Route guidance with traffic bulletins
Semi-dynamic route guidance
With traffic bulletin reception switched on,
semi-dynamic route guidance is active.
The system takes into account the existing traf-
fic bulletins during route guidance. A message
is displayed as a function of the route, the traffic
bulletins, and the possible alternate routes. The
message displays the traffic bulletin and in the
event of a traffic obstruction, suggests an alter-
nate route. The difference in distance and time
between the original route and the alternate
route are also displayed.
Taking an alternate route:
"Detour"
With particular hazards, e.g. objects on the
roadway, a message is displayed without a pos-
sible alternate route.
It is also possible to take alternate routes can
also be taken if the traffic reports are accessed
via the list:
1."Navigation"
2."Map"
3."Traffic Info"
4."Detour information"
5."Detour"
Dynamic destination guidance
The route is automatically changed in the event
of traffic obstructions.
>The system does not point out traffic
obstructions along the original route.
>Traffic bulletins will continue to be dis-
played on the map.
>Depending on the type of road and the
nature and length of the traffic obstruction, the route can also be calculated so that you
travel through the traffic obstruction.
>Certain hazards are displayed regardless of
the setting.
To activate dynamic route guidance:
1."Navigation"
2.Open "Options".
3."Dynamic guidance"

>The current position cannot be displayed?
The position is in an unrecognized region, in
a poor reception area, or the system is in the
process of determining the position.

destination without a street name?
A downtown area cannot be determined for
the town or city that has been entered. Input
any street in the selected town/city and
start destination guidance.

the destination. Select a destination that is
as close as possible to the original.

Control Display changes to a grayscale dis-
play. This enables a better view of the traffic
bulletins.
