Route calculation
The route is calculated automatically according to the entered destination. The calculation takes the settings of the route options » page 48 (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. Nav. announcements
can only then be re-transmitted.
If Demo mode is switched on » page 49, a prompt appears asking whether you
want the guidance to start in demo mode or normal mode.
Demo mode provides a travel simulation to the entered destination. It offers
the chance to travel the calculated route “virtually” on the device 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 economically
quickly
short
Selecting the route type will start route guidance.
After the route has been calculated, additional information specific to the se-
lected route is displayed on the function keys for the route types » page 48,
e.g., use of motorways , toll roads
 and the like.
If the option for alternative routes is disabled, the route is calculated and route
guidance is started according to the preferred route » page 48.
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 minutes - route guidance is continued, taking into account the cal-
culated 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 - The route guidance is cancelled.
Switch ignition off and on again and remove the key temporarily (in vehicles
with the KESSY system, switch off the ignition and open the driver's door):
› 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 - The route guidance is cancelled.
Explanation of graphic navigation instructions
The graphical navigation instructions are displayed: › in the MAXI DOT display
» page 9;
› in the extra window of the device screen
» page 53.
Nav. announcements
The device outputs the navigation announcements. The navigation announce-
ments 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
flawless 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
