Vehicle Profiles
WARNING
Entering your vehicle profile characteristics does not guarantee that your vehicle's characteristics will be
accounted for in all route suggestions or that you will receive the warning icons in all cases. Limitations may
exist in the map data such that your device cannot account for these restrictions or road conditions in all cases.
Always defer to all posted road signs and road conditions when making driving decisions.
Routing and navigation are calculated differently based on your vehicle profile. The activated vehicle profile
is indicated by an icon in the status bar. The navigation and map settings on your device can be customized
