A WARNING
--The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter
q page 158, Traffic safety information.
- Obey all traff ic laws when driving.
- The route calculated by the navigation sys-
tem is a recommendation for reaching your
destination. Obey traffic lights, stopp ing re
strictions, one-way streets, lane change re
strictions, etc.
(D Note
- If the driving directions conflict with traffic
laws, obey the traffic laws .
- To reduce the risk of an accident, adjust the
volume of the nav igation system so that sig
nals from outside the veh icle, such as police
and f ire s irens, can be heard easily at all
times.
(i) Tips
- Snow and obstruct ions on the GPS antenna
or interference caused by trees and large
buildings can impair satell ite recept ion and
affect the system's ability to dete rm ine the
veh icle pos it ion. Several deactivated or mal
functioning satell ites can also interrupt G PS
recept ion and affect the system's ability to
determine the vehicle position.
- Because street names sometimes change,
the names stored in the MMI may in rare cases d iffer from the actual street name.

Navig ation
The map disp lay is based on data received from
the Internet in the form of satellite images,
which are then combined with the roadways from the
S tand ard map view . There are two g igabytes
of memory space in the MMI memory that can be
used to temporar ily store the map or navigation
data that was received . Th is is roughly the
amount required for the map/navigation data for
a
2,485 mile (4,000 km) route . As long as the
satellite images loaded fo r route g uidance are
stored, you can use them without having an ac
tive data connection.
