tinations can be changed at any time.

Recording the route
General notes
Routes are recorded using the SD card.
Requirements: the SD card has the FAT data
system format (e.g. FAT32).
When recording the route, bear in mind the fol-
lowing:
RIf the SD card is inserted, it must not be
removed during recording.
RIf route recording is started manually, it must
be finished manually before the multimedia
system is switched off (e. g. when the engine
is switched off).
RThe multimedia system minimizes the num-
ber of route points recorded. Therefore when
the recorded route is subsequently com-
menced, it may differ from the route that was
originally recorded.

Route guidance
General notes
The multimedia system calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
86Route guidance
Navigation

Rroad narrowing
Rtemporary 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 (
Ypage 74).
The navigation system guides you to your des-
tination by means of driving recommendations
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
navigation system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applies:
RDuring route guidance, the navigation system
tries to avoid roads with restricted access.
Those roads, for example, that are closed to
through-traffic.
RRoads 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.
Displays during route guidance
Change of direction
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the multifunction display (see the vehicle Operator's Man-
ual).
Preparation phase: the navigation system prepares you for the upcoming change of direction.
Based on the example display below, the change of direction is announced by the "Prepare to turn
right message", for instance. You see the full-screen map.
Announcement phase: the navigation system announces the imminent change of direction. The
change of direction is announced ahead of time, such as with the announcement "Turn right in
0.5 miles".
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 guidance87
Navigation
Z

:Next road
;Point at which the change of direction takes place (white dot)
=Change of direction (turn right here)
?Distance to the next change of direction
Change-of-direction phase: the navigation system announces the immediate change of direction.
The change of direction is announced ahead of time, e.g. with the announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announcement phase.
The change of direction is performed when the light-colored bar on the right drops down to 0 ft and
the current vehicle position symbol has reached the white change-of-direction point.
When the change of direction is completed, the map will appear in full screen mode again.
