For safety reasons, these route-setting functions are not available while your vehicle is in motion. To enable these func- tions, you must stop in a safe place and put on the parking brake before setting your route. (see page 12 Interlock for details).

Some information on traffic regulations by days or time depends on the time when the route calculation is performed. Thus, the information may not correspond with a cer- tain traffic regulation when your vehicle actu- ally passes the location. Also, the information on the traffic regulations provided will be for a passenger vehicle, and not for a truck or other delivery vehicles. Always follow the actual traf- fic regulations when driving.
