The navigation system will reliably guide you to your destination without
the need to read maps, even if you
have no local knowledge whatsoever.
The current traffic situation is taken
into account in the route calculation,
if dynamic route guidance is used. For
this purpose the Infotainment system
receives traffic announcements in the current reception area via RDS-TMC.
The navigation system cannot,
however, take into account traffic
incidents, traffic regulations changed at short notice and hazards or
problems that arise suddenly (e.g.
road works).Caution
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic. The relevant traffic
regulations must always be
followed. If a navigation instruction contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
Functioning of the navigation
system
The position and movement of the
vehicle are detected by the navigation
system using sensors. The travelled
distance is determined by the
vehicle's speedometer signal, turning movements on bends by a gyro
sensor. The position is determined by
the GPS satellites (Global Positioning System).
By comparing the sensor signals with the digital maps on the map SD card,
it is possible to determine the position with an accuracy of approx. 10 m.
The system will also work with poor
GPS reception, however, the
accuracy of the determination of the
position will be reduced.
After the entry of the destination
address or point of interest (nearest petrol station, hotel, etc.) the route is
calculated from the current location to
the destination selected.
Navigation37
The route guidance is provided by
voice commands and a direction
arrow, as well as with the aid of a
multi-colour map display.
TMC traffic information system
and dynamic route guidance
The TMC traffic information system
receives all current traffic information from TMC radio stations. If dynamic
route guidance is active, this
information is included in the
calculation of the overall route. During
this process, the route is planned so that traffic problems related to pre-
selected criteria are avoided.
If there is a traffic problem during
active route guidance, depending on
the pre-settings, a message appears as to whether the route should be
changed.
TMC traffic information is displayed
on the map display as symbols or as
detailed text in the TRAFFIC
MESSAGES menu.
To be able to use TMC traffic
information, the system has to receive TMC stations in the relevant region.Dynamic route guidance only works if
traffic information is received via the
TMC traffic information system.
The dynamic route guidance function
can be deactivated, see chapter
"Guidance" 3 65.
Map data
All required map data is stored on an SD card provided with the
Infotainment system.

handling and replacement, see
chapter "Maps" 3 71
