Acura 2009 MDX - Manual (Page 24)

24 Navigation System
Getting Started
Naturally, only roads with these sensors
or probes will show traffic information.
The amount of flow data varies
considerably from one city to another.
This map display is refreshed
continuously. You can only view traffic
information in the city where you are
located.
NOTE:
• Traffic flow and incident icons are
displayed on the 1/2, 1, 2, and 5 mile
scales (800 m, 1600 m, 3 km, 8 km
scales).
• Not all freeways within a
metropolitan area have traffic flow
data (colored bands on the side of the
freeways) - this is normal, and you
cannot assume that a lack of data
implies no traffic.
• Not all cities have traffic flow
information. See cities listed on
page
133 .
• Due to freeway maintenance and
construction, traffic flow may be
available only for one side of a road,
or be missing entirely for some
portion of the freeway.
• The displayed traffic flow may
disagree with information from other
audio or Internet-based traffic
displays.
• If traffic flow is not showing, verify
that the “TRAFFIC” selection for the
Icon Bar is ON, and that the icon
options for traffic are both ON (see
page
66 ).
Viewing Incident Reports
Incident reports appear as small
diamond or circle-shaped icons (see
Traffic Display Legend on page
22 for
examples). There are three ways to view
traffic incidents:
• By voice control, say “Display traffic
incidents.”
• Select “Traffic Incidents” from the
Map menu.
• Select an incident icon from the map
screen.
NOTE:
The first method is recommended
because it works on any scale and
requires the minimum input.
Listing Traffic Incidents by Voice
Control
From the map screen (any scale), say
“Display traffic incidents” or “Display
traffic list.” A list of all incidents within
the metro traffic area will be displayed.
Incidents are listed by distance from
your current position outward in all
directions. To view an incident’s details,
select an incident from the list, and push
in on the
Interface Dial .
