NAVIGATION
After selecting a destination and determining
the route options, you can start route guidance
by confirming the “Start guidance” menu field
in the main navigation menu.
This will activate either the map or the symbol
display.
Refer to page 9 for more information on the
map and symbol displays.Route calculation
After route guidance has been activated, the
system will begin to calculate the route. This
process may take a few seconds. During this
time, the display will show the driving direction
to the selected destination with the message
“Calc. route” and you will hear the following
voice output: “The route is being calculated.”
The display will also indicate the distance to
the destination “as the crow flies”.If the vehicle is located on a digitised street,
route guidance will begin with acoustic and vis-
ual driving recommendations once route cal-
culation has been completed.
If the vehicle is not located on a digitised street
(e.g. car park, garage, indoor parking), “Off
road” will appear on the left in the display.
Outside of the area stored on the navigation
CD (e.g. in a foreign country) this message will
read “Off map”.
If the system is unable to calculate a route to
the selected destination, “No route” will appear
in the display.
In these cases, follow the driving direction sym-
bol, which will guide you in the direction to your
destination. As soon as you reach a digitised
road, acoustic and visual driving recommen-
dations will be provided.
Driving recommendations
The driving recommendations for route guid-
ance are provided in the form of spoken driving
recommendations and directional symbols in
the symbol display on the screen.
The recommendations are always given well
in advance so that you have plenty of time to
prepare for any upcoming turns.

Important!
All the information provided during
route guidance can be considered only
as recommendations. The Road Traffic
Code always takes priority, even if the
driving recommendation should
contradict the Road Traffic Code.
Symbol display
The symbol display indicates the number of
GPS satellites within reception range and the
status of the traffic congestion function, the es-
timated time of arrival or the driving time and
the distance from the destination, the driving
direction display , the distance bar graph to
the next intersection/turn with information on
the remaining distance and the name of the
street you are currently travelling on. If you will
soon be required to make a turn, the driving
direction display will indicate in which direction
you will have to turn. Above that, you will also
see the name of the street you will turn onto.

The alphabetical memory contains all of the
destination memory entries sorted in alphabet-
ical order. In this memory bank you can store
and edit destinations and use them for desti-
nation entry.
The Top 10 memory is a special type of desti-
nation memory. In this memory bank you can
store and edit the 10 destinations you use most
frequently and select them for destination en-
try.

you can remember easily. The short name al-
ways precedes the destination name. You can
also use someone’s first name or the expres-
sion “Meeting place” as the short name.

lowing ways to store the selected destination:

ory and in the Top 10 memory, page 35

Important information
This system has been pre-equipped for dynam-
ic navigation. The following prerequisites must
be fulfilled before you can take advantage of
this function:
–the navigation CD must be able to support
dynamic navigation
– it must be possible for the receiver to pick
up at least one TMC station.
If you have any questions, please contact a
·koda Auto service centre.
What is dynamic navigation?
Dynamic navigation means that the system
automatically calculates and adjusts the driving
route on the basis of the traffic information re-
ceived.
This traffic information is transmitted inaudibly
by a number of different radio stations on the
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) in addition to
their regular programming.
The navigation system receives this informa-
tion via a separate TMC box and evaluates it
accordingly. If the system receives traffic in
formation that affects the calculated route, the
route will be re-calculated automatically.
Automatic traffic congestion function (for systems with dynamic navigat\
ion)
Traffic information is depicted in symbols in the
map display:
stop-and-go traffic
traffic congestion
closed road
The corresponding section of the route is
shown underlined in blue in the map display.
Before you can take advantage of dynamic
navigation, it must be possible to receive a
radio station that broadcasts traffic information
via TMC. The TMC box will automatically select
a TMC station, but you can also tune into a
different station manually. Selecting TMC stations
