Whenever data exist, route calculation take s into account historical traffic data for
the given day of week and time of day (page 76).
If the setting for Traffic Settings is valid, Real-time Traffic events are taken into
account and the route is largely modified.
The navigation system automa tically recalculates the route if you deviate from the
proposed itinerary or if a newly received Traffic event concerns a part of the
recommended route.
For further information about Route Settings see page 80.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

4.1.3 Road safety cameras and other proximity alert points (Only some
countries and regions)
There is a special proximity warning for road safety camer as (like speed or red light
cameras) and other proximity alert points (like schools or railroad crossings).
The application can warn you when you a pproach road safety cameras like speed
cameras or dangerous areas li ke school zones or railroad crossings. You can set up
the different alert type s individually in Warning Settings (page 78).
The following alert types are available:
• Audio warning: When appr oaching one of these points, a beep sound (regular
sound) can be used or the type of warning can be announced (TTS), and an extra
alert can warn you if you exceed the given speed limit while approaching the point.
• Always: The type of the alert point, its distance, and the related speed limit appear
on the Map screen while you are approaching one of these points.
For some of the alert points, the enforced or expected speed limit is available. For
these points, the audio alert can be diff erent if you are below or above the given
speed limit.
Setting can be selected using Warning Settings:
• Only when speeding: The audio alert is only played when you exceed the given
speed limit.
• When approaching: The audio alert is always played when approaching one of these alert points. To draw you attentio n, the alert may differ if you exceed the
speed limit.
The warning for road safety cameras is di sabled when you are in a country where
road safety camera warning is prohibited. However, you must ensure on your own
liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use it.

4.1.4 Speed limit warning (Only some countries and regions)
Maps may contain information about the speed limits of the roads. The navigation
system is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit. This information may not
be available for your region (ask your local dealer), or may not be fully correct for all
roads on the map.
The speed warning can be set from the Warning Settings (page 78).
Setting can be selected using Warning Settings:
• Audio warning: You will hear a warning beep if you exceed the speed limit by a certain percentage.
• Visual warning: If you exceed the speed limit on a road, the speed limit for the
current road is shown on the map.
You can also choose to see the speed limit sign on the map all the time.
4.1.5 Traffic information in route planning (Only some countries and regions)
The recommended route is not always the same between two points. Offline
historical traffic info rmation (historical speed informat ion or traffic patterns) can be
taken into account in the route calculation based on the time of day and the day of
week whenever suitable data exists. In addition, real-time traffic information can
help you avoid current traffic events like temporary road closures or a traffic jam
caused by an accident. Both functions are subject to data availability.
Select after selecting on the MA P screen to display the historical
traffic information on the map. A 2D map is displayed with road segments colored
by the density of the traffic in the given period. The current information is shown
when you open the screen. Modify the day of week and the time of day to see the
desired period.

4.1.5.1 Historical traffic
If historical traffic informat
ion is available with the map data, the navigation system
can use it when planning a route. In norma l cases, these statistics help you avoid
usual traffic jams on the given day of week in the given hour but in some cases like
on public holidays that fall on normal weekdays, they can be misleading. You can
disable this feature in Traffic Settings (page 79).
Select after selecting on the MAP screen to display the historical
traffic information on the map.

4.2.3 Traffic Settings
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.
ButtonDescription
Use this switch to enable or disable historical
traffic data and traffic patterns. This locally
stored information can be very useful in normal
circumstances but for example on public
holidays it may be better to turn off in order not
to take into account normal weekday traffic
jams.
Alternative routes are offered for detours.
An appropriate alternativ e route is determined
provided by the navigation system in
consideration of traffic conditions.
You can select how much time delay on the
alternative route you are willing to accept.
The alternative route is offered based on the set
time.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.

4.2.4 Route Settings
These settings determine how routes will be calculated.
ButtonDescription
The route calculation can be optimized for
different situations. See below for details.
You might need to avoid highways/freeways if
you are towing another vehicle.
Charge roads are pay roads where you can
purchase a pass or vignette to use the road for a
longer period of time. They can be enabled or
disabled separately from toll roads.
The navigation system includes toll roads (pay
roads where there is a per-use charge) in the
routes by default. If you disable toll roads, the
navigation system plans the best toll-free route.
The navigation system includes ferries in a
planned route by default. However, a map does
not necessarily contain information about the
accessibility of temporar y ferries. You might
also need to pay a fare on ferries.
Setting in which routes with carpool lanes can
be created or not created.
A border crossing may be a shorter route
depending on the route. For this function, you
can select whether or not to cross a border
when planning the route.
The navigation system excludes unpaved roads
by default: unpaved roads can be in a bad
condition and usually you cannot reach the
speed limit on them.
Some functions are not available depending on some countries and regions.
