With the destination guide activated, stages may be ad ded or established
destinations altered ( ⇒page 24, “Preparing the destination guide”). If a
destination is added, the equipment will prepare an itiner ary automatically
( ⇒ page 27, “Route planning”), even if the Route with stages function is
deactivated in route options ( ⇒page 29, “Route options”).
Dynamic destination guide with TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
During the dynamic destination guide, traffic reports emitted
by TMC stations are taken into account for route calculation.
In this way, problematic stretches are avoided.To activate or deactivate this fu nction, press the button ; this will
access the route options pressing ; the dynamic guide status
is selected using the option Dynamic Navigation.
It is also possible to press on th e main navigation menu and activate
or deactivate the dynamic guide in the Route options ⇒ page 29, fig. 15 .
Once the dynamic destination guide function has been activ ated you will be
informed that the route is being recalculated due to traffic problems if any
have been registered.
Dynamic destination guide preconditions
In order to use the dynamic destination guide, a TMC statio n must always be
available ( TMC indicator on the lower right hand side of the screen). If the
station received does not offer the TMC service, it is po ssible to search for a
TMC station after be ginning the destination guide. A selection may be made
from the TMC stations framework ⇒page 11. Once a TMC station has been
found or selected, the destination guide is started.
While the destination guide is operating, other sound so urces may be used
(for example an audio CD), even though the TMC reception will remain active
while the reception is good (Note ⇒page 43, “The destination guide without
the navigation CD”). If you continue listening to the ra dio, the tuned radio
station should offer the TMC service.
If the signal from the TMC station is lost, the radio and navigation system
searches for another similar type station.
If, however, “ maintain without TMC ” has been selected or no TMC station is
being received, the message “ No TMC station registered. ” is displayed. It is

possible that no new traffic reports will be received. In t his case, the dynamic
destination guide is limited or may not work.
Traffic problems during dynamic destination guide
If, while the destination guide is working, a traffic prob lem arises on the
route, an audio message will indicate the traffic problems or , just before the
problem, will indicate that there are traffic problems.
The navigation system will calculate the quickest possible route when the
dynamic destination guide option is active. The system mi ght well guide you
through a traffic jam if the diversion would be longer.
To display the received traffic reports
Pressing the button displays a list of the latest t raffic reports from
the received TMC station.
Rotating and pressing the menu button, addition al information on the traffic
report is displayed. Thus, information may be obtained on route traffic and
the route may be altered before beginning the destination guide.
Note
•
The dynamic route guide option will only function if y ou are receiving at
least one TMC radio station. During the destination gui de, the TMC station
must be listened to.
•
The quality of the dynamic destinatio n guide depends on the information
contained in the traffic announcements. The stations and / or tr affic informa-
tion providers are responsibl e for the information quality.
•
In some situations, the proposed deviat ion in function of some TMC traffic
report may possibly not represent any time saving if th e alternative route is
also saturated.

Once the route is calculated, the first indication is heard, for ex ample “Turn
right for the next exit”. Th e road currently used is indicated on the lower part
of the screen in the symbol representation mode ⇒page 40, fig. 20. Up to
three announcements will be made before a turn has to be m ade to ensure
that you are informed in time, for exam ple “Approaching left turn”, “Turn left
after 200 metres” and “Now turn left”. A proximity bar will be shown in the
display on the right-hand side of th e turn arrow shortly before the last
announcement is made. The proximit y bar shows how far away the turning
point is. After turning, the distance to the next direction ch ange is displayed
here (note the Tyre calibration in the ⇒ page 35, “Navigation settings

You will receive a recommendation for a lane on road s with more than one
lane that then separate off in different directions, f or example “Now, take the
left hand side lane.” and “Now, use the left hand side lane”.
You will also be told which exit to use off a roundabout before entering it, e.g.
“Leave roundabout by the second exit.” In a roundabout this means “Turn at
the second exit to the right”. An announcement will be made when you
reach your destination. If the navi-
gation CD contains the destination street, you will h ear the following
message:“You have reached your destination”, otherwise “ You have reached
the destination area”. The latter may occur if you have ent ered the destina-

mation.
If an intermediate destination is reached, the indic ation “You have reached
and intermediate destination” is given then “Cal culating route” or “The route
to intermediate destination is being calculated” if there is an intermediate
destination on the route. The route calculation to the following destination
begins automatically ( ⇒page 37, “Begin/cancel destination guide”).

As all drivers, you must concentrate on traffic. The indic ations made on
the basis of the information on the CD may differ from wh at you actually see
due to incomplete data or a different road layout (e.g. due to road works).
Please keep to traffic regulations and ignore the navig ation recommenda-
tions if necessary.
•
Traffic signs and legislation always have priority over the recommenda-
tions made by the system.
•
Please observe the important safety warnings ⇒page 21, “Safety”.Note
Note that the proximity bars and the audio navigation i ndications only reflect
“real” measurements if the tyre diameter has been c orrectly set (Tyre
calibration in ⇒page 35, “Navigation settings (SETUP)”).
