• Verify Signal Strength: If you are inside a building where radio signals cannot be received, you may need to
take the vehicle outside for testing.
• Verify that you are in a service area: To view service areas, go to the Garmin Web site at www.garmin
.com/fmtraffic.
• Check the Map: Turn on the Kenwood Navigation System and access a map. Check for traffic alerts and
symbols on the map. It may be easiest to browse the map ofa roadway or intersection under construction or
