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, lone drivers can use
a carpool lane if their vehicle's emission level
or fuel consumption is below a fixed thresh-
old.
Carpool lanes may be reserved for specific
times (e.g. during the peak period).
Carpool lanes are identified by HOV symbols
on special road signs and by markings on the
road. The road signs may also include the
designation 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 under
Occupants in Vehicle, COMAND uses car-
pool lanes when calculating the route.
COMAND then guides you in and out of car-
pool lanes using visual and acoustic driving
directions.
In the route settings menu, select
