Extended voice commands and traffic instruction

[AlanDL]

I have the Premier NX.  It is a bit frustrating that the voice commands do not seem to have all the ones indicated in the manual, so that I can easily move between navigation and media screens.  While in navigation, it would be useful if I could access the traffic information quickly without having to use the track pad to send the cursor to the tiny patch of real estate that is glowing red for problems (like trying to thread a needle sometimes).  On my previous car there was a simple traffic button.  Without hard buttons it would have been useful at least to have a simple voice command, such as "Show Traffic", which by an amazing coincidence is exactly the command shown in the handbook under extended voice commands!  Maybe I am being dim, but the menu for voice commands does not include extended voice commands: why why why!  Anyone know a work around to get quicker traffic alerts on the screen, or extended voice commands? Please help.  I do like the car a lot, but I do find the interface somewhat less than easy to use than it should be.
