4. Touch the desired vehicle type
5. Touch OK to save the change

Repeat the steps above to change the vehicle type again.

Vehicle types and usage modes:

• Car/Motorcycle: This is the most-used setting that will give you turn by turn directions based on mapping and road information.
• Bus: If possible, this vehicle type will designate you on a particular area's bus route. This setting also changes the expected speeds and arrival time.
  
• Emergency: This option will route your vehicle on specified emergency routes, if available.
• Taxi: If possible, this setting will designate routes which are well-traveled by taxis and will also change the expected speeds and arrival time.
• Truck: This setting will provide turn-by-turn directions using major roads. This setting will also attempt to keep you off parkways or small streets where it would be hard to turn around with a larger vehicle.
• Off Road: Routes calculated in this mode are displayed as a direct-line route from your current location to the destination.
