Setting an alternative route to
avoid traffic congestion
The navigation system checks at certain time
intervals whether or not there is the traffic in-
formation on your route. If the navigation sys-
tem detects any traffic congestion on your
current route, the system tries to find a better
route in the background.
p
Following types of traffic incidents on the
route will be checked: stop and go, stopped
traffic, and closed/blocked roads.
p
Traffic flow information is taken into ac-
count only when [
Traffic Flow
] in [
Traffic
Settings
] is checked.
Checking for traffic congestion
automatically
If there is information about traffic congestion
on your current route and if an alternative
route can be found, the navigation system will
recommend a new alternative route automati-
cally. In such a case, the following screen will
appear.
p
There is no action if the system cannot find
any traffic congestion information on your
route or the system cannot find an alterna-
tive.

tween the existing route and new route.
