Navigation OverviewHow does the navigation system work, and how is it operated?
An optimal route is defined us ing 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. Measured values are compared using the detailed map
material on the navigation CD and corrected with the assistance of TMC traffic
announcements as necessary. An optimal route to the destination is deter-
mined in this way.
Navigation announcements and direction arrows shown on the screen and in
the instrument panel* guide you safely and conveniently to your destination.
You can drive to a given address in towns you are unfamiliar with, or drive to
the nearest garage or be guided to a hotel.

SafetyThe navigation system determines the position 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 cars and is thus unsuitable for larger
commercial vehicles.
WARNING
•
Please observe the laws of road traffic legislation when following the
recommendations made by your navigation system.
