Several criteria are used to calculate route guid­
ance.
...

Route criteria
Au to rerouting (traff ic):
when auto rerouting is
On , the route is automatically adjusted based on
TMC traffic information. If the MM I does not cal­
culate a detour even though you have se lected
dynamic route
On and a traffic jam was reported
on the ca lculated route, then the detour the sys­
tem calculated would take more time than the
time spent wa it ing in the traff ic jam .
Alternati ve route s: when the fun ction is On , up
to three suggested routes and their criteria ap­ pear in the Infotainment d isplay in the side
menu . After chang ing to map view, the new route
that was calculated according to your cr iteria is
hi ghlighted. Yo u can select the poss ib le routing
i n the alte rnative routes by turning and press ing
the cont rol knob .
Route option s: you can se lect a Short , Fas t or
Mix ed route .

include highways, toll roads o r ferries when cal­
culating a ro ute.
T ime rest ricted roads : using the Minim ize func­
tion will exclude t ime restricted roads, such as
pedestrian zones, from the route ca lculation .
When
Auto i s selected , the M MI decides if the
time rest ricted roads s hou ld be included when
calculat ing the ro ute guidance based on the en ­
tr ies stored in the navigation data .
Seasonal clo sing : using the Minimize function
will exclude seasona l closings, su ch as mountai n
passes, from the route calcu lation . When
Auto is
se lected, the MMI decides if the seasonal re ­
stricted roads should be included when calc ulat­
ing the route guidance based on th e entries stor ­
ed in the navigation data .
