Navigation
34Navigation OverviewHow does the navigation system work, and how is it operated?
An optimal route is defined using sensors, satellites and 
traffic reports and the driver is then guided to his or her desti-
nation.The current vehicle position is determined using a system of satellites (GPS -
Global Positioning System). Sensors in the vehicle measure distances that 
have been driven. Thanks to the detailed information on the navigation CD 
the measurements values are compared and if necessary they are updated 
using the traffic reports ( TMC = Traffic  Message  Channel). An optimal route to 
the destination is determined in this way.

SafetyThe navigation system determines the po sition of the vehicle, the direction 
and distance and the route to a selected destination without taking traffic 
regulations into account. Navigation recommendations are given as 
announcements by the system. Direction arrows are also shown on the 
screen. The destination is entered when the vehicle is stationary. The desti-
nation guide function is designed for ca rs and is thus unsuitable for larger 
commercial vehicles.
