The pre-filled positions can be adjusted by touching the item and then adjusting
it in the input screen » page 9.
To start navigation, you need to enter country, city and street.
The information is entered step by step in individual input screens. When entering the street, instead of a street name, it is possible to select thecentre of the entered city by touching Centre. Then it is no longer necessary to
enter the house number or junction.
Both the house number and also a further address supplement in the form of a
number can be entered. The system displays a list of destinations found from
combinations of the two numbers.
If the entered house number was not found, a menu opens to clarify the destina-
tion:
■ No house number - Enter an address without a house number and display a
menu with destination details
■ Nearest house number: - Confirmation of the proposed house number
■ Enter junction - Open a menu with junctions with the selected street

Route calculation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 61.
The route is calculated automatically according to the entered destination. The
calculation takes the settings of the route options » page 47 (route type, dynamic
route, etc.) into account.
The route is recalculated each time if you ignore driving recommendations or change the route. This process takes only a few seconds. Navigation announce-
ments can only then be re-transmitted.
If Demo mode is switched on » page 48, a prompt appears asking whether you
want the guidance to start in demo mode or normal mode.
The Demo mode displays a simulated drive to the destination entered. There is
the option of travelling the calculated route “as a simulation” just on the screen.
If an alternative route option is set, function keys are displayed, following the cal- culation, for the route types with information on the route length and the expec-ted travelling time.
Route type
economical
fast
short
Selecting the route type will start route guidance.
If the option for alternative routes is disabled, the route is calculated and route guidance is started according to the preferred route » page 47.
It is possible to select a pre-calculated route before the calculation of the remain-
ing routes is completed.
The unit tries to allow for continued guidance even if the navigation data is in- complete or there is no data at all for the given area (e.g., one-way streets, road
types, etc.).
Interrupt and continue route guidance
If the ignition is switched off and on again and the key was left in the ignition (in
vehicles with the KESSY system, when the ignition was switched off):
› Within 30 min - route guidance is continued taking into account the calculated
route
› Between 30 and 40 min - the screen switches to “standby” mode (energy-sav-
ing mode of the screen); the route guidance continues using the calculated route
› Between 40 min and 120 min - the unit screen displays the message
Continue
route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance continues
using the calculated route;
› After 120 min - route guidance is cancelled.
If ignition is switched off and on again and the key removed temporarily (in vehi-
cles with the KESSY system, ignition switched off and the driver's door opened):
› Within 10 min - route guidance is continued taking into account the calculated
route
› Between 10 min and 120 min - the screen switches to “standby mode” (energy-
saving mode of the screen); the unit screen displays the message Continue
route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance continues
using the calculated route
› After 120 min - route guidance is cancelled.

TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance when
there are traffic disruptions.
The device can obtain this information by using the following facilities:
› Traffic TP in the FM frequency range
» page 25 .
› TP in the DAB frequency range
› TMC traffic report with dynamic adjustment of the current route option
For the correct TMC function, the following conditions are required: The vehicle is within range of the FM RDS-TMC.Adequate and uninterrupted signal reception of a traffic report station 1)
.
Current navigation data in the device.
Operation
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 63.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital data service emitted by the radio sta-tion for continuous transmission of traffic information.
›
Press TRAFFIC to display a list of
traffic reports …/… .
Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report details » page 64.
If a TMC traffic radio station is available for current location, the TMC traffic re-
ports are updated continuously in the background. The station you are listening
to does not have to be a TMC station.
The reception of TMC traffic reports is always switched on and cannot be turned off.
The accuracy of the dynamic route guidance depends on the transmitted traffic
reports. The radio stations broadcasting this information are responsible for the
content.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and saved by the radio navigation sys- tem when navigation data are available for the driven area.
Switch dynamic route on/off
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 63.›
In the Navigation main menu, press  Route options → → Dynamic route .
Traffic reports influence dynamic route guidance by means of TMC reports when
the Dynamic route » page 47 function is switched on.
Dynamic route switched on
Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are dis-
played in the map by means of a coloured symbol (e.g., ,  ,  , etc.). Traffic
problems, which do not affect the route, are displayed in the map by means of a
grey symbol. The direction in which a traffic problem is found, is displayed by
means of an arrow in the symbol.
Dynamic route switched off
You are not alerted to received traffic disruptions along your route and are guided
through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the button TRAFFIC
.
If one of the announced traffic disruptions lies along your route, you can also
switch on the dynamic route guidance during the current route guidance or block
the route manually » page 63.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not always
offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
