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.

Detailed Map Coverage Areas
(MCA) for navigation system
This system is designed to help guiding to
the destination, and it also performs other
functions as outlined in this manual. How-
ever, the system must be used safely and
properly. Information concerning road con-
ditions, traffic signs and the availability of
services may not always be up-to-date. The system is not a substitute for safe, proper
and legal driving.
Map data covers select metropolitan areas
in the United States and Canada.
Map data includes two types of areas:
“Detailed coverage areas” providing all de-
tailed road data and other areas showing
“Main roads only”.
INFO:
Detailed map data is not available in many
areas and is generally limited to select major
metropolitan areas.
When gray road is displayed on map
. When you are driving on a road displayed
in gray after the vehicle has deviated
from the suggested route during route
guidance, automatic rerouting may not
start immediately.
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in
dark green. Therefore, if the destination
is set on a road displayed in dark green,
the enlarged map display will return to
the ordinary map screen at some point
on a suggested route that is near the
destination. Also, voice guidance will

stop at some point on a suggested route
that is near the destination.
. Places information and street names
near roads displayed in gray may not be
contained in the map data.
ROUTE CALCULATION
.There may be cases where carpool lanes
are included on a suggested route when
the automatic rerouting function is acti-
vated, even if the [Use Time Restricted

“Route Settings” (page 9-42)
. The navigation system does not provide
route guidance for roads displayed in
dark green.
. If the destination is set on a dark green
road, the enlarged map display will
switch to the ordinary map screen at
some point and suggest a route that is
near the destination. The distance and
direction to the endpoint of the sug-
gested route will be displayed in the
lower right corner of the screen. Also, at
this time, voice guidance will announce,
“The route to the destination includes
roads through incomplete map areas.
Voice guidance will not be provided in
these areas.” When approaching the endpoint of the
suggested route, voice guidance will
announce, “Entering the road with in-
complete map data. Use the direction
arrow and distance information to pro-
ceed to your destination.”
To reach the destination, refer to the
map screen. Always follow actual roads
and regulations and drive safely.
. The suggested route may not be the
shortest, nor are other circumstances
such as traffic jams considered.
. Because of the inevitable difference in
road conditions and circumstances be-
tween the time you use this system and
the time the information was produced
for the map data, there may be discre-
pancies in roads and regulations. In such
cases, actual road conditions and regula-
tions take precedence over map data
information.
. During route calculation, the map will not
scroll, however the vehicle icon will move
according to the actual vehicle’s move-

WARNING
.This navigation system should not be
used as a substitute for your own
judgement. Any route suggestions
made by this navigation system may
never override any local traffic reg-
ulations, your own judgement, and/or
knowledge of safe driving practices.
Disregard route suggestions by the
navigation system if such suggestions
would: cause you to perform an
hazardous or illegal maneuver, place
you in an hazardous situation, or
route you into an area you consider
unsafe.
. The advice provided by the navigation
system is to be regarded only as a
suggestion(s). There may be situa-
tions where the navigation system
displays the vehicle’s location incor-
rectly, fails to suggest the shortest
course, and/or fails to direct you to
your desired destination. In such si-
tuations, rely on your own driving
judgement, taking into account the
current driving conditions. .
Do not use the navigation system to
route you to emergency services. The
database does not contain a complete
listing of the locations of emergency
service providers such as police, fire
stations, hospitals and clinics. Please
use your judgement and your ability
to ask for directions in these situa-
tions.
. As the driver you solely are respon-
sible for your driving safety.
— In order to avoid traffic accidents, do not operate the system while
driving.
— In order to avoid traffic accidents, operate the system only when the
vehicle is stopped at a safe place
and the parking brake is set.
— In order to avoid traffic accidents or traffic offence, remember that the
actual road conditions and traffic
regulations take precedence over
the information contained on the
navigation system.
— Accordingly, the Software may con- tain inaccurate or incomplete infor-
mation due the passage of time,
changing circumstances, and the nature of the sources used. Please
observe the actual traffic circum-
stances and regulations at all times
while driving.
— In a situation when the actual road conditions and traffic regulations
differ from the information con-
tained on the navigation system,
abide by the traffic rules.
— The navigation system does not provide, or account for in any way,
information regarding traffic and
road laws; speed restrictions; road
conditions including road slope,
grade, and/or surface conditions;
obstruction information including
bridge and tunnel height and width,
and/or other prevailing driving
and/or road conditions. Always rely
on your own driving judgment, tak-
ing into account the current driving
conditions.
— Minimize the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving.

VEHICLE ICON
SymptomPossible cause Possible solution
Names of roads and locations differ
between Plan View and Birdview™. This is because the quantity of the displayed information is
reduced so that the screen does not become too cluttered.
There is also a chance that names of the roads or locations
may be displayed multiple times, and the names appearing
on the screen may be different because of a processing
procedure. This is not a malfunction.
The vehicle icon is not displayed in the
correct position. The vehicle was transported after the ignition switch was
pushed off, for example, by a ferry or car transporter. Drive the vehicle for a period of time on a road
where GPS signals can be received.
The position and direction of the vehicle icon may be
incorrect depending on the driving environments and the
levels of positioning accuracy of the navigation system. This is not a malfunction. Drive the vehicle for
a period of time to automatically correct the
position and direction of the vehicle icon.
“Current vehicle location” (page 9-59)
When the vehicle is traveling on a new
road, the vehicle icon is located on
another road nearby. Because the new road is not stored in the map data, the
system automatically places the vehicle icon on the nearest
road available. Updated road information will be included in
the next version of the map data.
The screen does not switch to the night
screen even after turning on the head-
lights. The daytime screen was set the last time the headlights
were turned on.
