Avoiding features on a route
You can choose to avoid some features that are on your currently planned route. You can avoid the following
route features:
Toll Roads
Ferries and car shuttle trains
Carpool Lanes
Unpaved Roads
Tunnels
Note: Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV lanes) and are not present
in every country. To travel on these lanes, you may need to have more than one person in the car, for
example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
If you choose to avoid a route feature, a new route is planned.
In Route Planning in the Settings Menu, you can set how each route feature is handled when a new route is
planned.
To avoid a feature on your route, do the following.
1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.
2. Select Current Route.
3. Select Avoid on This Route.
A screen opens showing a list of the features you can avoid. The features found on your route are high-
lighted.
4. Select the feature that you want to avoid.
5. Select OK.
