Advanced Lane Guidance
Note: Lane guidance is not available for all intersections or in all countries.
Advanced Lane Guidance helps you prepare for highway exits and junctions by showing the correct
driving lane for your planned route.
As you approach an exit or junction, the lane you need is shown on the screen and in the instruction
panel.
Tip: To close the lane image, select anywhere on the screen.
To turn lane images off, select the Settings button in the Main Menu, then select Appearance. Turn
off the Show previews of highway exits setting.
Time-dependent speed limits
Some speed limits change depending on the time of day. For example, you may see the speed limit
near schools decrease to 40 km/h or 25 mph in the morning from 08:00 a.m. - 09:00 a.m. and in the
afternoon from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Where possible, the speed limit shown in the speed panel
changes to show these variable speed limits.
Some speed limits change depending on driving conditions. For example, the speed limit will
decrease if there is heavy traffic, or the weather conditions are bad. These variable speed limits are
not shown in the speed panel. The speed shown in the speed panel is the maximum speed limit
allowed in good driving conditions.
Important: The speed limit shown in the speed panel is only an indication. You must always obey
the actual speed limit for the road you are on and the conditions you are driving in.
