of the sky, and how long it has been since you last used your
navigation device. The first time you turn on your navigation

Vehicle Profiles

WARNING

Entering your vehicle profile characteristics does not guarantee
that your vehicle's characteristics will be accounted for in all
route suggestions or that you will receive the warning icons in all
cases. Limitations may exist in the map data such that your
device cannot account for these restrictions or road conditions in
all cases. Always defer to all posted road signs and road
conditions when making driving decisions.

Routing and navigation are calculated differently based on your
vehicle profile. The activated vehicle profile is indicated by an
icon in the status bar. The navigation and map settings on your
device can be customised separately for each vehicle type.

When you activate a camper vehicle profile, the device avoids
including restricted or impassable areas in routes based on the
dimensions, weight and other characteristics you entered for
your vehicle.

specific to large vehicles are not available while using the car
profile.

Adding a vehicle profile

The vehicle profile is an optional feature that provides routing
based on the height and weight of large vehicles, such as
campers or trailers. If you have a large vehicle or if you are
towing a trailer, you should set up a vehicle profile. You can set
a vehicle profile for each vehicle configuration used with your
