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.

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.
