Contents of the map view
The
symbol indicates the vehicle's position and heading ⇒ page 76,
fig. 67.
During route guidance the navigation rout e is shown as a blue line. The next
road to take is displayed in the top line of the screen.
While the function buttons are not displayed ⇒page 76, fig. 68 , the road you
are currently on appears in the bottom line.
The remaining distance to the final destination is displayed next to

Shortly before you reach a turning point, a turning arrow appears on the left
of the screen indicating the direction to turn. The distance to the turning point
is displayed below it.
If the vehicle position symbol
turns grey and the map view stops moving,
the unit is currently unable to determine the vehicle's exact position (for
example, in a car park).
Navigation announcements during the journey
You will hear the first announcement after the route has been calculated, for
example, “Follow the layout of the road”. Up to three announcements will be
made before a turn has to be made to ensure that you are informed in time,
for example, “Approaching left turn”, “Turn left in 1000 feet” and “Now turn
left”.
The distances indicated depend in large part on the type of road on which you
are driving. On motorways, the first announcement is given some 2,000
metres before an exit.
On multiple-lane roads that fork, the corresponding messages are emitted,
for example, “Approaching left turn” and then “Now turn left”.
Some 1000 feet before entering a roundabout, you will be told which exit to
use, for example, “Leave at the second exit”. In a roundabout, the indication may be “Turn at the second right”. In the case of a large roundabout, a third
announcement “Turn right now” will be
given while you are on the rounda-
bout.
When you reach your destination, you will hear the announcement: “You have
reached the destination”.
If the option “Dynamic route” is ticked in the route options, you will be
informed of any reported traffic congestion along your route ⇒page 74. You
will receive an additional announcement if the route is recalculated due to
traffic congestion ⇒ page 80.
A corresponding message will be given if you have manually excluded route
sections ⇒page 79.
Settings for audible navigation indications
During a navigation announcement, you can change the volume using the
volume control ⇒page 3, fig. 1 up to a defined minimum or maximum
volume. Subsequent audible indications will be emitted at that volume.
You can also adjust or switch off the preset navigation announcement volume
in the Navigation settings menu ⇒page 82 or in the menu for volume
settings ⇒page 12 or even suppress the sound.
WARNING

recommendations made by your radio and navigation system.•
It is fundamental that you are sufficiently alert while driving. Any
distraction may lead to an accident, with the risk of injury.
•
Always observe the safety information on the use of the navigation
