Traffic information during destination
guidance
Depending on whether "Dynamic route" is
selected, refer to page118, the system behaves
in different ways.
Displaying traffic obstructions
If a traffic obstruction is reported in the naviga-
tion system and "Dynamic route" is not selected,
starting from a distance of approx. 25 miles/
40 km, you will begin receiving certain informa-
tion, e.g. the length of the traffic jam will be dis-
played.
The last possible detour exit is indicated just
before you reach it.This information is displayed even if you have
called up another application on the Control Dis-
play.
Dynamic route planning
If "Dynamic route" is selected, then the route is
automatically changed in the event of traffic
obstructions. The system will not point out traffic
obstructions on the original route.
Depending on road type and the kind and
extent of the traffic obstruction, the newly calcu-
lated route may still lead through the traffic
obstruction.
Displaying current
position
You can have your current position displayed
even when the destination guidance is switched
off.
1.Select "Navigation".
2.Move the highlight marker to the fourth field
from the top. Select "Current position".

>a navigation DVD is inserted, but an instruc-
tion to insert the DVD appears on the Control
Display?
The navigation DVD may not be the correct
DVD for the navigation system. This infor-
mation is indicated on the DVD label.
>you request the current position of your
vehicle, but do not receive a precise display?
The system is unable to receive enough GPS
signals at your current position due to
obstructions, your current position is not yet
available on your navigation DVD, or the sys-
tem is in the process of calculating your cur-
rent position. As a rule, reception is guaran-
teed when you are in the open.
>the destination guidance does not accept a
destination?
The data of the destination is not stored on
the navigation DVD that is loaded. Choose a
destination as close as possible to the origi-
nal one.
>the destination guidance does not accept an
address without the street name?
On the navigation DVD, no downtown area
can be determined for the city or town
entered. Enter any street, or a destination
such as the railway station in the selected
town, and then start the destination guid-
ance.
>you want to enter a destination for the des-
tination guidance, but it is not possible to
select the letters for your desired entry?
The data of the destination is not stored on
the navigation DVD that is loaded. In this
case, the system will not offer you any letters
to choose from. Choose a destination as
close as possible to the original one.
>the system stops furnishing directions on
which way to turn as you approach intersec-
tions?
You are driving in an area that has not yet
been completely recorded on the navigation
DVD. Instead of an arrow indicating a turn, you will see an arrow which indicates the
general direction of your planned route. Or
you have left the recommended route and
the system requires a few seconds to calcu-
late a new recommended route.
>the navigation system does not react to
entries?
If the battery was disconnected, it takes
about 10 minutes before the system is once
again operational.
