Traffic
Problem
My AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic is missing and is not
displaying properly. What is wrong?
When I am driving a route on the freeway and Traffic
Rerouting is ON, sometimes the system provides a detour
route. Why is this?
While traveling on my route on the freeway, the system has
me exit and take an alternate freeway with unknown flow
speeds or surface streets. Why is this?
How can I ignore the detour route and return to the original
route?

• It is possible that there is a temporary technical problem with your
metropolitan area traffic. You can call Acura Client Services to see if
there is an outage (page 132).
• If the situation persists, see your Acura dealer for assistance.
• AcuraLink relies on a satellite signal. It will not work in Alaska, Hawaii,
Canada, and Puerto Rico.
The system will provide a detour route to your destination only if it can find
a considerably faster route than the original one.
Based on freeway congestion along your route, the system predicted that
taking an alternate freeway or surface streets would be faster. Use your own
experience to determine whether the alternate route would be faster.
Turn Traffic Rerouting to OFF in SETUP, under Routing & Guidance
(page 110).
