Word matching principle
The system supports the word matching princi-
ple to make it easier for you to enter the names
of streets or towns/cities. The system runs
ongoing checks, comparing your destination
entries with the data stored on the navigation
DVD as the basis for instant response. The user
benefits include:
>Names of specific towns/cities can also vary
from the official versions, provided that the
spelling of the entry corresponds to a stan-
dard form used in another country.
Example:
Instead of "Munich", you can also enter the
German spelling "München" or the Italian
spelling "Monaco".
>When you are entering the names of towns/
cities and streets, the system will complete
them automatically as soon as enough let-
ters are available to ensure unambiguous
identification.
>The system only accepts name entries
beginning with letters that are stored on the
navigation DVD. The system will not accept
nonexistent names and addresses.

Traffic information during destination
guidance
The system behavior varies depending on
whether "Dynamic route" is selected.
Displaying traffic obstructions
If a traffic obstruction is reported to the naviga-
tion system and "Dynamic route" is not
selected, you will be provided with certain infor-
mation from a distance of approx. 25 miles/
40 km, e.g. the length of the traffic congestion.
The last possible junction will be displayed
shortly before this.
Select "Detour" and press the controller.
The navigation system determines a new route
to bypass the traffic congestion.
This information is also displayed if you have

of traffic obstructions is automatically changed.
The system does not point out traffic obstruc-
tions along the original route.
Depending on the type of road as well as the
type and length of traffic obstruction, the route
can also be calculated in a way that passes
through the traffic obstruction.
