- The route calculated by the navigation sys
tem is a recommendation of how best to
reach a destination. Pay attention to traffic
lights,
no stopping signs, lane change re
strictions, one-way streets, etc.
© CAUTION
-Should the navigation directions contradict
the current traffic regulations, you must al
ways follow the traffic regulations.
- The volume should only be set at a level
which enables you to hear distant police and
