General notes
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking the following into
account, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and yield signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R temporary traffic rules and regulations
The navigation system can give differing driving
recommendations if the actual street/traffic sit- uation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, if the road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For this reason, you must always observe road
and traffic rules and regulations during your
journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations
always have priority over system driving recom- mendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (Y page 59).
The multimedia system guides you to your des-
tination by means of navigation announcements in the form of audible navigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can be seen if nav-
igation mode is switched on.
If you do not follow the navigation announce-
ments or if you leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
R During route guidance, the multimedia sys-
tem tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
which are closed to through-traffic.
R Roads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
on Sundays and public holidays) are consid-
ered for route guidance on days when they are open. For this purpose, the relevant times
must be correctly stored in the database. Change of direction
Overview Changes of direction have three phases:
R Preparation phase
R Announcement phase
R Change-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the mul-
tifunction display of the instrument cluster (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase The multimedia system prepares you for the
upcoming driving maneuver, e.g. with the
announcement "Prepare to turn right". You see
the full-screen map.
Announcement phase 0043
Next road or direction
0044 Point at which the change of direction takes
place (white dot)
0087 Change of direction (turn right here)
0085 Distance to the next change of direction
The multimedia system announces the immi-
nent change of direction.
The display is now split into two sectors. The
map is shown on the left side of the display, and a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D
image of the imminent change of direction is
shown on the right side of the display. Route guidance

General notes The navigation system may guide you to off-road
routes that your vehicle cannot drive on without
causing damage to the tires or wheels or the
vehicle itself. It is the driver’s sole responsibility to determine the suitability of the route. The
condition of the off-road routes may vary. The
navigability of off-road routes may be influenced
by various factors such as time of day, time of
year and prevailing weather conditions. The nav-
igation system cannot judge these factors or
take them into account for route guidance.
Route guidance to an off-road destina-
tion The multimedia system can guide you to desti-
nations which are within the area of the digital
map, but which are not themselves on the map.
These destinations are known as off-road des-
tinations, which you can enter using the map, for example. The multimedia system guides you for
as long as possible with navigation announce-
ments and displays on roads known to the sys-
tem.
If the vehicle reaches an area which is not part of the digital map, the display appears as a split-
screen view. On the right, an arrow appears that
points to the off-road destination. You hear the
announcement: "Please follow the arrow on the display". As the vehicle approaches the desti-
nation, you will see a display to this effect.
Route guidance from an off-road loca-
tion to a destination Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on the
digital map, but the map does not contain any
information about that location. The multimedia 76
