About the Trafc Icon
When you are receiving trafc information, a trafc
icon appears on the map. The trafc icon changes
color to indicate the severity of trafc conditions.
Color Severity Meaning
Green Low Trafc is owing freely.
Yellow Medium Trafc is moving but there is
a delay. There is moderate
trafc congestion.
Red High Trafc is not moving or
moving slowly. There is a
severe delay.
Trafc on Your Route
When calculating your route, the device examines
the current trafc and automatically optimizes the
route for the shortest time. If a severe trafc delay
occurs on your route while you are navigating,
your device automatically recalculates the route.
The trafc icon
changes color to indicate the
severity of trafc conditions on your route or on the
road you are currently traveling.
Your device may route you through a trafc delay if
a better alternative route does not exist. The delay
time is added into your estimated time of arrival
automatically.
