SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link (if equipped)

SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link is available on vehicles equipped with navigation and in select markets only. You must activate and subscribe to SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link information. It helps you find the best gas prices, find movie listings, receive real-time traffic alerts, view weather maps, get accurate ski conditions, and see current sports scores.

The system calculates a reasonable, efficient route based on available speed limits, traffic, and road conditions. You may know a local shortcut that is more efficient at a given time than the route provided by SYNC 3, but expect a small difference in minutes or miles from the SYNC 3 route.

Points of interest that have the Michelin Guide show an information display button to show you additional information. Press the button to view additional information. If you have a phone paired with the system, you can press the phone button to directly connect to the selected point of interest.

Navigation Map Accuracy and Updates

HERE is the digital map data provider for the navigation application. If you find map data errors, you can report them directly to HERE by visiting www.here.com. HERE evaluates all map error reports and responds with the results of its investigation by email.

Navigation system map data may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to elapsed time, changing circumstances, sources used, and the nature of collecting comprehensive geographic data, any of which may result in incorrect results. Incorrect speed limit information, turn restrictions, and other road attributes may affect certain routes and related guidance.

Annual navigation map updates are available for purchase through your dealership. Depending on your purchase agreement, you may be eligible for a free map update. You can download the map data update to a USB, order a USB, or use Wi-Fi for automatic delivery of the update. To update map data via Wi-Fi, your vehicle must be connected to a Wi-Fi hotspot. Map data files are large, so it is strongly recommended to perform the update when free Wi-Fi is available, otherwise high data transfer charges may apply. For USB updates, free map update eligibility, and other details, contact your dealer at 1-866-462-8837 in the United States and Canada or 01-800-557-5539 in Mexico, or visit our local website for more information.
