Navigation System 51
Driving to Your Destination
Changing the Routing Method
The system lets you select the way you
want to drive to your destination. Select
CHANGE METHOD by moving the
Interface Dial down.
• “Direct Route” (the factory default) is
the route that is the quickest (least
time) and is usually the best choice. If
you choose any other method, it
becomes the new default for all future
routing. Make sure to check the
routing method if the displayed route
is not what you expected to see.
• “Easy Route” produces a route with
the least turns.
• “Maximize Freeways”, “Minimize
Freeways”, and “Minimize Toll
Roads” are also available.
NOTE:
• If the keyless remotes are unlinked
(guest mode), changes to the routing
method are not saved.
• If the trip is greater than 100 miles,
then “Minimize Freeways” and
“Minimize Toll Roads” may be
grayed out. This is normal.
The generated route may not be the
route you would choose. For safety
reasons, the system generally applies the
following rules to your route:
• It tries to avoid “short cuts” through
residential areas.
• Right turns are favored over left turns
or U-turns.
• Restricted turns (turns that cannot be
made during certain hours), are not
used for routing during any time of
the day.
Viewing the Routes
Selecting View Routes allows you to
scroll through and view the various
routes (Direct, Easy, Maximize
Freeways, etc.) to your destination. If
you select View Routes, the display
changes to:
You can change the method for
calculating the route by using the
Interface Dial. The system will
display another calculated route.
