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
Route guidanceNavigation
system is able to guide you to a destination even
from an off-road location.
At the start of route guidance, you will see the
Road Not Mapped
Road Not Mapped message, an arrow and the
distance to the destination. The arrow shows
the compass heading to the actual destination.
As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known
to the system, route guidance continues in the
usual way.
Off-road during route guidance Due to road construction, for example, there
may be differences between the data on the
digital map and the actual course of the road.
In such cases, the system will temporarily be
unable to locate the vehicle position on the dig- ital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-road
position.
In the display, you will then see the Road Not
Road Not
Mapped Mapped message, an arrow and the distance to
the destination. The direction arrow shows the
compass heading to the destination.
As soon as the system can assign the vehicle
position to the map again, route guidance con-
tinues in the usual way. Real-time traffic reports
Prerequisites
This function is currently not available for Can-
ada.
In order to receive real-time traffic reports via
satellite radio, you need to subscribe to SIRIUS
XM Satellite Radio Traffic Message Service.
Further information on satellite radio
(Y page 136).
The multimedia system can receive traffic
reports via satellite radio and take account of
these for route guidance in the navigation sys-
tem. Received traffic reports are displayed on
the map either as text or as symbols. Real-time traffic reports on the map
The multimedia system can show certain traffic
incidents on the map with symbols (type of inci-
dent) and colored lines (extent). Traffic reports
are shown on the map at scales of 1/32 mi to
20 mi.
When 0043is displayed, traffic reports can be
received or traffic reports are available. If it is
not displayed, no reception is possible.

(Y page 55).
If you have selected Dynamic Traffic Route Dynamic Traffic Route
as the route type, the multimedia system guides

General notes
If a route to a destination has been calculated,
the multimedia system saves the destination to the last destinations memory. If the memory is
full, the multimedia system overwrites the old-
est destination. When you save the current vehi-
cle position or a crosshair position, this position is stored in the "Last destinations" memory.
You can save destinations permanently in the
address book and on an SD card. For example,
you can save a destination as your home
address immediately after entering the address
(Y page 58).
Requirements: the SD card has the FAT data
system format (e.g. FAT32). Storing the destination in the address
