For route calculation, you can take HOV or
carpool lanes into account.
If you use HOV or carpool lanes, please
observe the applicable laws as well as the
local and time limitation conditions. 62
Basic settingsNavigation

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 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 Number of Number of
