Using XM NavTraffic Informa- tion

If you have a GEX-P10XMT XM Digital Satellite Data & Audio Receiver (sold separately) attached to the navigation system, and have an active sub- scription to XM NavTraffic service, you can view current traffic conditions and information on your navigation display. When the unit receives updated traffic information, the navigation sys- tem will overlay the traffic information on your map, and also display detailed text information when available. When you are traveling along a route and there is traffic information on your cur- rent route, the system will detect it, and ask you if you would like to be rerouted, or suggest another route automatically.

❒The system acquires the traffic information in the range between 20 miles and 100 miles in diameter from the vehicle position. (Accord- ing to the amount of traffic information acquired at the same time, the reception range is automatically adjusted in the range between 20 miles and 100 miles with your vehicle at the center.)
