Slow-moving traffic
Road closed The navigation system will calculate the quickest possible route when the
dynamic route guidance option is active. The system might well guide you
through a traffic jam if the diversion would be longer.
Note
•
The dynamic route guidance option will only function if you are receiving
at least one TMC radio station.
•
The MFD2 radio navigation system will automatically look for a new TMC
station if you leave the re ception area of the one you are using. The station
you are listening to, however, does not have to be a TMC station.
•
The dynamic route guidance option wi ll always use motorways, ferries
and toll roads.
•
The navigation CD-ROM should be compatible with the TMC data.
•
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the information
contained in the traffic announcements. The radio stations broadcasting this
information are responsible for the content.

Announcement of navigation recommendations
Navigation recommendations are made as voice announce-
ments and also in the display.
– Press the button ⇒page 4, fig. 1 .
– P r ess i f yo u wa n t to h ea r t h e cu r r e n t na vi ga t i o n re co m m e n d a - tion ⇒ .Once the route is calculated the first recommendation is heard, for example
“Continue on the street”. Before turning you may hear up to three messages,
for example, “Prepare to turn left”, “Turn left after 200 m” and “Now turn to
the left”. A proximity bar will be shown in the display on the right-hand side
of the turn arrow shortly before the last announcement is made. The proximity
bar shows how far away the turning point is. The distance to the next change
of direction will be shown in the display after you have turned.
On roads with more than one lane that cross, you will be informed of the lane
to drive on, for example “Preppare to continue on the left” and “Now continue
on the left”.
You will also be told which exit to use off a roundabout before you enter it, e.g.
“That you should leave 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 hear the following
message: “You have reached your dest ination”, otherwise “You have reached
the destination area”. The latter may occur if you have entered the destina-
tion using coordinates and it is not on a road.
WARNING
The driver must concentrate on the voice announcements and also on the
traffic around you. The recommendations made on the basis of the informa-
tion on the CD may differ from what 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 navigation recommendations if necessary.•
Traffic signs and legislation always have priority over the recommenda-
tions made by the system.
