Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI)
If the RTTI service is activated, information about traffic events and flow is continuously retrieved from an online service. When a vehicle requests traffic flow information, anonymous data about traffic flow in the vehicle’s location is also provided, which helps enable the service to function. Anonymous data is only sent when RTTI is activated. If the service is not activated, no data will be provided.
The service may need to be reactivated e.g. following certain software updates, after a workshop visit or when creating a new driver profile.
Current traffic information is shown in the navigation system for highways/freeways, major roads, secondary roads and in some cases urban routes.
The amount of traffic information shown on the map depends on the distance to the vehicle and is only shown within approximately 120 km (75 miles) from the vehicle’s location.
Text and symbols on the map are displayed in the usual way and the traffic flow shows how fast the traffic is moving on a road in comparison with the road’s speed limit. The traffic flow is shown on the map on each side of the road with a colored line in each direction.
- Green – no disturbances.
- Orange – slow-moving traffic.
- Red – congestion/traffic jam/accident.
- Black – road closed.

Tap the Detour symbol to display an alternate route with information on the new distance and estimated travel time. Normally, only short detours are suggested to take you quickly back to your original itinerary.
- To accept the suggested detour: Tap the sign with the detour information. The route is also accepted if you begin driving the suggested route. Once the suggestion has been accepted, guidance will resume using the detour as the new route. If you do not accept the suggestion, continue driving the original route.
Instead of choosing Detour, you can instead select another route and leave your itinerary’s current route. The system will update the route automatically and continue guidance to your destination along the most suitable route.
It is also possible to display an alternative route while driving.

Traffic disruptions on map
The navigation system receives information on traffic events and traffic disruptions and displays these on the map.

Coverage areas for traffic information is continuously extended.
It is possible to make settings to determine which traffic-related information is shown on the map.
Traffic disruptions, such as congested and slow-moving traffic, road work and accidents, are shown with different symbols when the map is zoomed in.
Road construction, for example, is indicated by this symbol. Sections of road with major traffic disruptions are also shown with a red line on the side of the road affected. The line also indicates which direction of traffic is affected. If the disruption affects both directions of traffic, the section of road is marked with red lines on both sides of the road.
