Navigation System 73
Driving to Your Destination
Traffic Rerouting
When driving en route to your
destination, if the system detects a
traffic incident to be avoided ahead on
the route, the system automatically
calculates the detour route and displays
the pop-up box which shows you the
information of the incident.
You can manually recalculate the route
avoiding the road with the traffic event
icon. Say “Display traffic incidents” or
“Display traffic list,” and select the “On
Route” tab on the
Traffic Incidents
screen. You can also select Traffic
Incidents from the Map menu or the
INFO screen ( Main Info ).
Select an incident from the list, and push
in on the
Interface Dial twice. The
system will read the incident
information, displaying the
confirmation screen:
When you say or select Avoid , the
system recalculates a detour route
avoiding the road.
NOTE:
• When you select the “All” tab, Avoid
is not displayed.
• To activate this function, you need to
set Traffic Rerouting to ON in the
Routing & Guidance settings (see
page 106).
• Because the criterion for whether the
traffic event is to be detoured or not is
included in the traffic event data
itself, the traffic rerouting is not
performed for all the traffic incidents
ahead on the route.
• Even when the route recalculation is
performed for a traffic event, if the
system cannot find any detour route
or a quicker detour route, the event
location is not always avoided.
• Traffic rerouting is available only if
you have a current traffic/weather
subscription with XM. See page 117.
