navigation DVD and your vehicle is equipped with a factory-fitted 
telephone*, you can call the selected special destination. For 
example, you can call a restaurant and reserve a table before driving 
to the destination.

displayed completely because they are too long (too many charac-
ters). If you select one of these entries, a separate window will be 
displayed after a few seconds. This window will show more informa-
tion about the selected entry.

Route criteria
– Select: Function selector button   > control button 
Route > Route criteria.
The route will be calculated according to various criteria.
Dynamic navigation
The dynamic navigation function optimises a route plan by using 
the most current traffic reports to automatically recalculate routes 
and avoid traffic jams.
If the navigation does not display a detour route, although the 
dynamic navigation function is ON and a traffic jam has been 
reported on the planned route, this is because the estimated time 
required for the detour is longer than the estimated time required 
for remaining on the route with the traffic jam.
Route options
The navigation system selects the faster or shorter route.
Motorway / ferry / toll road
If you do not want the navigation system to include motorways, 
ferries or toll roads in the route calculation, you can set the option 
avoid. However, there can be situations in which you will not be able 
to avoid them.
Note
If one of the selected criteria is unavoidable (i.e. the route must 
contain the undesired criterion), the system will automatically 
calculate the route accordingly.
