Using car pool lanes
You can include carpool lanes (HOV or car shar-
ing lanes) in the route calculation.
If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please observe
the applicable laws as well as the local and time
limitation conditions.
Carpool lanes may only be used under certain
conditions. They can normally be used when
there are two people in the vehicle. However,
70Basic settings
Navigation
there are also carpool lanes which can only be
used when there are three or more people in the
vehicle. In California, lone drivers can use a car-
pool lane if their vehicle's emission level or fuel
consumption is below a fixed threshold.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific
times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are indicated by a diamond sym-
bol on specific road signs and on the road sur-
face. The road signs may also include the des-
ignation CARPOOL. The lanes are arranged as a
separate lane next to the others or are built as a
physically separate lane.
Depending on the setting underUse Carpool
Lanes, the multimedia system uses carpool lanes when calculating the route. The multime-
dia system then guides you in and out of carpool
lanes using visual and acoustic driving direc-
tions.
