Guidance in partly mapped areas
In rural areas and smaller cities, not
every road is mapped (stored on the
map CD). When the vehicle leaves
the mapped road, the system
automatically changes from the
guidance screen to map display at
the 1/2 mile scale.
²Drive in direction of a displayed (mapped) road, if route guidance is
desired.
²As soon as the mapped road is reached, the system switches back to
guidance and plans a new route.
Automatic re-routing
If the guidance advice is not followed, the advice is missed, or it is not
possible to follow the advice due to traffic demands, the system will
automatically plan a new route within a few seconds.
Adjustment of the average speed setting
The navigation system uses the average speed of the vehicle by default
for calculating the remaining travel time and the estimated time of
arrival. The average speed can be adjusted if the displayed times (time
of arrival or remaining travel time) are consistently different from what
you experience. Please refer to theSystem informationsection of
System settings.

Limitations of the Emergency Feature
The performance of the Navigation System Emergency function is limited
by the following conditions:
²If the ignition switch is not in the ON or ACC position.
²If the vehicle is involved in an accident, damage to equipment may
have occurred.
²If the vehicle battery is dead, discharged or disconnected, the system
will not operate.
²If a CD digital road map is not loaded, the Emergency feature will not
perform properly. The correct CD digital road map must be loaded and
your location must be digitized in detail, in order for the name of the
street where you are currently located to show up on the display.
²Obstructions may cause the system to be temporarily inoperative.
Global positioning satellite signals and cellular telephone signals that
relay vehicle positioning and communications data may be obstructed
while inside tunnels, parking garages etc.
In some instances, the street name may not be displayed. For example,
you traveled outside the CD digital road map boundaries, the incorrect
CD is loaded, or you are in a remote, non-digitized area on the CD.
However, as long as the global positioning system is operating properly,
your current longitude and latitude will be displayed.
