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 separately for each vehicle type.
When you activate a truck vehicle profile, the device avoids 

including restricted or impassable areas in routes based on the 

dimensions, weight, and other characteristics you entered for 

your vehicle.
