- 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.

diffi
cult. GPS reception and vehicle positioning
can also be adversely affected by deactiva
