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 was started manually, it
must be finished manually before the multi-
media system 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 the following into
account, for example:
Rtraffic lights
Rstop and yield signs
Rparking or stopping restrictions
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 58).
The multimedia system guides you to your des-
tination by means of navigation announcements
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
multimedia system automatically calculates a
new route to the destination.
If the digital map contains the corresponding
information, the following applie s:
RDuring route guidance, the multimedia sys-
tem tries to avoid roads with restricted
access. These include, for example, roads
which are closed to through-traffic.
RRoads that have time restrictions 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. For example, a time restriction can mean a road is
closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Change of direction
Overview
Changes of direction have three phases:
RPreparation phase
RAnnouncement phase
RChange-of-direction phase
Changes in direction are also shown in the mul-
tifunction display of the instrument cluster (see
the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Preparation phase
The multimedia system prepares you for the
upcoming driving maneuver, e.g. with the
announcement "Prepare to turn right". You see
the full-screen map.
Announcement phase
:Next road or direction
;Point at which the change of direction takes
place (white dot)
=Change of direction (turn right here)
?Distance to the next change of direction
The multimedia system announces the immi-
nent change of direction.
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.
70Route guidance
Navigation

Change-of-direction phase
The multimedia system announces the immedi-
ate change of direction. The change of directionis announced ahead of time, e.g. with the
announcement "Now turn right".
The display is split in two like in the announce-
ment phase.
The change of direction is performed when the
light-color bar on the right drops down to 0 ft
(0 m) an d 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.
Display on highways
The image shows an example of route guidance
at a highway intersection when driving on a
highway.
Lane recommendations
Display on multi-lane roads
:Lanes not recommended (dark gray)
;Possible lane (light gray)
=Recommended lanes (white)
If the digital map contains the relevant data, the
multimedia system can display lane recommen-
dations on multi-lane roads for the next change
of direction.
Lane not recommended :: you will not be able
to complete the next change of direction if you
stay in this lane.
Possible lane ;: you will only be able to com-
plete the next change of direction in this lane.
Recommended lane =: in this lane you will be
able to complete the next change of direction
and the one after that.
The multimedia system shows the lane recom-
mendations for the next two changes of direc-
tion. Lane recommendations are also shown in
the multifunction display of the instrument clus-
ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).
Approaching new lanes

fic jam function. The remaining route on the
highway in this case is blocked in the direction of
travel from the selected exit.
