Motion Lock
Motion Lock is a safety feature that allows you to pick a speed at which the navigation map will be locked, preventing user input. When Motion Lock is switched on, the Quick Menu is still available, but most of the functions are disabled. Map functions, except zoom and pan, are also disabled.
Motion Lock cannot be switched off until the vehicle has stopped, or is traveling below the motion threshold. When switched on, the Motion Lock symbol is displayed on the map.
