The navigation application will reliably guide you to your destination without
the need to read maps.
The current traffic situation is taken
into account in the route calculation.
For this reason, the Infotainment
system receives traffic
announcements in the current
reception area via RDS-TMC.
The navigation application cannot,
however, take into account traffic
incidents, traffic regulations changed at short notice and hazards or
problems that arise suddenly (e.g.
road works).Caution
The usage of the navigation
system does not release the driver
from the responsibility for a
correct, vigilant attitude in road
traffic. The relevant traffic
regulations must always be
followed. If a navigation instruction contradicts traffic regulations, the
traffic regulations always apply.
Functioning of the navigation
application
The position and movement of the
vehicle are detected by the navigation application using sensors. The
travelled distance is determined by
the vehicle's speedometer signal and
turning movements on bends by a
gyro sensor. The position is
determined by the GPS (Global
Positioning System) satellites.
By comparing the sensor signals with the digital maps, it is possible to
determine the position with an
accuracy of approx. 10 metres.
The system will also work with poor
GPS reception, however, the
accuracy of the determination of the
position will be reduced.
After the entry of the destination
address or point of interest (nearest
petrol station, hotel, etc.) the route is
calculated from the current location to
the destination selected.
Route guidance is provided by voice
commands and a direction arrow, as
well as with the aid of a multi-colour
map display.

Route simulation
The Infotainment system features a
route simulation mode for test
purposes.
To start the simulation mode, press
HOME , select Config and then
Navigation Settings .
Scroll through the list and select
Route Simulation to display the
respective submenu.
Starting position
Since the simulation mode does not
draw on the GPS signal providing the current position of the vehicle, a start
position must be set manually.Use Last Known Position
To set the last position provided by a GPS signal as starting point, select
Use Last Known Position .Use Previous Destination
To use one of the last destinations
entered as starting point, select Use
Previous Destination . The previous
destinations list is displayed.
Select the desired address.Use Specified Location
To use a specific location as starting
point, select Use Specified Location .
Enter an address. Find a detailed description 3 35.
Simulation mode is started.
Using the simulation mode
Enter an address and start guidance.

Cancelling simulation mode
To leave the simulation mode, press
HOME , select Config and then
Navigation Settings .
Scroll through the list and select
Route Simulation to display the
respective submenu.
Select Cancel Route Simulation .
Additional route simulation menu
When route guidance is active in the
simulation mode, an additional menu
is displayed in the Navigation Menu.
Select Menu to display the Navigation
Menu . Scroll through the list and
select Route Simulation to display the
respective submenu.
To display the next simulated turning
manoeuvre on the map, select Next
Manoeuvre .
To stop the simulated route guidance, select Stop Simulation . The guidance
process is stopped, the route
guidance mode remains active.
Note
Alternatively, use the screen buttons
on the map.
Usage
Map manipulation
The visible map section on the map display can be moved freely in all
directions.
