimize Toll Roads] Minimizes the use of toll roads.
[Time Restricted Rd] [Use Restriction Info] Calculates route taking time restriction information into considera-
tion.

[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.
[Use HOV Lanes] Uses the HOV lanes.
[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:
. If the vehicle greatly deviates from the suggested route, the system calculates a new route.
. Traffic jam information displayed on the map screen is not statistical traffic information.
. If [Do Not Use Restriction Info] is selected for [Time Restricted Rd] setting, the system calculates a route without any consideration of the regulations
concerning the time or day of the week. Therefore, 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 [Time Restricted Rd] is set to be considered or not.
. Even when [Use Real Time Traffic Information] is turned on, if traffic information has not been provided for the area, a detour may not always be indicated
in a location where a traffic jam occurs.
. The system calculates to reduce the time required for the entire route from the start to the 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.
. The system may not lead to a detour if traffic closure or a traffic jam occurs far from the present location.

VIEWING TRAFFIC INFORMA-
TION
SiriusXM Traffic information is a subscription
service offered by SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
This service provides real-time information re-
garding traffic flow, accidents, road construction
and other incidents, where available.
SiriusXM Traffic combines information from
commercial and public traffic data providers
including government departments of transpor-
tation, police, emergency services, road sensors,
cameras and aircraft reports. The traffic informa-
tion is broadcast to the vehicle by the SiriusXM
satellites. Available traffic information on the
route the driver selected is shown on the
navigation screen so traffic conditions between
you and the destination are known. Three types
of real-time traffic information for major roadways
are shown on the navigation system:
* Unscheduled traffic data for example, accidents
and disabled vehicles.
* Scheduled traffic data, for example road
construction and road closures.
* Traffic flow information (rate of speed data) .
WARNING
SiriusXM Traffic information is not a
substitute for attentive driving. Traffic
conditions change constantly and emer-
gency situations can arise without warn-
ing. Relying only on SiriusXM Traffic
information may lead to a collision and
could result in serious personal injury.
NOTE:
. Flow information is provided only for
roads equipped with traffic sensors and
is not available in all markets covered
by the service. Flow data may not be
available on portions of a road that is
under construction.
. A SiriusXM Traffic subscription is ne-
cessary to view Traffic Info.
