Route calculation
The route is calculated automatically according to the entered destination. The calculation takes the settings of the route options » page 44 (route type, dy-
namic 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 an-
nouncements can only then be re-transmitted.
If Demo mode is switched on » page 45, 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
calculation, for the route types with information on the route length and the
expected 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 44.
It is possible to select a pre-calculated route before the calculation of the re-
maining 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 calcula-
ted route
› Between 30 and 40 min - the screen switches to “standby” mode (energy-
saving mode of the screen); the route guidance continues using the calcula-
ted route› Between 40 min and 120 min - the unit screen displays the message
Contin-
ue route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance con-
tinues 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
vehicles with the KESSY system, ignition switched off and the driver's door
opened):
› Within 10 min - route guidance is continued taking into account the calcula-
ted route
› Between 10 min and 120 min - the screen switches to “standby mode” (ener-
gy-saving mode of the screen); the unit screen displays the message Contin-
ue route guidance? ; after you confirm the message, the route guidance con-
tinues using the calculated route
› After 120 min - route guidance is cancelled.
Graphic navigation instructions
The graphical navigation instructions are displayed: › in the MAXI DOT display
» page 12.
› in the split screen in the unit screen
» page 49.
Navigation announcements
The device makes navigation announcements. The navigation announcements
are started as soon as the route calculation is complete or a route type has
been selected.
The navigation announcements are generated by the instrument system. The
lawless clarity of the message (eg, road or city name) cannot always be guar-
anteed.
Before turning, up to 3 recommendations are issued:
The last navigation announcement can be repeated: › by pressing the menu knob
2

» Fig. 1 on page 5 ;
› by pressing the dial
2

» Fig. 9 on page 12 on the multifunction steering
wheel.
The timing of the navigation announcement is dependent on the type of road
and the driving speed. For example, on motorways the first announcement is
given about 2000 m (6000 ft) before the place where you want to exit the mo-
torway. 
57Navigation

During dynamic route guidance, the unit notifies the driver of traffic problems.
When a new route is being calculated due to traffic problems, the announce-
ment Calculating the route... . sounds.
Set the output volume of the navigation announcements or mute it during a
phone call » page 45.
Route
When there is a calculated route to the destination, the recommended route is
displayed.

The road is getting busier. For this reason, information about the current road
and traffic conditions will gain in importance.
TMC traffic reports are used to optimise the route during route guidance when
there are traffic disruptions. 
1)
If the time of arrival or remaining travelling time is greater than 24 hours,
 is displayed inside the sym-
bol.

The device can obtain this information by using the following facilities:
› Traffic TP in the FM frequency range
» page 23 .
› 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
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital data service emitted by the radio
station for continuous transmission of traffic information.

Press  to display a list of traffic reports
Traffic report …/….
Touch one of the traffic report entries to display traffic report de-
tails » page 59 .
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 listen-
ing 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 traf-
fic 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
system when navigation data are available for the driven area.
Switch dynamic route on/off

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 44 function is switched on.
Dynamic route switched on
Information on traffic problems received via TMC which affect the route are
displayed 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 gui-
ded through the traffic disruption by the radio navigation system. The traffic
reports are updated automatically in the unit and displayed by pressing the
button 
.
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 58.
Note
Making a diversion from a traffic jam based on TMC traffic reports may not al-
ways offer a time advantage, e.g. if the diversion route is also congested.
Detailed traffic reports
After pressing the 
button, a screen appears with the following informa-
tion:
