Route guidance
Introduction
Once route guidance has started, the route is calculated according to the
data selected in route options.
The unit switches to the map view. You are guided to your chosen destina-
tion by announcements and visual recommendations.
If dynamic route guidance is activated, TMC traffic reports will be taken into
account in the route calculation ⇒ page 68.
The route options can be changed manually while route guidance is in pro-
gress.
All of the unit's audio sources are available during route guidance.

WARNING
The recommendations and traffic signs shown by the navigation system
may differ from the true traffic conditions.
● Traffic signs and traffic regulations have priority over the recommen-
dations and displays provided by the navigation system.
● Adjust your speed and driving style to visibility, road, traffic and
weather conditions.

played.
Fig. 67 Map view during
route guidance
When route guidance starts, the system automatically switches to the map
view ⇒ Fig. 66.
The red  symbol indicates the vehicle's position and heading ⇒ Fig. 66. If
the vehicle position symbol  remains in the same position and the map view “freezes”, it is currently not possible to determine the vehicle's posi-
tion, e.g. in a multi-storey car park.
During route guidance the navigation route is shown as a blue line. Sec-
tions closed to traffic either manually ⇒ page 68 or due to TMC messages
advising of traffic congestion are shown in colour on the calculated route.
The next road to take is displayed in the top line of the screen.
After a few seconds, the function buttons disappear from the bottom line of
the screen to display more information on the route ⇒ Fig. 67.
● Briefly press the bottom-right or bottom-left area of the screen to display
the function buttons again ⇒ Fig. 66.
● Pressing the NAV
unit button switches between the
Navigation main
menu and the map view.
When the function buttons are hidden, the current street and information
about the journey length are displayed on the bottom line of the screen
⇒  Fig. 67.

Shortly before you reach a turning point, a turning arrow appears, indicating
the direction to turn. The distance to the turning point is also displayed be-
low it.
Changing the map scale (Autozoom)
The “Autozoom” function is enabled for the map view by default. This
means that the map view automatically zooms in and out: Small scale on
motorways. Large scale in urban areas.

to manually change the scale of the
map for a few seconds. Turn the knob clockwise to zoom in. Turn the knob
anticlockwise to zoom out.
● To permanently retain the manually selected map scale, “Autozoom”
must be deactivated in the Navigation setup menu ⇒ page 71. 

Displaying speed limits
If there is a speed limit stored in the navigation data for the road along
which you are travelling, this will be displayed on the map. During route
guidance, the arrow indicating a change of direction takes precedence over
the speed limit display.
Please remember that the navigation data may not be up-to-date and that
the system has limitations ⇒ page 44! The speed limit display is activated in the navigation system settings
⇒ page 71.
Points of interest on map
Depending on the programmed settings, points of interest (petrol stations,
car parks, Technical Services) will be displayed as symbols on the map
⇒ page 71.
Note
If you miss a turning during route guidance and are currently unable to turn
back, keep on driving until the navigation system offers a new route.
Note
The quality of the instructions given by the unit will depend on the naviga-
tion data used.
Note
In addition, the route is optimised with the TMC traffic news received
⇒ page 68. The radio stations broadcasting the traffic information are re-
sponsible for the quality and content of the TMC traffic reports. 

Navigation
The route list contains the names or designations of roads to be driven on
before each turning point. These are referred to below as “route sections”.
All route sections to be passed up to the next destination are displayed.
The list also shows the distance to be travelled along each route section
and the expected time required to reach the next turning point.
● Turn the setting knob ⇒ Fig. 1 10
to view the route list.
● Press the setting knob or Details function button to obtain more infor-
mation about a marked section in an additional information window.
● Press the 
unit button to close the information window.
Display sections of route
The arrow  behind an entry in the route list indicates that more sections
can be displayed.
● Select the entry with the arrow  by turning the setting knob and display
the sections of the route by pressing “Display”. The arrow changes to .
● Press the entry with the arrow  to hide the sections of the route again. 
Manually excluding sections in the route list
The sections of the journey which are marked can be excluded individually
or all together from the calculation in the route lists. Only one exclusion may
be entered at a time.
● Displaying the route list ⇒ page 66.
● Turn the setting knob ⇒ Fig. 1 10
to mark the first route section of the
stretch of route to be excluded.
● Press the Exclude
function button.
The item is marked as excluded and the function button changes to Exclude to
. If, instead of the button
Exclude to
, Re-open appears in the route list, this
means that the section has already been excluded.
● Select the route section of the stretch of route you wish to exclude and
press the Exclude to
function button.
If the Exclude to
button is not active, the section to be excluded is too long.
(Max) is displayed on the bottom line of the screen after the excluded dis-
tance.
● Shorten the section of route to be excluded until the word (Max) disap-
pears and it is possible to select the Exclude to
function button. At the same
time, display partial sections of the route within a section of the route
⇒  page 67.
When an exclusion has been entered, the route list closes.
Route guidance will start again when the navigation system has calculated
an alternative route to the excluded section.
The function Exclude
button changes to Include in the route list. The exclu-
ded sections are marked in red on the navigation map. When an alternative

Channel)
Fig. 72 Route options
settings menu
The prerequisite for dynamic route guidance is always the reception of a
TMC traffic news station for the navigation area available in the unit. TMC
traffic reports received can be displayed in a list ⇒ page 69.
If dynamic route guidance is activated, any TMC traffic reports are taken into
account in the route calculation.
Switching the dynamic navigation on or off
● Press the SETUP
unit button in one of the navigation menus.
● In the Navigation setup menu, press the Route options function button to
open the Route options setup menu ⇒ Fig. 72.

Traffic incidents displayed on the map
Traffic incidents reported via TMC that are on the route are shown on the
map by a red symbol. Incidents that are not on the route are shown on the
map by a grey symbol. The positioning of the TMC symbol indicates the inci-
dent and the direction if both are clearly defined in the TMC traffic message.
If route guidance is not active, all traffic incidents are coloured grey.
Dynamic route guidance
If the  Dynamic route
function button is activated and a diversion to avoid
traffic congestion on the route is likely to save time, the navigation system
automatically calculates an alternative route.
An announcement is given when the route is recalculated. The same an-
nouncement is given if the traffic incident that was present when the route
was originally calculated is now no longer reported.
Note
Avoiding an incident based on TMC traffic reports may not always save time,
if, for instance, there is also heavy traffic on the alternative route.
Note
If a traffic incident is located on a route section further ahead, it is possible
to exclude the section manually if the TMC traffic report has not yet been
received.
Note
The quality of traffic messages depends on the station broadcasting the
traffic reports. This station is responsible for the content of the traffic re-
ports. Displaying TMC traffic reports (TRAFFIC)

fic reports received.

a received TMC traffic re-
port.
The unit constantly receives TMC traffic reports in the background, provided
a TMC traffic news station can be received at the current location. The sta-
tion listened to does not have to be the TMC traffic news station. 
