NOTE:
The sound effects on your Travel Companion are context sensitive. They are different if, for
example you open or close a window, or enable or disable a setting. These effects indicates if you have
entered enough letters of a street name to have a short list of matching street names displayed on the
screen.
Dynamic Volume
When driving at a high speed, the noise in the car might be too loud to clearly understand the voice
guidance messages and perceive the key sounds. Using

Route settings
You can use the
Route settings
screen to determine how routes are calculated.

Route Information
screen.
Vehicle
You can set the type of the vehicle that you might use to navigate the route. Based upon this setting,
certain road types are excluded from the route, or some of the restrictions might not be taken into
account.
Additionally, when either

cannot be achieved, and this information is taken into account when calculating the route, the estimated
time enroute (ETE), and the estimated time of arrival (ETA).
