Driving down the road and a verbal traffic announcement startles me. It's loud and I would like to know how to turn it off.

I have no idea what you are referencing. Is this through the factory NAV system? I think Onstar turn by turn will do something like this as well but not sure. I don't use either, just my phone for directions.

An announcement comes on and says traffic congestion ahead or lanes narrowing to one lane. You have an icon that pops up on the nav screen that says you can hit dimiss if you choose. Next time driving the car, another verbal alert pops about traffic congestion or something. It's really a nuisance.

It's in the Nav settings. There's a setting if you want it to auto route you around traffic or to ask you first. You probably have it set to ask you. Look in the CUE guide, not the main owners manual.

It will pop up even if you're not in a route. While it's talking, lower the volume all the way. But, you won't get audible directions during NAV, either.
