●Auto Reroute:
If the vehicle deviates from the suggested
route, the system automatically recalculates
a route that leads the vehicle to the sug-
gested route.
INFO:
●The recalculated route may not be the short-
est route because the system prioritizes easy-
to-drive roads for safety reasons.
●If you set the route conditions from the “Route
Priority” key, all sections in the route are sub-
ject to the same route conditions even though
you have set different route conditions for dif-
ferent sections in the “Edit Route” key.
●If the “Use Time Restricted Roads” is
deactivated, the system calculates a route
without any consideration of the regulations
concerning the time or day of the week.
Therefore, the suggested route may include a
road subject to traffic regulations concerning
the time or day of the week. When driving
along the route, always follow all regulations.
●If the system cannot calculate any alternative
routes, it displays the previous route.
●If the vehicle overly deviates from the sug-
gested route, the system calculates a new
route.
