2018 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA SUV COMAND Manual

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,
there are also carpool lanes which can only be
used when there are three or more people in the
vehicle. In California, single drivers may also use
the carpool lanes if the vehicle's emission or
consumption values are below the prescribed
levels.
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 underNumber of
Occupants in the Vehicle:, the navigation
system uses carpool lanes when calculating the
route. During route guidance, visual and audible
driving directions provide guidance into and out
of carpool lanes.
