Traffic information
The navigation system constantly receives traffic
information that is broadcast by local radio sta-
tions. This information will be shown on the map.
NOTE
Traffic information is not available in all areas.
Traffic information coverage is being
increased continuously.
See the article "Traffic settings" for the traffic-
related settings available to the driver.
Traffic jams, road construction areas, accidents,
etc. are shown on the map in the form of various
symbols if the map is sufficiently zoomed in .
This symbol indicates road construc-
tion.
In cases of major traffic problems, their
extent is shown on the map as a RED
line along the side of the road (in e.g., road con-
struction areas). This line will also indicate the
direction (there will be lines on both sides of the
road if both sides are affected).

Information about current traffic situations is
gathered continuously from mobile apps, public
service sources and GPS data from the vehicle.
When a vehicle requests information about the
flow of traffic, anonymous data about the traffic
situation in the vicinity of the vehicle is provided,
which helps enable RTTI to function. This data is
only transmitted if RTTI is activated.
Current traffic information is shown for highways/
freeways, major roads, secondary roads and in
some cases for urban routes.
The amount of traffic information shown on the
map depends on the distance from the vehicle,
but not farther than approx. 75 miles (120 km)
from the vehicle's current location.
Text and symbols on the map are displayed in the
usual way and the traffic flow shows how fast
traffic is moving on a given road compared to the
posted speed limit. Traffic information is shown in
both directions on a road with a colored line in
each direction:
•
Green: traffic flowing smoothly
•
