your destination for a while, and try route cal-
culation again.

• In the following cases, a route that passes

through an Area to Avoid may be set:
– when your vehicle is in the Area to Avoid
– when your destination or way points are in

the Area to Avoid

– when it is not possible to avoid doing so

• If a suitable route cannot be set in compliance

with the specified detour distance, or your pref-
erence to avoid motorways, toll roads or ferry
routes, the setting or parameter may be
ignored.

• When there is a traffic jam ahead, if driving

through the traffic jam is better than taking the
detour, a detour route may not be set.

• There may be instances when the starting

point and the destination point are not on the
highlighted route.

• The number of roundabout exits displayed on

the screen may differ from the actual number
of roads.

• If the intersection is approached in a gentle

curve, the map displayed may differ from the
actual road layout.

Auto Reroute

• Auto Reroute is used when you deviate more

than 30 m (0.01 mile) from the route.

• The Auto Reroute function does not work in the

following cases:
– when your vehicle is not on a street
– when you are very close to your destination
– when your vehicle is on a ferry
– when driving on a road inside a facility
– when driving on a roundabout
– when your vehicle is out of Memory area
– when the vehicle goes out of the area stored

in the disc during DVD navigation mode

– when the vehicle goes out of the memorised

area during memory navi mode

– when driving on routes described in “Roads

not used in calculations”

Route highlighting

• Once set, the route is highlighted in bright

green or light blue on the map.

• The immediate vicinity of your starting point

and destination may not be highlighted, and
neither will areas with particularly complex
road layouts. Consequently, the route may
appear to be cut off on the display, but voice
guidance will continue.

Roads not used in calculations

Even though displayed onscreen, the following
roads are not included in route calculations.
• Stubble roads
• Walkways
• Roads for public vehicles only

Tracking

• Your navigation system marks your course on

the map in certain increments. This is called
tracking. It is handy when you want to check a
route travelled without guidance or if returning
along a complex route.

• A maximum of about 230 km (145 miles) is

marked and, as you travel beyond this limit,
tracking marks are erased, starting with the
oldest. The tracking display shows about 200
km of vehicle tracking with white dots.

Tracking can also be set to erase automati-
cally whenever the navigation system is
switched off. ➞ Page 65

About traffic information

• Because traffic information is updated only

periodically, it may take time to collect com-
plete information.

• Not all RDS stations provide traffic informa-

tion.

• Instead of the broadcasting station name

appearing, the name of the service provider or
the music being played may be displayed. The
information content depends on the sender of
the transmission.

• Traffic information is not taken into account in

calculating estimated time of arrival or travel
time for your destination.

• The navigation system may not be able to

receive traffic information in some areas.

• Pioneer does not bear responsibility for the

accuracy of the information transmitted.

• Pioneer does not bear responsibility for

changes to information services provided by
broadcasting stations or by related compa-
nies, such as cancellation of services or
changing to pay-services. Also, we do not
accept return of the product for this reason.
