[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:
. Only one of these route condition can be
utilized at a time.
. The recalculated route may not be the
shortest route because the system prior-
itizes roads that are easy to drive on for
safety reasons.
. If route conditions are set from [Search
Criteria], all sections in the route are
subject to the same route conditions
even though different route conditions
have been set for different sections in
[Edit Route].
. If [Use Time Restricted Roads] is deac-
tivated, the system calculates a route
without any consideration of the regula-
tions 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 [Use Time Re-
stricted Roads] is set to be considered or not.
. If the system cannot calculate any alter-
native routes, the previous route is
displayed.
. 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.
. Even when [Use Real Time Traffic Info]
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 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 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.

VIEWING AVAILABLE TRAFFIC
INFORMATION
NavTraffic information is a subscription
service offered by SiriusXM Satellite Radio.
This service provides real-time information
regarding traffic flow, accidents, road con-
struction and other incidents, where avail-
able.
NavTraffic combines information from com-
mercial and public traffic data providers
including government departments of trans-
portation, police, emergency services, road
sensors, cameras and aircraft reports. The
traffic information 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
NavTraffic information is not a substi-
tute for attentive driving. Traffic condi-
tions change constantly and emergency
situations can arise without warning.
Relying only on NavTraffic 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 construc-
tion.
