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,

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. 

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.

Navigation
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)
Fig. 73 List of TMC traf-
fic reports received.
Fig. 74 Detailed view of
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. 

70Navigation
The unit only processes and displays TMC traffic reports affecting the area
within a radius of roughly 100 km from the current vehicle position.
TMC traffic reports are required for dynamic route guidance and are dis-
played on the map ⇒  page 68.
Display TMC traffic reports
● Press the TRAFFIC
unit button to display the list of the current TMC traffic
reports ⇒ Fig. 73.
● Press one of the TMC traffic reports on the screen to open the detailed
view ⇒ Fig. 74.
● Alternatively: select the TMC report by turning setting button ⇒ Fig. 1 10
and press to open a detailed view
⇒ Fig. 74.
● In the detailed view, you can browse through the TMC traffic reports us-
ing the function buttons Previous
and Next.
Display TMC traffic news stations
● Open the list of the current TMC traffic reports.
● Press the 

⇒  Fig. 1 7 unit button to open the information window. The
current TMC traffic news station is displayed.
● Press the 
unit button again to close the information window.
Note
By using the Congestion ahead ⇒ Fig. 73 function button it is possible to enter
a manual exclusion from the vehicle position ⇒ page 68.
Note
The radio-navigation system can only process and store TMC traffic reports
if the unit has access to navigation data for the area you are currently travel-
ling through.
Note
The quality of the dynamic route guidance depends on the information con-
tained in the TMC traffic reports. The radio stations are responsible for the
content of the news broadcast. 
Route guidance in demo mode
If demo mode is activated in the Navigation setup menu ⇒ page 71, an ad-
ditional pop-up window opens when you start route guidance.
● Pressing the Demo
function button starts a “virtual route guidance” to
the destination you have entered.
● If you press the Normal
function button, a “real route guidance” starts.
The sequence of events and the operations in virtual route guidance are
similar to those in real route guidance.
Virtual route guidance is repeated when you reach the fictitious destination
and always starts again from the starting point if it is interrupted.
If the starting point for demo mode has been defined manually in the Navi-
gation setup menu, virtual route guidance will start from this position.
If the vehicle is moved and the unit can determine its current location by
GPS, any manually entered starting point will be overwritten with the current
vehicle location ⇒ page 71.
When real route guidance is started following virtual route guidance in
demo mode, the unit first has to reorient itself. This may take some time,
depending on the number of satellites the unit can currently receive. Mov-
ing the vehicle may speed up the reorientation process. 

Navigation
Ending demonstration mode
As a general rule, the Demo mode should be switched off after use, other-
wise you will always have to select between virtual navigation or normal
navigation before starting navigation to a destination.
Normally, the demonstration mode automatically ends on completion of the
route guidance programme or when a new navigation destination (not de-
tour) is entered. When the vehicle starts to move, or when the unit is switch-
ed off, the demonstration mode ends.
If necessary, switch off the demonstration mode in the navigation setup
menu.
● Press the SETUP
unit button in one of the navigation menus.
● Untick the checkbox for the 
Demo mode function button. 
