It makes no difference for
the calibration if the course
of the road does not allow
the vehicle to be driven the
specified route straight
ahead or to turn min. 60°.
This only increases the
length of the route to be
driven. Calibration is
completed when the location
is indicated in the AUDIO

objective guidance) when
the INFO button is pressed.
However, the location
can only be displayed when
the vehicle is driven on a
