Selecting routes
You can influence the route calculated by
selecting various route criteria. You can change
the route criteria as often as you like during des-
tination input or during route guidance.
The route is planned according to fixed rules.
The type of road is taken into account, e.g.
motorways or winding roads. Details of the road
types are stored on the navigation DVD. For this
reason, the route proposed by the system will
not necessarily be the one the driver expects
from experience.
