Route Planning Method

You can change the route planning method. Route calculation can be optimized for different situations and vehicle types by changing the planning method. The route planning method types are as follows.

! Fast

Calculates a route with the shortest travel time to your destination as a priority. Usually the best selection for fast and standard cars.

! Easy

Results in a route with fewer turns and no difficult maneuvers. With this option, you can make this system to take, for example, the freeway instead of a series of smaller roads or streets.

! Short

Calculates a route with the shortest distance to your destination as a priority.

Usually practical for slower vehicles. Rarely practical to use to search for shorter routes for normal vehicles regardless of the speed.

! Economical

Calculates a route that is quick and saves fuel.

Navigation Mode

You can enable or disable off-road navigation.

! On-road

The route is planned towards the destination along the roads on the map.

! Off-road

The route is planned towards the destination in a straight line, not along the roads on the map.

Highways

When this function is turned off, the route is calculated prioritizing the avoidance of freeways. This function is useful when you want to avoid freeways when you are driving a slow car or you are towing another vehicle.

Period Charge

When this function is turned off, the route is calculated prioritizing the avoidance of toll roads. This function is useful when you want to avoid toll roads with restricted time access that require you to purchase a separate pass or vignette to extend the length of time allotted for use. p This option can be enabled or disabled se-

parately from the pre-use toll road usage option.

Per-use Toll

When this function is turned off, the route is calculated prioritizing the avoidance of peruse charged toll roads. This function is useful when you want to avoid toll roads where there is a per-use charge.

Customizing preferences of the navigation

Chapter

Ferries

When this function is turned off, the route is calculated prioritizing the avoidance of ferries.

Car Shuttle Trains

When this function is turned off, the route is calculated prioritising the avoidance of car shuttle trains. Car shuttle trains are used to transport vehicles for relatively short distances and they usually connect places that are not easily accessible by road.

Unpaved Roads

When this function is turned off, the route is calculated prioritizing the avoidance of unpaved roads. p The navigation system avoids unpaved

roads by default.

Carpool Lanes

When this function is turned off, the route is calculated prioritizing the avoidance of carpool and HOV lanes. p The navigation system avoids carpool and

HOV lanes by default.

pairing again from your phone to this pro-

duct.

Making and receiving calls

! You may hear a noise in the following situa-

tions:

— When you answer the phone using the
