Approaching a traffic jam warning
A warning is given as you approach a traffic jam. You are warned in several ways:
A warning symbol is shown in the route bar.
The route bar zooms in to the start of the traffic jam.
Your distance to the start of the traffic jam is shown in the route bar.
The color of the road on the route bar changes to orange or red,
depending on the severity of the traffic jam.
The background color of the route bar background changes to red if
you are driving too fast towards the traffic jam.
You hear a warning sound.
To change the way you are warned, select Sounds & Warnings in the Settings menu.
Avoiding a traffic jam on your route
You can avoid a traffic jam that is on your route.
Note: Sometimes the quickest route is still the route that has the traffic jam.
Note: It may not be possible to find an alternative route around the traffic jam if none exists.
Avoiding a traffic jam using the route bar
1. In the route bar, select the symbol for the traffic jam you want to avoid.
The traffic jam is shown on the map.
2. Select the pop-up menu button.
