enter all the necessary information. Pressing Go!makes the address
location appear on the map. If you choose Previous Destination,
the last 20 destinations you have selected appear.
2. Select Set as Dest to make this your destination. You can also
choose to set this as a waypoint (have the system route to this point
on the way to your current destination) or save it as a favorite. The
system considers any Avoid Areasselections in its route calculation.
3. Choose from up to three different types of routes, and then select Start Route.
•Fastest Route: Uses the fastest moving roads possible.
• Shortest Route: Uses the shortest distance possible.
• Eco Route: Uses the most fuel-efficient route.
You can cancel the route or have the system demo the route for you.
Select Route Prefs to set route preferences like avoiding freeways,
tollroads, ferries and car trains as well as to use or not use
high-occupancy vehicle lanes. (High-occupancy vehicle lanes are also
known as carpool or diamond lanes. People who ride in buses, vanpools
or carpools use these lanes.)
Note: If your vehicle is on a recognized road and you do not press the
Start Route button, the system defaults to the Fastest Routeoption
and begins guidance.
During route guidance, you can press the talking bubble icon that

system to repeat route guidance information. When the system repeats
the last guidance instruction, it updates the distance to the next
guidance instruction, since it detects when the vehicle is moving.
