### XM NavTraffic™ (USA and Canada)

Your vehicle's navigation system may have an XM NavTraffic receiver. XM NavTraffic is a subscription service provided via XM™ Satellite Radio. XM NavTraffic provides real-time traffic information fully integrated to the navigation system to display current traffic conditions for a driver’s chosen route. XM NavTraffic allows drivers to make the most informed, timesaving routing decisions.

If the Traffic touch screen button is pressed or if the traffic display in the Navigation Setup Menu is attempted to be turned on without a subscription, a warning screen displays indicating that XM traffic is not activated.

Three types of traffic information for major roadways are displayed on the navigation system:

• | Unscheduled traffic incident data, such as accidents and disabled vehicles

• | Scheduled traffic incident data, such as road construction and road closures

• | Traffic flow information (rate of speed data)

Traffic information is delivered to the vehicle by the XM™ Radio satellites. XM NavTraffic makes it possible for the navigation system to provide continuously updated traffic information personalized for a driver’s needs.

XM NavTraffic currently broadcasts the traffic information for many markets nationally, and the service may be available in more cities in the future. Visit xmnavtraffic.com for more details on local coverage.

A service fee is required in order to receive the XM NavTraffic service.

If the voice prompts are on, whenever an Alert for Approaching Traffic or Alert if Better route Available is displayed, the system gives the related voice prompt. The content of the voice prompt depends on actual traffic event data.

The RPT (Repeat) hard key is for navigation traffic maneuvers only. It is not used to repeat traffic prompts. During a traffic voice prompt, if RPT is pressed, the current prompt playback cancels.
