Avoid The Road Ahead; Choosing The Length Of The Detour - Pioneer AVIC-505 Owner's Manual

DETOUR: Avoid the Road Ahead
As you follow the guidance provided by your Mobile Navigation System, you may wish to find
an alternative route that avoids a certain length of the road ahead. For example, you may hear
on the radio that the road ahead is heavily congested. In such a situation, "DETOUR" may be
able to find a route around the congestion by taking a less direct route at upcoming
intersections.
• Note that "DETOUR" cannot, in all cases, find an appropriate route, so it may not necessarily avoid
traffic congestion or other problems.
• Depending on the road layout, the detour function may not be able to begin a detour immediately.

Choosing the length of the detour

Before telling the system to plan a detour, you must decide how much of the route ahead to
detour. There are three options: 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km (1 miles, 3 miles, or 6 miles).
CAUTION
• For safety reasons, this function is not available while your vehicle is in motion.
Before choosing the length of diversion, pull over when it is safe to do so and apply
the handbrake.
The display gives you a choice of distance settings.
The Guidance menu is again displayed.
• Until you change this selection, every time you choose "DETOUR", the new route will be set for this
distance.
