See Figure 1. The navigation system can provide traffic information when RDS Traffic (TMC) or SiriusXM Traffic is equipped on the vehicle and available in the region. When traffic is enabled, the map shows traffic flow and events along the currently selected route. Refer to Table 1. and Table 2 for traffic icon descriptions.
The system also stores a list of all traffic events that are nearby or along the active route. When an event (such as an accident or lane closure) is discovered along the current route, the navigation system notifies of the event and may attempt to calculate an alternate route. The system will either prompt to make the change or will automatically adjust the route, according to the system settings.
