Route guidance
General notes
The multimediasystem calculates the route to
the destination without taking the foll owing into
account, for example:
Rtraff iclights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stoppin g restrictions
Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary trafficrules and regulations
The navigation system can give differing driving
recommendations ifthe actual street/traff icsit-
uation does not correspond with the digital
map's data. For example, ifthe road layout or
the direction of a one-way street has been
changed.
For th isreason, you must always observe road
and traff icrules and regulations during your
jo urney. Road and traff icrules and regulations
always have priority over system driving recom-
mendations.
Route guidance begins once a route has been
calculated (
Ypage 59).
The multimed iasystem guides you to your des-
tination bymeans of navigation announcements
in the form of audiblenavigation announce-
ments and route guidance displays.
The route guidance displays can beseen ifnav-
igation mode is switched on.
If you donot follow the navigation announce-
ments or ifyou leave the calculated route, the
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digit al map contains the corresponding
information, the foll owingapplies :
RDuring route guidance, the multimed iasys-
tem tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
whic h are closed to through-traffic.
RRoads that have time restrictions (e.g. closed
on Sundays and publicholidays) are cons id-
ered for route guidance on days when they are
open. For th ispurpose, the relevant times
must becorrect lystored inthe database.
Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-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
:Next road or direction
;Point at which the change of direction takes
place (white dot)
=Change of direction (turn right here)
?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 leftsideof the display, and
a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D
image of the imminent change of direction is
shown on the right sideof the display.
