Using the built-in receiver, the navigation system can receive and use traffic information. When a traffic
message is received, you can see the event on the map and change your route to avoid the traffic incident.

Understanding FM TMC Traffic

FM TMC traffic receivers receive traffic information
that is broadcast over the FM Radio Data System.
The FM TMC subscription activates automatically
after your navigation system acquires satellite
signals while receiving traffic signals from the
service provider.

About the Traffic Icon

traffic icon appears on the Map. The traffic icon
changes color to indicate the severity of traffic
conditions.

Traffic on Your Route

When calculating your route, the navigation
system examines the current traffic and
automatically optimizes the route for the shortest
time. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route
while you are navigating, your navigation system
automatically recalculates the route.
The traffic icon changes color to indicate the
severity of traffic conditions on your route or on
the road you are currently traveling.
Your navigation system may route you through a
traffic delay if a better alternative route does not
exist. The delay time is added into your estimated
time of arrival automatically.
