Navigation status indicators in the
multi-function display
When route guidance is activated, the fol-
lowing messages may appear:

< : you have reached the destination.

“Dest. area reached”: you are ap-
proaching the destination. This mes-
sage appears, for example, with
relatively large special destinations.

“New route”: the system is calculating
a new route, for example because you
have deviated from the previous route.
Route guidance is subsequently re-
sumed.

“Calculating route”: a route is being cal-
culated, after which route guidance will
start.

“Off map”: the vehicle is outside the
range of the digital map. The vehicle is
in an off-map position.

“Off mapped road”: the vehicle is on a
road which is not in the digital map, or
is away from the road, for example in a
car park.

“No route”: no route to the selected
destination could be calculated.

erate the audio equipment. If no audio
equipment is switched on, the multi-func-
tion display shows the message Audio Off.
