You can set which road categories to include or to avoid in the route to match the user's preferences.

Avoiding a road category is simply a matter of changing the priority level. This does not mean that the selected road category will never be used. If the navigation cannot reach the destination without using a road category that should be avoided, the road category will be used, but only as little as possible. If this does happen, a warning icon is displayed on the My Route screen, and the part of the route that uses a road category that should be avoided is displayed on the map in another colour.

In the road category list you can check the number of sections used for each road category on the current route and the overall distance.
