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

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
