When there is a traffic event ahead on your route, the left 
panel status bar shows red, and you hear an 
announcement. Your MOTONAV evaluates alternative 
routes. If your MOTONAV device finds a route that may be 
faster, an icon will appear along the left side indicating the 
estimated time to destination. To review the potential 
detour, tap the icon.
If you prefer to automatically avoid delays, go to Settings > 
Traffic > Automatic Avoid > On. In this mode, a new route will be 
generated if a detour potentially saves you five minutes 
or more.
