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.

: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.

Lane recommendations
:Recommended lanes (white)
;Possible lane (light gray)
=Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
If the digital map contains the relevant data, the navigation system can display lane recommenda-
tions on multi-lane roads for the next change of direction.
Recommended lane :: in this lane, you will be able to complete the next change of direction and
the one after that.
Possible lane ;: you will be able to complete the next change of direction only in this lane.
Lane not recommended =: you will not be able to complete the next change of direction if you stay
in this lane.
The navigation system shows the lane recommendations for the next two changes of direction. The multifunction display also shows lane recommendations (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).

Problems with the navigation system
ProblemPossible causes/consequences and MSolutions
The multimedia system
does not resume route
guidance after the jour-
ney has been interrup-
ted.Route guidance is canceled if you interrupt the journey for more than
two hours.
"Interrupting the journey" refers to stopping the vehicle.
"Continuing route guidance" refers to switching the multimedia sys-
tem back on and driving on.
XContinue route guidance manually (Ypage 92).
ProblemPossible causes/consequences andMSolutions
The multimedia system
is unable to determine
the vehicle's position.The multimedia system must identify the vehicle’s position again after
it has been transported.
Example:
RAfter transporting the vehicle by ferry
RAfter transporting the vehicle by motorail
XStart the vehicle and pull away.
The multimedia system calculates the vehicle's position. Depending
on the driving situation, this may take some time.
Route guidance may be restricted during the determination of the
vehicle's position.
When positioning is complete, route guidance is resumed with nav-
igation announcements and route guidance displays.
